maybe you are being a little bit disingenuous. no matter how you dress your statement, the issue is that nature is getting hosed. if the natural order of being were allowed to 'enfold' it would be somewhat plodding effort. the thing is that whatever man has done in this world it has been with a heavy footprint & usually bad/ terminal/ fatal for anything deemed 'value'. even today the arguments about the economies of scale are all doomed to eventual failure if decisions were only strictly based on the resulting bottom line, profit being sooner than later. questions begging to answer...what mitigating circumstances came into being as a result of the drive to profit? whatever is affected, how is it addressed? who 'owns' this responsibility for corrective action for something done wrong & the resulting fix & associated costs to make right? citizenry ultimately pays the price for the abuses of unfettered capitalism aided by complicit/ neutered governmental policies, i.e. non- government.
maybe it would be advantageous to take 1/4 of the land mass out of the equation, to be maintained as wildlands/ preserves, whatever you want to coin it. in years to come this may be our most precious resource in existence. of course, it will never happen.
I guess it is pump more oil, mine more metals, pis* more people off, start more wars.
