Saving the biosphere must be seen as a moral enterprise and the most urgent task in human existence if we want to exist for the next millennia. Our species has to quickly decide if our dominant decision-making forces should be irrationality, superstition, wishful thinking and tribal behaviour, or reason, conscience and ecological morality.

Reality couldn’t care less about human idiocy. We should keep that in mind, if not for the sake of millions of other species, then at least for the survival of intelligent life in one of the 200 billion planets in this galaxy.
