If you went to visit a friend in hospital, would you cut his oxygen flow in half, reduce his IV drip in half, and double the morphine pump rate without first asking a doctor if this were a wise thing to do? Of course not! Yet humans, as a whole, have done something far more irresponsible to spaceship earth’s life support systems without consulting experts, namely cutting down half the planet’s forests, draining half the wetlands, and doubling the amount of green-house-gas-producing nitrogen entering the soil.
