Look at what happened on Easter Island. A whole population killed themselves off through in-fighting and no thought for their surroundings. The idiots used up every single tree on their island in a race to build those big head things. This then left them with no fertile land to plant crops on and no trees to build fishing boats. So they started fighting over the animals that were left. Pretty soon there was no animals left and still no trees to build boats to escape the island in. They were trapped in a #### of their own making thro' greed. The parallels this programme made were almost fortune telling. The boffins reckon this is a smaller version to what we are doing to Earth, except our vast sea is space and our island is the planet. We will all end up fighting, killing everything and using all the natural resources. In fact, it's not a case of 'we will' more 'we are'. Then we will end up on a desolate island in the middle of nowhere with no escape.
It truly is a scary thought.
