This makes me wonder about the future of humanity, truly. If we look all around us, the majority of us may be aware of this happening, but it has not become a societal, not to mention global, priority.

Is this what happens as an intelligent species technologically advances? In a more grand scheme of the mortality of such species, are we destined for a path of simply utilizing a planet's resources to the extent of destroying such a place and then moving onwards?

This is looking far, far ahead, and is even all even theoretical, blending almost into science fiction, but despite all of the news of global climate change, we cannot do much on an individual level to actually cease the progress of planetary deterioration. We can all help to reduce our own carbon footprint and support programs to spread awareness, but it is, at best, procrastination.

Is this a cynical view? I wonder that too. Much, much to think about regarding the future of humanity. Thanks for sharing this.
