Earth's environment getting worse, not better, says WWF ahead of Rio+20

4. You know how the economy gets worse if the 1% hoards all the money?

It works the same way when the 1% of the planet(humanity) attempts to hoard all the resources, which is really what civilization is all about.

Civilization has been an incredible mechanism for crowding out everything else. It's our attempt to write the rules which govern life in our favor. Just like what the 1% does in relation to the government.

So unless all of the history, momentum, and complexity of human society for the last few thousand years just stops, the Rio+20 conference, or anything like it, isn't going to do much of anything. We're not going to give up our dominion easily.
