I didn't say I'm not worried, I just think it's counterproductive to promote environmentalism in emotional ways. If people think of nearly everything we do as bad, they'll make decisions based on good intentions instead of rational analysis. I don't understand your analogy. Programs are human constructs. The Earth is a chaotic system, with or without us. Do you have any evidence for our infrastructure being a ponzi scheme? (I think it would be hard to find, given that this same infrastructure will probably soon give us fusion power). FYI: deserts are defined by the amount of rainfall they receive, not by whether they have plants or not.
