Stephen Hawking’s Beliefs

I wonder if environmental collapse, including climate change, could be considered “human aggression.”

That may sound like a silly idea, but consider for a moment that as you’re reading this, many of the world’s most powerful people are making conscious decisions to enrich themselves even further by embracing a business strategy that calls for extracting and combusting fossil fuels in perpetuity, driving up global temperatures.

I’m sure that by the word “aggression,” Hawking was referring to nuclear weaponry, but a baking planet may be just as effective in wiping out huge swaths of the world population, via starvation, disease, loss of land mass, etc.
