Think Bono is another one of similar ilk. i'm sure there are plenty; some more guilty than others.
In a sense I dont have a problem with it either monty because me and thee will be long gone but if you have kids/ grandkids we have tp make a fist of it for for their sake. Not read the Rovelli stuff but if its owt like the James lovelock stuff I have read its pretty scary. So much so I stopped reading it.Lovelock thinks we are doomed anyway.In a way, for me, its poetic justice. We could have been a brilliant species but we blew it through greed and self interest and not being able to get on. .If any aliens were to wander by in a few hundred years time they would shake there heads/ tentacles etc and say what a complete waste of an intelligent species that was.
