The difference between then and now Gary, is that there are in excess of 6 billion humans on the planet. All wanting the same standard of living that we have in the developed world.... We live longer thanks to better medical care. More of us are kicking about because of intensive farming techniques. And to feed the worlds growing population, we cut down the forests, especially the rain-forests at an astounding rate.... Do you really believe we, as a species have No impact on the planets biosphere ?

Overfishing, polution in our rivers and seas. Extremes of weather becomming more the norm.... Flowers comming into bloom in completely the wrong season, animals breeding earlier and earlier in the year, but nothing going on ?

Such arrogance and hubris will be the downfall of the human race from the (alleged) heights we have so far achieved....

Ofcourse, I do believe that we as a species do deserve out baloons being punctured.... But I doubt that the humans alive in 60 - 100 years will thank us for the state of the planet we will leave them.
