Influence, sure. "Repair", hubris. A cry for a static world that never was and never will be. Reminds me of the doomsayers that claim humans will "destroy" the earth :D Mind you, mine is not a call to "do nothing". On the contrary, I say there's no reason to be terrified and in despair (unless you really consider the heat death of the universe as the final outcome). There's lots we can do until then -- it's an awesome ride! Humans are fabulously ingenious, and life fabulously resilient.
