Apocalypse?

It's time for some philsophical thought on why we Go Green and what might happen if we continue to destroy our environment (à la QB):

I can think of three major apocalyptic scenarios resulting from the reckless destruction of our world:

1) We will finally push the limits of the natural order, and the Earth will restore her balance by reducing the human footprint through catastrophic disorder (floods, earthquakes, and/or plagues on a massive scale).

2) We will succeed in driving humanity totally to extinction, taking many other life-forms with us, and rendering the planet uninhabitable: a desolate wasteland orbiting the Sun. This does not discount the idea that evolution could begin all over again after millennia (as long as there is matter and energy in our universe, life is a possibility), but it is unlikely we would recognize the resulting organisms, since the very essence of the Earth—the balance of her elements—would have changed.

3) We will incur the wrath of an omnipotent Creator/ Divine Being, the consequences of which cannot be imagined, as they are not restricted to the laws of nature.

NOTE: It is a futile exercise to “prefer” any of these scenarios: if only we could all take a few minutes to look beyond our daily tasks and consider some of the most basic questions of life, how much we might be changed!
