The post you are reporting:
Just to put this into perspective, when Yellowstone decides to eventually blow, and it will one day, all the human pollution in all of history will not matter one jot. That event will have a devastating effect on the world, far worse than anything human enterprises can do with all its dirty industry. And what's more, it is NOT affected by the environment or human activity one bit. It is a natural hotspot destined to become a super-volcano which will impact far beyond its location.
Then there's the forthcoming collapse of the Canary Islands. This is a natural phenomenon which we humans can do nothing about. When it eventually happens (and it will), the UK will be swallowed up and left underwater. This event is NOT affected by any human activity. It's just nature doing her thing.
Oh, and the last one is more theoretical and may or may not happen, but scientists do believe that one day (maybe not for a long time yet), a comet will strike earth and cause a major extinction event. It's happened before, it can happen again.
When you look at the REAL threats to the planet, the damage that humans do seems somewhat lame in comparison.
I think a more realistic approach would be to simply prepare for global warming rather than waste time trying to prevent it (which I don't believe is possible). Suppressing industrial output simply won't make a dot of difference to any of it.
