World's Most Dangerous Creature: Homo sapiens

One would think the disarming image of a young girl has little to do with dangerous creatures, but alas it isn't so. Humans, more so than any other species, have the potential to devastate this planet.

The question: is our species indeed conducting an unsustainable existence? Bjorn Lomborg's "Skeptical Environmentalist" appeared at first to have thrown serious doubt on the matter. Later, an army of enraged scientists proceeded to open a can of whoop ass in retaliation. It's still very much an open question though.

Perhaps one day, the ideal solution might be a macro-scale planetary budget for our species. In the best of worlds, we'd have a good understanding of how much we can consume, and coordinate our global consumption to ensure we never run an annual defecit. Just as one monitors one's household budget to avoid personal bankruptcy, people should keep tabs on their overall planetary budget.
