3. The problem is population. It's always been population.

If the population of humans occupying the planet could have been limited or controlled, none of this would have been a problem. Unfortunately, every effort at zero population growth in the 70's was stymied by RELIGION which equated every effort with promoting "abortion".
It was misguided and destructive, and typical religious anti-scientific. Fossil fuel burning for energy, over fishing, over grazing, cutting down the rain forest for more beef production, mining, short term money and profit......etc, etc...

Homo Sapiens will eventually become extinct. The fault is at the doorstep of religion. The planet will recover after humans are gone.
