Welcome to The Age of Man.

Planet Earth has been Humanized, remade to suit our purposes.

The question is, have we pushed things too far?

This might help clear things up.

CO2 is the enemy du jour.

The balance of nature is akilter because we generate more CO2 than the environment can naturally respire.

We have removed more of the planet’s CO2 digesting greenery than the system can sustain.

We know that cutting down oxygen producing forests is slowly destroying our niche.

It’s akin to removing irreplaceable chunks of Earth’s lungs.

We cannot survive the CO2 imbalance long enough for forests to regrow.

Yet, the quest for more and more of everything drives some humans to clear cut with no thought for the downside.

It’s Human Nature at work.

Human Nature has no brakes, no reverse, and a firm belief that somebody will always figure it out before the worst happens.

So far it has worked out OK.

In the recent half century, we’ve doubled our population, while increasing our life spans by decades.

In the face of all this, let’s give Earth a chance to speak.

EARTH SEZ…Make Earth Green Again…!

Heads up, Humans.

Here comes the harsh truth.

You have become parasitic.

I don’t care if your greed results in extinction.

I liked being a verdant paradise.

Remember, one quick shiver and you are off like a prom dress.

Yours Truly,

Earth

HMMMM.

Earth sounds serious.

Will we take the hint?

Our history says no.

This is where the Transcend Doubt part comes into play.

Everything above is undoubtedly true.

So what?

There is no doubt we will push until something breaks.

It’s time to get used to it, get over it, and get on with it.

Do not doubt it!

Oh, yeah, Algore’s “Earth Is Burning…Scare The Kids Tour” is counterproductive, self-serving bullshit.
