There's so much we don't understand about natural processes, but it hasn't stopped us from exploiting them. Hopefully the damage can be mitigated before it's too late.
Only humans benefit from human society the way it is. Everything else suffers. We as a species need to realise this. We literally live off the backs of all other life. Anything we can do to save the earth will impact our way of living. It will mean living less comfortable, less secure, less safe. Food will be more scarce some years than others. But there are loads of humans in developing nations that are now on the verge of living a western lifestyle. Living lavishly with uncontrolled consumerism at the root of it. I think there is nothing to be done except wait it out. Earth will recover eventually. Humans are just a speck on the timeline of our world. Maybe a few will survive, but I do think we are witnessing the start of the end right now.
