Humans use too Much of the Sun, Don’t save Enough for Other Species

Here is a story I am either too stupid or naive to understand. Maybe both. Apparently humans are using too much of the sun and are not saving enough for the rest of the species we share the earth with. WHAT? I don’t understand.

HUMANS are just one of the millions of species on Earth, but we use up almost a quarter of the sun’s energy captured by plants – the most of any species.

The human dominance of this natural resource is affecting other species, reducing the amount of energy available to them by almost 10 per cent, scientists report.

Are they trying to say we need to stay inside so that plants and animals won’t be deprived of the sun? How are we depriving them of the sun? When I’m outside the sun shines on me and also everything else outside doesn’t it? I truly don’t understand what they are trying to say.

This showed humans used 24 per cent of the energy that was captured by plants. More than half of this was due to the harvesting of crops or other plants.

Now we are using the sun to harvest crops. We are already supposed to give up meat, now we are using too much sun to harvest crops to eat. What are we supposed to do? This is nature, the natural events life. We are not doing anything wrong by going outside. I’m at a loss here.

“Here we are, just one species on the earth, and we’re grabbing a quarter of the renewable resources … we’re probably being a bit greedy.”

A problem evidently, but no solutions offered. Maybe this is a veiled attack on capitalism with that greedy comment.

Someone try to help me understand what they are trying to say.
