Thirty years ago, Louie Psihoyos watched as two young children were killed a few steps in front of him. On a blue-sky day near a market in Perkiomen, Pennsylvania, he noticed a family walking hand-in-hand beside the road ahead. A large van swept past and he saw that one of its giant wing mirrors would hit one of the children as it tore past. Psihoyos shouted, but it was too little too late. Both children were dragged beneath the van's wheels and crushed.
"They died right in front of me," says the 58-year-old, Oscar-winning filmmaker, his moss-green eyes stretching in incredulity.
"I have had to live with the idea that I didn't scream loud enough. I didn't do enough. I could have changed that family's life. Because I was too weak, I didn't do enough that day and I've had to live with it. I don't want to live with the idea I'm not doing enough now."
It's an arresting story, one that drove him to spend five years making his new documentary, Racing Extinction. In it, Psihoyos and scientists explain how man's impact on the Earth is driving a new mass extinction, killing species at 1,000 times the background rate (the normal rate of extinction throughout the Earth's history), and that within 100 years half of the world's species will be extinct.

It's your pathology, not ours, pal.
If he really believes that humans are a catastrophe for the earth, why should he feel any guilt over the deaths of those two children? He should be feeling joy that they died before they could be become adult catastrophes.
Better still, let him lead by example in eliminating at least one human catastrophe.
His name is Psychos ?
'We were great for a certain amount of time, but it was hard to not get support when you spend your whole life, and every molecule in your body, trying to do this work. She wasn't supportive, she was still eating meat. That killed me.'
What a putz.
You have to live with the fact that you were screaming at the wrong ones.
Humans are as much a part of nature as tree frogs or algae. If humans are doing it, it is natural.
Why don’t these self-loathing crybabies just kill themselves. By their account, the Erf will benefit and it will certainly make life better for those of us who understand that without a sentient species, the planet is just a place where animals eat, poop, screw, and die. There is no point to it existing at all without a species that can utilize the resources in a cunning and inventive way.
Humans aren’t a blight on Erf. We are the thing that gives it purpose.
If only.
He’s worried that chickens might go extinct?
That's is the nub of it. Leftists are the closest thing to "human catastrophes", in direct proportion to how much influence and power they can grab. And this guy wants to make movies.
If there were no humans would the earth still exist? Or does it exist only because we think it does.
“I’m shouting a warning as loud as I can - Humans are a catastrophe for the Earth”
“I’m shouting a warning as loud as I can - SUN/Stars are a catastrophe for all the Earth type planets”
I noticed that too. I'm working on a theory that some people can be born sane but literally drive themselves to psychosis, like this nut, by obeying all the rules and tenets of left-liberalism.

These environ-weenies capitalize on promoting fear. If these yahoos wanted to do something about the consequences of CO2, they would be creating products to combat it. Instead they are trolling for government grants and the benefits of wealth redistribution.
There is no such thing as "a catastrophe" for the earth.
Human beings - for the materialist - are simply natural productions of the earth, and what they do is simply act on natural impulses.
Besides the fact that Psihoyos is a vile individual, besides the fact that he has no authority to speak for "the earth" or to dictate terms to human beings, his position is absolutely ridiculous and self-contradictory.
...humans are a catastrophe for the earth...
Another “God doesn’t know what he’s doing” expert.
Every time I see a promo for this show I want to shoot my TV. The HUBRIS of man. The last one said that we are the last generation to save planet Earth. It’s pathological, but not unexpected when you take God out of the equation.
