Actually, the ant Lions, eastern Tiger(s) swallowtail and Slugs may be
in a better position than we are. Apparently, we have already overdrawn
our sustainability account.
"More and more data are indicating that humans are not living within the
carrying capacity of the planet. The Ecological footprint measures human
consumption in terms of the biologically productive land needed to
provide the resources, and absorb the wastes of the average global
citizen. In 2008 it required 2.7 global hectares per person, 30% more
than the natural biological capacity of 2.1 global hectares (assuming no
provision for other organisms)."

So, we need 2.7 hectares (6.67 acres)/person and we only got 2.1
hectares (5.19 acres)/person, and that's assuming that none is alloted
to other animals. Oh, and 2.1 billion more people will join up by 2050.
I'd say that we need some leadership from our dithering elected leaders,
and could you turn the fan the other direction?
