Final post on this topic to avoid the wrath of Aaron! > your miss the big picture. No, I do not. A bigger picture is that the earth will ultimately be destroyed as the sun comes to the end of its life, but that is not a good reason for us to destroy what is here now - and we are doing that. >Despite all human kind, we will not change earths trajectory in the cosmos. I think we are probably capable of even doing that. >We will only be a pestilence for a short time in the scheme of things, so rest easy my friend.... Does that make it acceptable for us to trash everything in the short to medium term, taking much of the existing life with us?
