I agree with Emanuel on this point, the holy wars of yesterday bread some of the most atrocious events in history. The inquisitions, the holocausts, Slaughters in Rwanda...Weather political or religious the result will be the same, human nature has not changed, wars will continue to be waged, the only difference is the weapons are getting more and more sophisticated and deadly. This being said, I believe this to be probably within the 2-3 top challenges this planet will face.
In my opinion, climate change is the number one issue, because its conclusion leads to the extinction of most species on this planet, including the human species. We must forget this Myth that humans are somehow more than animals, we need to accept that we are animals like all others and depend on this earth for our sustenance. all other issues, ethical or political are secondary to this one, because without our planet all other human endeavors are futile/
