I produce massive amounts of CO2 which promotes plant life. I would have expected the planet to be appreciative but I've yet to get a "thank you" from mother earth.

Only in our arrogance, do we feel we matter one way or the other.
I would suggest that you consider that in a mere geological blink we have gone from being one of "the beasts" to being capable of detecting and deflecting a comet that would otherwise cause another 95%+ global extinction.

We are also quite reasonably going to be able to colonize and perhaps even teraform other planets in a few thousand years.

Sure, we have a long way to go but lets not underestimate just how big our roll actually might be.

Conservation? Preservation? Genocide? Homicide? War? The last three are all direct and indirect forms of population control. Earth Day? LOL This thread has some funny posts in it by the way, LOL, like the one about drilling a hole in the Earth so it can fart. Ahahaahahaha! Oh yea! I thought of another thing we did for the planet! We developed space programs that make it possible to intercept meteors or asteroids, so the Earth doesn't get hit, we are protecting it. We also gave it useable horse and cow manure so that the Earth can do its thing and grow plants and crops.

So in the future we can kill & pollute other planets too! Oh goody!
