To be honest this late in the game it makes no difference, we as a species are screwed. One of the big issues that is never discussed is population and population growth, in the closed biosphere of Earth it is simply unsustainable, we literally have to have a population cap, it is never going to happen. Best to make the most  of the few generations we have left before it all falls apart, climate change, famine, movement of displaced people, wars for resources and water the time of mankind is at an end and we will probably in our vindictive spitefulness take the planet and its flora and fauna with us. We are a virus or simply a bunch of keyants.,(reply>), @Pretty Short You question is not a question just a statement of nonsense, you appear to think that mentioning virus and population cap automatically goes straight to industrial death camps to kill the excess. No where have I mentioned or implied this you have emotionally jumped to an incorrect conclusion.,(reply>), @Badger13x you haven't answered my question,(reply>), @Pretty Short Watch the matrix Agent Smith sums it up perfectly. A virus consumes all the resources in an area and can only survive by moving to a new area, we have run out of areas. Unless you believe that we have bases on other planets and are communicating and have treaties with alien species as some believe.,(reply>), "We are a virus" what are you suggesting and are you willing to start with yourself?
