we cant do anything ...
humans are like a doomsday machine .. wound up and set running with no off button.
Everything we do to progress - ensures our eventual demise.
We live longer ... we want cooler toys ...
The only thing thats slowed down the process is that some parts of the world are having fewer kids but the population is still growing like crazy.
I think there are short term patches that can be applied - if anyone bothers .. pollution controll, etc .. but that just barely slows things down.
And its all fueled by greed. You dont think we'd have clean energy by now if the oil companies didnt own the planet ?
I say we either start colonizing mars, or we go the logans run route and start popping everyone over s certain age ... maybe as a retirement present.
A gold watch, and a silver bullet.
