I've been reading more and more about this and this is cause to be concerned. We are causing damge to the environment that may be irreparable. And by that I mean irreparable for us. Nature will find to right itself, but we may not be part of that equation when it's all said and done.

I'm slowly getting to the point where I think even if they saw it they'd continue down the same path because taking a detour is to scary. God, I used to be such an optimist. That was before I joined this site and started talking to you! You've turned me into a pessimist… or maybe a realist!
