Agreed with all that except that I think 8 billion is way too damned high. 73% of the animals on this planet have disappeared since I was was born, and back then we had “only” 3.7 billion people. I’ve seen radical declines in my local ecosystem in just the last 5 years. That’s in a hood on the very edge of town, surrounded by rivers, creeks, woods and swamps.
People blame global warming, but that’s very recent and only the tip of the iceberg. Human activity is directly killing everything.
