The idea of man eventually destroying the earth fits very well with many, traditional prophesies and religious beliefs. Christianity included. Its all interlinked. Creation, degeneration, destruction.

Something that is flawed, necessarily cannot last forever. The world was originally created with just the right ingredients of elements, light, air, gasses, water etc to support life, is now out of whack. As Dominion and custodianship of creation was granted to mankind, and free will our right, then our own destruction comes as a consequencee of our own wrong choices. Polluting the air, water, creating a big hole on the ozone layer, altering natural landscapes and ecosystems, etc are our own doing, and there are consequences to everything. Its another symptom of mankinds rebellion toward God the creator.

If like so many native cultures believed, nature was sacred and all living things different manifestations of the creator, then our newfound technological age has suddenly rendered the natural world of no value. We no longer live alongside other lifeforms with respect and wise use, but over exploit for short term gain. This philosophy that has almost completely alienated man from nature is what has caused the most destruction over the past century.

OSLO (Reuters) - About 190 nations meet in Germany next week to try to bridge vast policy gaps between the United States and its main allies over how to combat climate change amid growing evidence that the world is warming.


"Scientific evidence of the dramatic effects of human-induced climate change is becoming stronger," said Richard Kinley, acting head of the U.N. Climate Change Secretariat which will host the meeting in a Bonn hotel.

President George W. Bush denounces Kyoto as an economic straitjacket that unfairly excludes developing nations from a first round to 2012 even though almost all his industrial allies back the scheme.
