The Future Is Upon Us The world is an unpredictable tasmanian controlled by the actions of predictable careless beings. Today society is comprised of dependent humans that rely heavily on the manufacture and use of fossil fuels. Without these precious materials many functions of everyday life would cease to exist. And with the abundance of fossil fuels depleting by the second due to drilling, mining, and extracting, the world is slowly slipping into a hole it might not be able to get out of. If the pursuit of energy continues in the direction it is going, more and more problems will arise and inhibit the everyday lives of society while increasing the risk of major disasters inflicted by big energy companies. …show more content…
This brief statement basically sums up the article as a whole. The catastrophes Klare are referring to are energy disasters such as oil spills and gas leaks. As natural resources and fossil fuels decrease, energy companies are having to take higher risks in order to obtain these highly desired commodities. They are having to drill deeper for oil, traverse more risky terrain, and test new technology that many or many not work. In the article Klare is describing some of these disasters and what future repercussions could come if something isn’t done to help solve the global energy
