Well, while it may be true that, as a species, we are screwed, it would be best if collectively we found a way t ouse the planet on a level that di dnot ACCELERATE that fact. The devesatation caused by our non-sustainable use of this planets resources and our lack of understanding concerning the waste we emit back into it can only cause bigger and more expensive problems down the road, and may lead to huge populaiton losses which, in my opinion, would not necessarily be a bad thing.

Yes, the climate has always fluctuated and, yes, entire ecosystems and groups of flora and fauna have been wiped out during these events. However, these events have always been part of a global system. What we are witnessing now may well be he effects of our own economic/industrial complex where WE are tiggering massive global change.

What the hell, once we're gone the planet will continue to evolve without us, and might evne be better of. Sort of like having a fever, then getting better afterwards once the virus (humans in this case) are gone.

Peace,

Pierre
