Increasing quantity of human activity creates qualitatively new conditions. All systems develop from crisis to crisis, each time being forced to undergo qualitative transformation to overcome another crisis or perish otherwise (i.e. exploit the current state as much as possible, hit the crisis resulting from the over-exploitation, explore for a new state, get into it if successful, exploit...). Human civilization has become a planet scale factor while lacking planet scale means to manage its impact - that is a classic dialectical quantity vs. quality mismatch leading to a crisis which if not proactively "soft landed" will settle on its own through a catastrophic style readjustment. And if to look as an outside observer - there is some logic to it as giving that humans are on the edge of becoming a space faring civilization the humans are either to deal with the climate change on their own planet or shouldn't be able to move to the next levels of energy/technology, handling other star systems and civilizations.
