In some respects, Oil.
Please dont go haywire Mr H...hear me out.
Our primary source of energy as beings is food. In the beginning, we hunted and gathered for food(Energy), so that we could survive to hunt and gather more food.
As we developed, we became aware of other sources of energy which we could apply toward the production of our most direct requirement for food energy.
Yes...it is true that all other forms of energy we became aware of were applied to other non food applications, but every energy source fell upon was most primarily applied to food production.
So is the case with oil as well....
But if that form of energy...which we so germainly depend on for our food supply( Not to mention its other related uses in pesticides, plastics, distribution , processing ect..) also depleets our environment, bankrups our economy, is in short supply, and causes us to potentially go to war over it, what keeps it so entrenched?
Mr H...at the end of the day we are poised to perhaps be unable to stop what we are using to be able to feed ourselves because the profit( and the associated power) losses would be too unbearable for us to part with.
In a shorter version...ill give you a million bucks if you seal this plastic bag around your head for an hour
or, Ill dump chemicals into the river, polluting my water...so I can profit selling paper...
Or...Im gonna wack this guy because if I do....i'll profit...( Its all about the bottom line)
Again the key words in my original definition are "when profit EXCEEDS"
Your thoughts?

Biggest Global Problem?

The biggest global problem is when a large object crashes into the earth causing an extinction level event.

I see where you're coming from, but I would have to take it one step further.
I think our biggest global problem stems from the fact that we (and I'm using "we" collectively for all humanity in general) fail to recognize that humans are not the most important beings on the planet, nor is our existence special or necessary to Earth.

Sounds like you need to actually get out and walk a long trail... Maybe you'll meet some TRUE enviromentalists who are working to preserve open space in developed areas or seeking to UNDERSTAND how nature works so that we can leave minimal impact on the world..
Since you don't seem to LIKE people, that's OK -- you can go protect the bunnies from the bobcats or whatever turns you on..

Why should pointing out that we are far too anthropocentric mean I dislike people?
And what makes you think I'm some sort of "fake" environmentalist?
We're not special, why should we be? And again, why does that mean I don't like humans?Uh maybe when you say that humans "are not special or neccessary to the Earth"..
I'm not sure why you're quoting me as having said that, as I didn't. However, even if I had, it wouldn't mean I dislike all humanity. It would be a remark on current behavior that needs to change.OR was it when you said the planet was "dying a slow death" and attributed that to man.
Interesting you should bring up termites. Here's the problem:You know --- termites are not far behind man in producing GreenHouse gases..
