This all reminds me of the butterfly effect. We don't know enough 
about the complexities of natural systems to think we can 'fix' 
things. I wonder if the best approach would be to just accept the 
fact that we are part of nature and it will take care of itself and 
we, as in humans, may be the ultimate sacrifice. Being ostriches 
might not be a bad idea.
