The most frightening thought came over me just now. I fear that the only thing that will stop humans from destroying ALL life on earth, is if we destroy ourselves first. With the greed of oil companies, the only thing that will force them to stop refining oil, and start manufacturing wind turbines and solar panels, will be when people on a massive scale stop using oil based products for things, and start using green energy instead. Oil companies will NOT respond to mere protests, even if 100 million people protested against them. They are just too monetarily powerful to be affected by protestors. And on the other side, we have people who drive cars, who COULD put the hurt (monetarily speaking) on oil companies, by one day just deciding to ride bikes (or at least drive electric-only or ethanol-only cars) from now on. Yet the average person is not willing to inconvenience themselves for the sake of saving the planet.
This leaves only one solution. Humanity has to go. Otherwise, humans will make extinct all non-human life on earth, and without any food sources humanity will die off too. At the end of that scenario, planet Earth will be a lifeless barren rock like Mars. I fear the only way that that that scenario will be prevented, is if the most awful thing happens, and that is the destruction of all humans. Without humanity, all other life on earth will continue, and even flourish, for all eternity. What could possibly lead to the destruction of humanity, ironically, such a thing is only possible at the hand of humans, and that thing is a nuclear war. As terrible as it is, a nuclear war may be the only thing that will save all other life on this planet.
