Australia was burnt into a desert.
Europe was deforested and the whales were nearly made extinct.
30-70 million Buffalo were slaughtered, largely by Native American's who had worshiped them for thousands of years and were suddenly all to happy, to wipe them out for trade with the white man.
A few of our many historic sins without mentioning any of the ongoing ones.
Humanity is hopeless!

remarkably depressing - seems like we're farther than ever from addressing climate change.
