To be clear, I'm disputing your assertion that women are second class citizens. Women have it better in America now than men do. And also, life will survive anything humanity does. The question is: How much death will occur in between, both numerically, and how many species die out? I am a big fan of Deep Ecology and radically changing how we live on the planet. I just don't think that using any government coercion, or outsourcing pollution to China to produce solar panels, or attempting to mess with the Earth for allegedly "good/righteous/'scientific'" purposes like massive geo-engineering, should be the answer. Voluntary relationships and organizations should be the focus and answer.
