I think I'm beginning to understand.

It is a big world out there. The oceans are huge, and deep. The atmosphere goes up for miles and circulates. There are many cubic miles of air and water, and lots of square miles of trees and jungle.

Man is a small factor in a world which has always worked well, has always adjusted to changes, has always varied. Change is normal, species come and go, it gets warm, and cold. There was an Ice Age, now there isn't, there once was no Grand Canyon, now there is. It changes.

Since the solution to pollution is dilution, this is such a big world something as insignificant as Man can't have any affect.

Is that it? I think I'm beginning to understand.
