What is an evironmentalist? an oxymoron A human concerned with saving its own life not that of an ecosystem. The earth will ultimatelay win and repair any of the damage we do. Man will be a distant memory and the Earth will go on as though we were never here much like the dinosaurs. Should we take good care of it while we are here? yes but it's too late for that with the number of people we have and growing, politics etc. All we can do is attempt to slow things down a bit but radical change is coming like it or not.
