The sad thing is that, apart from whatever feedbacks are there in the environement, there are far to many economic feedbacks pushing our civilization towards greater environmental destruction.
Do you think there will such a furore over Canadian tar sands, when the oil from the middle east comes to a trickle ? When the fertilizer plants stop, plastics manufacturing ends, and transporting coal becomes harder ? Should governments care for the Earth or its subjects ? I'm sorry for being so dystopian, but I don't think Science has the ability to bear the burden of, what will be, 10 billion people. This will happen sometime, I just wish I'm not alive to see the day; climate change makes it much worse.
