But we don't know if we use up more than gets replenished
on the short run. The long run may be after we all had our
melanomas and then nature will eventualy fix the problem
again.

Species have gone extinct for less environmental intrusion
than we have created. Maybe our number is up this time

It's a bit like a frog in a cooking vessel with the fire turned
up under it. At what temp. does he decide to jump out
of the vessel? After all, first the water is nice balmy warm.
But eventually it gets a bit hot, he get doubts about staying
there, but by the time he's reached his decision to jump, he
is already half cooked and is unabe to jump.

meanwhile froggy scientist keep on debating the issues............
