Highway to Dystopia About spaceship Earth, Climate Change and more

Earth is our home, it is a space ship that placidly zooms around the sun through space. We, the humans, have started inhabiting the Earth fairly late in the game. The Earth is very old, about 4,5 billion years. We've only been around for one- maybe two hundred thousand years. Despite the late arrival of Homo Sapiens, its influence on the Earth cannot be denied. The Holocene passed into the Anthropocene, the age of man. With our intellectual fortitude we've constructed a marvelous civilization full of mysticism, religions, political systems, culture, sports, knowledge and technologies. Our influence on the Earth however isn't good. We are altering the face of the Earth : glaciers and snow packs are melting away, we are willingly destroying forests, hunting animals to the brink of extinction, strip mining large areas of land, and polluting the oceans. Even worse! We've altered the chemical composition of the atmosphere, possibly precipitating a new age of mass extinctions. Are greed, antagonism and dogmatism the arbiters of the right to be? What can we learn?
