And our influence, our "evil", will destroy the world by overriding millions and millions of years of climate cycles driven by the power of the sun, the Earth's orbit and variations in its axis. And all this is because you bought the latest SUV. Amazing, isn't it????

So let's all go back to living in caves in the dark and hunting our food with a bow and arrow. We will be "saving" the planet

Not ,evil". Lack of knowledge, education, understanding of the poisons and pollutants we unleashed upon the world. Not "evil". Just ignorant of the interdependence of all things. Like kids with new toys, no one told us of the harm our toys could do, so we went blindly on our way tearing down the land and polluting our rivers and oceans. Finally, one smart kid sees the smog, sees pollutants in the oceans and connects the dots. Other kids are to oblivious and can't connect the dots. Others are afraid that they are going to have to give up some of their favorite toys, so they balk at what the emerging picture shows. But, little by little, the picture becomes clear enough that all must acknowledge the big picture, whether they like it or not.
