Major 'Population Correction' Coming For Humanity, Scientist Predicts

64. "Leave nature alone"

Uh, George, species are going extinct because we are NOT leaving nature alone. I'm a long time Carlin fan, but he's got it bass ackwards here. The ARROGANCE is to think we can continue to destroy the ecology of this planet without ultimately destroying ourselves.

Concern for endangered species only touches upon a symptom of the impact we are having, so Carlin may have a point from a very narrow perspective on that issue in isolation.

But his rant is very narrow minded and just plain wrong when he says we should just let nature take its course and stop "meddling" in trying to save species from extinction. The point is we are NOT letting nature take its course. On the contrary, we are altering the course of nature and THAT is what we have to stop doing.
