---I'm doing nothing of the kind. A few hundred thousend humans in the old days mainly
dependent on their own muscles makes very little impact on the biosphere, but 9
BILLIONS with all the machines, cars, heating centrals and so on is quite a different
matter. Yes. Only the modern man (and woman) has the potetial to upset the natural
balance.

Idi Amin was an idiot, but I think that his impact on the biosphere was marginal. The
greed that is a danger to the biosphere have to be looked for elsewhere. Some times in
the very top of the very respected and wealthy part of humanity as they and their
corporations thrive on oil, wood, coal and likes. Commodities that can not be returned
and therefore has a limitied time in use. What's next?
