Meh. Don't get me wrong, that sucks, but that's more a result of our ability to ruin the environment than humanity sucking and more. We've been destroying the environment to the best of our abilities for thousands of years, now we're just ultra good at it. Europeans used to think that nature was a bad thing, that it was incumbent on us by some divine mandate to tame it and make it useful. Now we've changed a lot. We may not be perfect, or even particularly good at conservation, but I'd take today's attitude toward the environment over our attitude even just a few decades ago any day.
