The population of cities the world has outpaced that of the rest of the planet.
Cities are responsible for the emission of carbon dioxide by 80%.
Within five years the Arctic summer ice will be completely dissolved.
Already this summer the Northwest passage was, for five weeks, traveled by ships.
They are all very alarming data raise numerous questions of climate change sull'irreversibilità in place and the future of Earth.
In this regard, I read about Repubblica.it interview with Werner Herzog's very interesting. Speaking of the red crabs of Christmas Island, north-west of Australia, resumed in two of his films ( Toll from deep and Invincible), those "millions and millions of red crabs that came out of the woods," that it was impossible not to step on walking, Herzog reflects on the fate of man and of life on our planet:

"[...] And then as we are aware that these creatures will survive us. After being in Antarctica and have seen the world from a completely different point of view, I realized that our technological civilization, with its huge waste of resources is not sustainable. But not only this, it is obvious that the technology will be the first to disappear. In the end nature will regulate us and we will disappear fairly quickly, more quickly than we are the dinosaurs extinct. For them, it took millions of years, even though millions of years in geological terms they are nothing. The human presence will disappear faster. What will become of us? I spoke with many scientists and they told me that crabs, sea urchins and sponges are the ones who are more likely to survive. Among the terrestrial creatures, reptiles. What remains, instead of us? I think one of the most dangerous follies made man on this planet will remain above the dams, such as the Vajont, which has 60 meters of concrete foundations and steel, and is 150 meters high. Although everything is still standing, and two hundred or three hundred thousand years is still there. Turin there will be no more, and even Los Angeles, but the Vajont will last longer than the pyramids. The greatest of human follies outlive everything else. "
