Essentially science, invention and discovery has led to humans destroying the planet via over production of noxious gases, solids and liquids, over population, ability to mine for fossil fuels, and so on.
Not knowing much but I naively believe science is also the solution, for example could nanotechnology repair the ozone layer, could they dismantle harmful gases and liquids before they are released into the environment, couldn't all power be generated by solar, wind and wave energy, couldn't GM food be used in certain environments to benefit the starving (dangerous ground there i know) and so on again. If we only invested in the solutions now rather than keep trying to reverse our way out of a situation that is probably beyond repair (it pains me to say so but it appears Kyoto has had no affect globally). Not that we shouldn't stop the causes of environmental damage to prevent coming out of the current ice age too rapidly!
