This is the same shit that happened with big tobacco and it sent lung cancer rates soaring in the 80s and 90s.
The same thing is going to happen this time around ... except the lung cancer won't affect humans ... the planet is going to be the one to deal with global lung cancer ... and in case you didn't understand the analogy - WE are the cancer cells ... we grow exponentially without regard to our host and continue growing, consuming and generating toxins, even though we know its killing our host.
One of us will either have to die or change ... I'm not worried about the earth because she's been through far worse than us before and survived, so she won't die and she won't change because she doesn't have to, all she has to do is wait ... which leaves us -> if we don't change, then we will die.
