Worthwhile, thought-provoking reading

Excerpt: "We are an uncommonly new species on the planet with a rather unusual brain, prone to extraordinary errors of judgment, still getting our feet wet when measured against geological time.

Nature, on the other hand, never makes a mistake. It experiments, one of which is us. As long as the sun shines, the flow of carbon on planet Earth moves life toward increasing complexity, abundance, and beauty.

Homo sapiens are the only species that blocks, subverts, and breaks the flow of carbon."
