We make mistakes and if we are lucky we understand what we have done and get to learn from it. There is no manual for us to follow with operating instructions for the Earth, we learn as we go along as long as people can remember what happened and apply some analysis.
Main problem is we keep making the same or very similar mistakes because the result of one of our massive informal experiments is so disturbing we don't have any foundation to draw conclusions from.

Yet another historical lesson about how human vanity makes them believe that they are greater than Nature.
