“So, just as a junkie, when he’s addicted, has a physiological change throughout his body so that each cell in the body is dependent upon the addition of junk to keep him in any kind of state of painlessness, so the entire American consumer population is hooked on what you might call an oil-burner habit to sustain his daily life cycle. We’re injecting, in the United States.. we’re injecting..into the political..the body politic is a metabolism of the body politic… billions of gallons of oil, millions of volts of electricity, that run automobiles, that run the households, that keep us up all night, that maintain the communication networks, the television and radio. Every family is completely dependent on the services provided by electronics and by consumption of raw materials. We consume sixty per cent of the world’s raw materials with something like three or six per cent of the population, which means that we’ve got an enormous.. an enormous monkey on our back, like an electronic monkey, a raw materials monkey, and we’ve been so conditioned, over the last thirty years at least, to be dependent on that raw material monkey, that if it were removed now, it would be like removing junk from a junkie (and you can’t remove junk from a junkie, without him going kicking and screaming, like a psychotic state of need, and sometimes heart-attack, sometimes suicide..” - Allen Ginsberg

This planet has undertaken numerous near extinction events upon human infestations in the past and will will do so again and again. Yer worried about a non problem as far as the planet is concerned ,it already has an effective environmental plan.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. . . . .

Crop loss globally is alarming. Seems to be H2O rather than CO2, lots of biblical flooding, snow, hail huge deluges of rain, and rats. Lots of farmers late to the land, famine.

There be lots of food to go around. There be lots of despots who will prevent it.
