You do realize that there were no humans when the dinosaurs roamed, right?

downplaying the Amazon basin deforestation, etc. We definitely should take
care in our treatment of the environment, but to presume that we're the one
big "problem" is a bit ignorant.

I don't think any other species in the history of the Earth has been
responsible, directly or indirectly, of so much damage to ecosystems and thus
of the extinction of species, both plant and animal.
