For climbing prolly the climate change. Ice and moutain stuff will be pretty dangerous and maybe not even form alot of the years.
For rock stuff, the seasons will be different, and some of the desert stuff may not see hard routes done because the temp is never low enough. Then everyboy tries to go where conditions are good, and trample all over the alpine and destroy it.
As a person though concerned about a point of no return on the warming. But maybe there is a mass die off before from disease ro crop failing or war over what is left of the food or water.

Catastrophic climate change, and the inability to do much about it, largely because of the power
that corporate interests wield over the vast majority.

Stupidity and ballessness.
In the end we all die.. So sorta I don't worry much about it.. Only sad thing is we don't all die together so.. due to stupidity and ballessness lots more will have to cry about it than are at all necessary.
The planet itself? the environment itself?.. will carry on.

Donini: I think the "problem" would be solved quicker if everyone wiped with their right, and ate with their right!

"Toilet paper.
Growing up in North Idaho I saw great forests mowed down just to wipe our asses."
Well, the wankers are trying to recycle it...they wipe their arses, then leave it scattered around the wilderness...

I'm relieved. When I read this thread title I thought the OP was saying that climbers are the Number One Environmental Concern, rather than asking what we saw as the biggest concern.
After reading the 39 preceding posts, I think Jean Paul Sartre got it right in Huit Clos:
L'enfer c'est les autres.

Yes, we have met the enemy and he is us.
That said, it still bugs me when otherwise ethical friends eat non-sustainable sushi only to use the excuse that because they don't have kids they are not part of the problem.

They aren't making new mountains anymore. At least not fast enough.

My main environmental concern is for us parents' children. The hypocrisy of parents' children complaining about other parents' children - that's just part of who we human parents' children are. The rest of the environment is number two on my list.
