Climate Change Causes Chain Reaction in Ecosystems

Wimp ass AR perps want "cruelty free" food. It is cruel to kill vegetables, and animals, no matter what you think. Things are in a natural order and to feed living things, other living things must die, sometimes with pain, hopefully brief.
The cruelest thing people have done is over-breed and take over the biosphere in destruction, depleting, polluting ways.
The number of support species we need is in the many thousands, in hundreds of ecological niches.
Depopulating humans and stopping AGW with a 90% drop in EVERYONE'S greenhouse gases, ASAP, is MUCH more important than being cruelty free. For that type of reduction cruelty is a necessity that is not wanted, but faced.

"the treatment of animals and the environment is better than it ever has been"

Wayne, the treatment of the environment, of which we are all a part, is abysmal. Animals are included, as we are all.
How to respond to such a statement?

"..... but the cumulative effect of abuse of the environment over the history of mankind is still a threat?"

Yes, of course it is. it was and continues to be as long as our consciousness does not shift. Do you not feel the danger?

So, the treatment of animals and the environment is better than it ever has been, but the cumulative effect of abuse of the environment over the history of mankind is still a threat?

I'm still trying to figure this one out. I emphatically stated my observation and I think my observation is quite accurate ... that we have NEVER, in human history, treated animals the way we do now. And your response is that we have never treated animals and our environment better than ever? Really?
