In Gaian terms, a reasonable measure to protect our planet could be that of
stripping it of an atmosphere and of liquid water. Yes, this makes for
additional radiations and meteorite craters, but our moon show how
"cleaner" a planetary body is without this pollution-prone components...

Should we feel "guilty" about grizzly possible extinction? Probably not.

But I simply enjoy the idea of having enough resources to waste that I can
afford keeping grizzlies around, for the sake of it, on the same basis that
I would happily resurrect dinosaurs, Jurassic Park-style, even though no
plausible sense of guilt is involved in their extinction.
