Thanx tony
You are so right. It is funny to realize how the problem (humans) is actually the only solution left... But to reach it, we need to open our minds & perspectives & admit our mistakes. The thing i've noticed with humans is that rather then destroying what we made wrong, we create a new thing to make it better... one after one, these "make it better" end up needing another & so on...

Good brave words. I agree humanity is rather like a plague on the earth,
and certainly has had that effect on other species. The number of species of larger, slower mammals and birds, an obvious example being the mammoth, that mankind killed off for meat and fur many millennia ago is itself huge. Add to that the species disappearing in the modern age, largely because of loss of habitat because of man's greed, and the oxygen-giving plant life too, and the effects have already been dire. Ironically, the earth can only be saved in the long term by what would amount to an anti-democratic policy where governments across the world imposed bans on cars, aircraft flights, more than one or two children, etc. This isn't about climate change - that remains a moot point as to the cause - but about spreading in increasing numbers and destroying natural resources, especially water.
