Marcelo Gleiser discusses 'The Madness Of Humanity'

The "blue dot" - we are
facing planetary predation.

This is the second in a series of essays concerning our collective future. The goal is to bring forth some of the main issues humanity faces today, as we move forward to uncertain times. In an effort to be as thorough as possible, we will consider two kinds of threats: those due to natural disasters and those that are man-made.

The idea is to expose some of the dangers and possible mechanisms that have been proposed to deal with these issues. My intention is not to offer a detailed analysis for each threat — but to invite reflection and, hopefully, action - Marcelo Gleiser writes on “The Madness Of Humanity Part 2: Planetary Predation.”
