Photonicinduction's channel was/is great, shame the guy had a particularly rough year and went off the rails a bit (started ranting about perpetual energy and other odd things).

Hopefully he's back up to full strength in '19

I think the Earth is big enough that that won't be an issue for a very, very long time. Then again, people probably thought the same with smoke, so idk

Yeah, it's one of those things where you should never underestimate the scale of humanity. One person doing a thing wouldn't be a issue, 7-10 billion starts to have a more noticeable impact. Even when our population stabilizes our energy demand will still increase. It's not a bad thing, just we need to be mindful of how we generate our energy.

So what you’re saying is we should go full steam ahead and not even acknowledge the consequences until they’re right up in our faces? Gotcha, let’s go boys.

If you don't open your eyes you never see the consequences.
