That is one reason to believe that the changes brought about by humans indeed will have a very long run.

As with what we have done with such a large part of the biosphere, where extinction is permanent, and the rapid introduction of non-native species is changing landscapes, human changes are a one-way process.

We don’t get a do-over.

One thing that continually frustrates me is how so many of the self-declared “conservatives” so flippantly approach environmental issues. They (feign?) concern over the “economy”, yet fail to realize our ecology is the original economy.

With regard to the religious right, I’m sure a lot of them believe God would never let that methane escape. He’s got it covered. Told us so in the Bible.
