There's both good and bad about technology. Go back 200 yrs? No way: No penicillin, no anesthetic. People dying from smallpox, flu, cholera, childbirth, unsanitary conditions everywhere. No MRI's, Cat scans, blood tests. "Sawbones" just gives you some whiskey and a bullet to bite on. C'mon, get real. You'd be lucky to live to be 40. The planet will be just fine. All this bull about global warming is just that. Take a look at the long-term climate, not just the last 100 yrs. Sure, the stuff we do as humans affects our environment, to some degree. But the earth will go into an ice age or whatever regardless of what we do, IF the global conditions dictate it. There is a great documentary playing on either the History or Discovery channel that describes the evolution of the earth and life on it. Take a look. It puts everything in perspective.
Also, species extinction is the natural order of things (survival of the fittest). I read somewhere that thousands of species of ALL kinds or organisms become extinct every day.
So, climb down out of your tree and try and be a responsible citizen from an environmental standpoint but WITHOUT all the "sky is falling" stuff.
