The rivers turn red

It seems almost biblical to hear that rivers would run red.

River turns blood red overnight

However, what is truly horrifying is that we as a species have reached a point in our development where we can impact the world around us to such a terrifying and detrimental degree.  How long can we continue in such a state before we tip the delicate equilibrium that exists in nature beyond a point that can be recovered from?

I once read that a society thrives when old men plant trees the shade of which they will never experience. Our society seems content with doing the opposite and robbing the future of any assets they should have had.
