We do need to take care our environment, and the conservation efforts are much more alive now than they were a century ago. They will get this cleaned up in due time.
I guess we should all quit driving, heating homes, building homes, and farming. Currently these REQUIRE oil and until someone comes up with a viable replacement we can't stop drilling for it. Ethanol isn't viable because we eat corn, the price of grain has increased a lot because of using ethanol. We see it trickle down through increased prices in milk, beef, chicken.
Quoted from wikipedia
"Extinction, though, is usually a natural phenomenon; it is estimated that 99.9% of all species that have ever lived are now extinct"
"Several extinctions during the Holocene extinction have been attributed to the rise of human activity; however, there is no clear consensus among the scientific community on the effect of human activity on extinctions. Only recently have extinctions been recorded and scientists have become alarmed at the high rates of recent extinctions.[4] It is estimated most species that go extinct have never been documented by scientists. Some scientists estimate that up to half of presently existing species may become extinct by 2100."
How do humans know what is normal to the earth??? For most of earths existance there have been no ice caps, yet there they are. We are more like a flea to the earth.
