A worldwide pandemic meant to wipe out 95% of the world's population would immediately stop the human race from pumping more shit into our atmosphere. At least then, both the planet and the human race would have a chance.
Problem with that is that we'd have to sacrifice our sense of humanity, all of it. We'd be telling our children that we've wiped out billions, men women and children.
If such an act be the only way to survive as a species, I'd rather just go out as a human being with my humanity intact.
The problems we have are very easily fixed. The reason the problems are so great is because we are not doing anything about it. Most of us don't care or don't think there's a problem.
For nature, it's an easy fix. All she's gotta do is release all that methane.

This is true, over here young girls and boys reproduce even before they even have a job or a place of their own. Why? Because they're paid benefits for each child they have and given top priority on the housing list. It's actually beneficial to have multiple kids. Most don't even bother thinking about getting ready or simply thinking about the whole situation at all. It's normal here seeing a teenager or a woman in her early 20's having multiple kids, and often without the dad and so they find other men to reproduce with and end up with even more kids.
It's nothing short of MADNESS!
I've noticed many of them end up depressed, stressed and very unsatisfied with their lives. So I guess it's not entirely beneficial. Still comes at a high price.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
