Earth’s hottest month: these charts show what happened in July; what comes next

Every species tries to maximize its use of available resources. Humans are the only ones that even think about the consequences (emphasis on think, actually doing something is more rare).

I think we will continue to live as we do until we cannot. Then there will be a natural correction. It will probably be ugly for a while, then we will adapt. This is the history of the planet.

Do you think humans use oil, soil etc as efficiently as ants do?

Or do you mean "consumption" when you say "use"? The way you put it sounds like you mean

  use ~= utility

Claiming that our "bad conscience" does any good (speaking and writing, to be precise), increasingly proves wrong.

There are just so many speakers and writers and thinkers with their own side of the prisoner's dilemma in mind

I mean "exploit everything available to maximize one's chance for survival"
