"Either we get our numbers and our activities in harmony with the powers of the earth to support life or, collapsing ecosystems will do the job for us."
MEANS: We have to regulate our lifestyles to live in harmony with nature because we are part of nature.
Nature has the first and last word.
Life forms come and go over the millennia. Some die out as others are born or evolved through natural selection. The most successful live. Those that can adapt to changing conditions. Others become extinct.
It means we have to drastically reduce our burning of finite fossil fuels to cut back on GHG emissions. Oil is too valuable to burn and must be used for 101 other purposes.
It means living like the Christ of the Gospels - living simply so that others may simply live; future generations and the poor, now.
