The Industrial Revolution and mass deforestation for commercial purposes is only a couple centuries old. Not even a blip on the timescale of ecological history.

Most people are living in urban sprawls and megalopolis concentrations.

With a concerted will we can reverse our wasteful use of space and create offsetting green carbon sinks which can suck up the higher levels of carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas heating us up - while pumping out more oxygen.

With or without us - it will balance out.

Of course, scaring the shit out of people may be the only way for us to be a part of the inevitable rebalancing.
