From the sole begging i said that global warming is not the only issue.
What about this:

it's not just the fact that people have been there, but all the trash, destruction and death we leave anywhere we step.
Fish supplies going down the drain, forests destroyed, polluted drinkable watter.
The fact that there are few uncontaminated drinkable surface wells creeps me out.
I think that global warming is the least of our concerns right now.
IF theres some major global crisis (war for example,...) we would be unimaginably worse that in every war till now. At least back then (in the pre WW2 era) they had lots of drinkable water, ungenetically engineered crops that could survive on their own, more homogeneous wildlife (food). Basically they were better provided by nature than us now.
If something today happens we'd be pretty much screwed, because we depend so much on our industry.
I'm not saying we should move back to the middle ages, but the industry should be reminded it's not just CO2 emissions we worry about.
good day.
What about this:
As of 1995, only 17 percent of the world's land area remained truly wild -- with no human populations, crops, road access or night-time light detectable by satellite, the authors reported.

Natural selection has been supplanted by human selection, meaning that certain species -- such as companion pets -- thrive, while others -- such as river trout -- have been altered specifically for human consumption, often to their detriment.
In the African nation of Namibia, overfishing has allowed large jellyfish to bloom. Prior to 1970, fishermen rarely snared large jellyfish in the Benguela ecosystem off the northern coast of Namibia.
good day.
