Jurassic era revisited

The Jurassic period and this period here, the Thongmyassic, are similar in many ways. As we've seen from all the documentaries, all the evolutionary paths of animals and dinosaurs eventually arive at an end; species die off. Honestly, we've done a lot to speed up that process for many an animal.
So, I've been thinking that, if environmentalist's projections are correct, we may be in the process of destroying our species. If we destroy our environment so much that it does not allow us to live, then we're gone.
It seems that we'll die off, but not everything will. The world will do just fine without us. In fact it'll be saying:

"don't let the door hit you on the arse."

We are, of course, in the enviable position of being able to analyse everything that happened and will happen. So, we can watch the end coming. We'll probably put it on television and sell advertising.

Maybe there's a reason why rich, wasteful people are using and destroying everything within their reach; they have accepted their mortality, and Darwinism, and are just enjoying the moment. (You know the maxim: "the one who dies with the most toys wins")
Maybe there's also a reason why governments are essentially doing nothing to stop this hayride to hell:

There's a profit to be made from our self-destruction!

Unfortunately, the fact that the powers are doing this while others are trying to save the planet pisses most of us off, myself included.

Discuss amongst yourselves:
When will we finally wipe ourselves off the face of the earth?
Do you think that we will be able to see our end coming?
That reminds me of a joke:

What's the last thing that goes through a bug's mind,
before it dies on a windscreen/windshield?
It's arse.
Get it?
