Smog
I have never been much of an environmentalist. It's not because I don't care. I just see pollution as the natural evolution of things. Global warming and cooling are natural phenomenons; humans just sped up the process. Extinction is natural. Life begins and ends with a big bang; this is our big bang.
Besides have you ever really looked at a city nestled in a bit of smog? On an exceptionally clear day, you have a pale blue sky bordering the brown haze settled over the city, and it's actually beautiful. It's like an aged photograph or a typical polaroid.
As you zoom in, kids are playing in the city streets and they're breathing all that brown in and they're growing up and surviving and having children who breathe more brown in. And THAT is amazing, that is beautiful, that we can survive breathing all this dirty brown air.
My point is, I guess... humans can't always play God. This is what caused the problem in the first place. We have to accept ourselves as the viruses that we are and move on; let Nature take its course. You can't reverse what is happening. We were doomed ever since we started walking upright.
