The Prophet

"Uh, I am convinced that the prophets of doom have got to be taken seriously. In other words, doomsday is a possibility. I'm equally convinced that doomsday is not inevitable. It’s become apparent that today man's own activities have reached the scale where they are the principal determiners of his own future. For example, we are now today effecting more changes in the composition of the atmosphere, in the composition of the waters of the world, and even the composition of certain species in our food chain, we're making more changes in one generation than have been made in millions of years of evolution. We don’t know exactly what will be the impact of the changes, but we do know that many of them are irreversible, and many of them could be decisive in their effects on man's future."
