Well we make a lot of long lived chemicals that are toxic to complex life, then spray/spill/dump/burn them all over. I'd say humanity is sort of undertaking the project of making the first few feet of earth's crust into a superfund site. Convenient because it suggests a subsequent massive heroic project to somehow clean it all up later this century which is the kind of tragic futile project we fall in love with as a species.
