    I watch David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet last night.  First of all, it made me cry when I saw the deforestation that has happened in David's life time.  Secondly, I was struck by the statement that the planet will survive, but humans won't.  How ironic would that be that we have caused our own extinction.
