Are we at our limit, or are we at the limit of technology and methods that are outdated and well within our ability to replace/modify?
We are at our limit and we have a civilization that, for the most part, doesn't give a shit or is incapable of "modifying." Wishful thinking, as in some cases "modifying" includes the application of technologies that don't even exist.

I don't know what devastation you're referencing. Clarification of your question.
Quote:Is it possible that the overall population is nowhere near as pressing as the various activities of that population -even if it is only a small portion of them engaging in any given activity-?
They are forever and always have been directly tied together. Also, you didn't come close to answering my question by asking me a question. Also, 7 billion people using up every resource on this planet and polluting the atmosphere 24/7 is not what I would call a "small portion."
On an additional note, I would like to get one thing straight just for my own future clarification ...
Do you agree with the majority of the world's scientists, that earth is experiencing global warming?
And if you do, do you agree with the estimations made about greenhouse effects in the coming 25 years?
I just realized that I never even established whether or not you take global warming even remotely seriously.
