Re: $20 trillion shale oil find surrounding Coober Pedy 'can fuel Australia'
 

I think it is wrong to say mankind has always prevailed in the past, in fact humans seem to just stumble along destroying everything they touch and are seemingly largely oblivious to the long term consequences. The Amazon which is probably the most important region in the world is being destroyed at an alarming rate with no significant improvement in sight. With most things I am anything but a doomsayer but on this I am not overly optimistic about this.
