It's a rather scary thought that we now have the power to influence things like the weather. Millenia ago, that's a power reserved only to the gods. Perhaps you're right that we're at that stage in the Mahabharata, where we begin to destroy ourselves which results in the complete obliteration of the planet. Somehow, I think we deserve it anyway. Tesla had it right when he sought to give everyone an even playing field. In an apocalyptic arms raise, no one deserves to have an upperhand against anyone else.
