Actually he is correct. The human species has been the most destructive species or thing short of a comet or meteor in the history of the planet. European culture being the latest and greatest destroyer. Fact is unless the human population regulates itself as to population to zero growth the outcome is known it is not a secret. Growth of a population to fuel economics will achieve that but the greater the growth the greater to the environment damage. We try to contain it with laws but the reality is it is window dressing as even if we stop the visible damage you have feed, and house people. To construct something you usually have wipe out the natural order to do so.

Want to find out what the how to find out non PC? Advocate Zero population growth and mandatory growth management. Hell in the 70's that was discussed in Puget Sound to prevent the destruction of the Sound and other natural things. The folks in PS have not seen the tip of the iceberg for the coming bill for that in PS yet which is in the many many billions.

So as I hop off the box this. Humans and the natural order are 100% non compatible. Salmonids on steroids. Each time we add a house, car, boat, just about every damn thing it is another nail in the coffin. If you were born in this state and accepted the growth your responsible. If your parents moved to this state then the a equal share of the blame is that group and frankly likely more.
