And every year you can read about the HOLE in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico that is CAUSED by excess fertilizer and other nutrient runoff. Also, red tide is likely caused by the same runoff. And of course, the Florida MANATEE is soon to be put on the endangered species list because of habitat loss and excess human pollution destroying the seagrass that they eat. Also, think about those CONSEQUENCES (like EXTINCTION is NOT reversible) .........think about those every time you gleefully yell FORE. Maybe the Manatees and the environment should be "fore" warned. And your descendants that will only see a MANATEE STUFFED and in a MUSEUM.

First of all, nobody "gleefully" yells "fore", it is usually the result of a pretty bad shot or perhaps bad judgement when it was hit.
Secondly, and here's a news flash, every century dozens of species go extinct and dozens of new species emerge. Just think what your cow fart, I mean burp scenario would be like if we still had mastodons and wooly mammoths
Extinction and speciation are dynamic processes that have flourished for 3-4 billion years. Do you think we have the wisdom to do better than nature?
