As Bill Bryson pointed out that if we looked a an atlas of the earth, all
life as we know it would exist in the layer of varnish that was applied t
give it a durable shine. Human cannot ruin the whole planet we are
nothing in relative size and are basically the level of microbes on the
skin.

It really is that scale .
Ah hang on, Lawrence. Are you saying...we are only doing what we say on the
tin? I feel soooo...Ronseal!

(p.s. I am not sponsored or paid by said company however if they wish to
offer me enticement.......well.....)

On a more serious note, and in relation to your comment above on re atlas
view of earth, I did like Bryson's first book? ;-p
