Good post, clapstyx, and nice clarification on the intended subject of the thread. Let me try to explain what I meant.
We know it's bad. We can make changes, but must do so collectively.
If we don't, a mass extinction event will occur and we have no idea of the potential scale of such an event. It would be very unfortunate if, knowing this ahead of time, we still did nothing.
We can't just give up... decide not to try to correct the issues together. Hiding our heads in the sand like an ostrich will not protect us from ourselves. It would be unfortunate if it took such a large scale global event (as the potential one to which I referred above) in order to make people see the bigger picture and take personal responsibility for change.

I whole-heartedly second that point.

How about you go one step further... Not as humans, but as Earthlings.
Cheers.
