If you get out of the barrel, you can see that the human race is more or less insignificant. Yes, we are screwing up the environment and no, we will not stop doing so.

Yes we have killed off many species and ruined many habitats with our greed, yes, we care, and no, we will not stop doing so.

But after we have totally ruined the environment, after we have made it impossible for humans to survive in any numbers, the Earth will just change and another form of life will find those conditions acceptable. It has been seen before and, no doubt, will be seen again.

We think we are important but that is only at the present time. There may be no future for us but there is a future for the Earth.
