Coronovirus, climate change and anything else Nature has thrown at them, so far, has failed to put the species Homo sapiens in their place. The reasons for her (inadequate) efforts are clear to see for anyone willing to look: humans have taken over the entire planet and driven all her other special children to the brink of extinction. Humans simply don’t care about anything outside themselves and their own species to do what it takes to keep this diverse, once-thriving planet alive…
While most species are hovering at the precipice of existence, humans are increasing at the rate of 227,000 births per day! And that’s even with the perils of a warming planet and an emerging pandemic to put them in their place. No Mam, it’ll take more than that if you want to rid the world of and save the Earth from arguably the most successful and clearly the most destructive and in-grateful beings you’ve ever brought into this world. Just look at how they treated all the other species who dared to share their genus in centuries past. Bred them to extinction my eye—humans forced themselves on the others just as surely as Harvey Weinstein or Koby Bryant didn’t simply ‘bred’ with their unwilling victims.
Here’s some light reading on overpopulation, for those who want to take a look at the bigger and bigger picture: http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/programs/population_and_sustainability/
There are more than 7 billion people on the planet, and we’re adding 227,000 more every day. The toll on wildlife is impossible to miss: Species are disappearing 1,000 to 10,000 times faster than the natural rate. It’s clear that these issues need to be addressed before it’s too late…
Exposing the Big Game 
Wow! It just gets more amazing as you write and post. Just what I was thinking, too. We are now at the Edge of the World, staring into the abyss, but most humans don’t even notice it or care.
The ecospheric holocaust by mankind as ascribed by the late scholar John A. Livingston is indeed a conundrum as evasive as any before identified by the human mind, the mind-body problem, Cartesian dualism, the meaning of life and problem of death, the nature and existence of the universe. Adding to its difficulty is the question of an all-encompassing nature, which humans are most certainly incapable and unqualified to define: Is it the non-human natural world or a larger reality that somehow allows for the injustice of inhumanity and destruction. Nature does in fact have in store a fate for humanity far outstripping what we witness and envision today. Though geologically catastrophic, it’s a train wreck in slow motion on human time scales, and one could argue (incorrectly) that’s a possible reason for today’s inaction and apathy. But what our species did to the Neanderthals we must consider could have been perpetrated by the Neanderthals themselves, the outcome a product of non-conscious Darwinian processes, accidents of stochastic mechanisms in nature. But why do we not see it so? Why the sense of human exceptionalism and primacy, the same basis for all injustice from vivisection to racism? That’s the question we must grapple with, given that the brain capable enough to have stolen such natural secrets to design atomic weapons and destroy all life on Earth should in principle be able to elucidate the reasons why, and then act. And if action takes place, why is it failing?
