As usually seems be the case, you aren't seeing the larger picture. Man is causing himself massive long term problems (that may cause his extinction) for short term gains. Don't think "short term" in relativity to your life span... think short in terms of the amount of time homo sapiens have been roaming the planet.
We are deforesting (threatening ourselves in many ways including erosion) for agriculture, we are straining the planet for energy sources to support and sustain what is essentially the human over- population of it's habitat. Nature bites back. If you have not done it, read the posted article. If you can not comprehend the language of the article, stay out of the debate.
All I see when I look down, something jumpin' on the ground, Scratchin' dirt, cluckin' in the barnyard -
Tell me, could that be you?
