Oh well another End of the Word is coming. Soon. I have seen few of those go by in my time. Only this time the Prophets of Doom have learned that predicting definitive time of our demise is dangerous, it does not happen on time and they finish with the egg on their faces. So the Apocalypse will happen soon, maybe in ten to hundred year’s time. And our brightest and incorruptible scientists concluded that we the humans are with 90% certainty responsible for it. The United Nations that infallible institution rubber-stamps it. We do things against the nature. We cut the trees and clear the land, burn the fossil fuels, destroy biodiversity of our planet. We are the cause of global warming. We are doing things against the nature??? Hold on, we have to make up our mind, are we part of the nature or are we not? If we are, then what ever we do (and the consequences of doing it) is natural and it is just another step in the evolution. If we are not (being put here on the Earth by God, Aliens or Whatever) then yes the environmentalists and the clerics are right and we are doing things (depending to which religion you believe) we should not.
We humans, together with few other species (cockroaches, rats and mice, sparrows, rabbits, mosquitos and some others) are at present most adaptable species in the world. We got this ability to survive and adapt because we are constantly facing challenges to our survival presented to us by the nature and by ourselves.
Just look at time, effort and the money we spend on trying to eradicate above species. And still they thrive. That pales to insignificance to the time, effort and resources we spent over the millennia trying to eliminate ourselves. And still we thrive.
Just look at sunny side of the things. Even if we have caused the GW, we may have delayed onset of Ice Age.
