I could see the present situation coming some 20 years ago. Then there was a very good chance that gentle and reasoned persuasion would turn the industrial-military "civilization" around.

Now, the situation is desparate. There is a possibility that the fractal array of self regulating systems, embodied in the Gaia hypothesis/belief, has been pushed beyond the Lambda point (that which marks the boundary between strange attractor land and chaos).

There is a slim chance, and one worth entertaining, thought the prospect is hardly so, that the Lambda point though alarmingly nigh, has not ben reached.

Such a desparate situation demends desperate remedies. If we and the remaining abused and exploited animal and plant life are to survive, there MUST be an immediate shut down of 90% of the extractive, squandering, pollutng and poisoning industrial and military installations and establishments, however much we may depend on them, for our undeserved comfort. They must not be thrown away by our somnambulistic purblind greed and acquiescience. There are solutions to this, though hard ones.

(Sorry to rant, but I have to say this)
