I agree with the idea of Ed that the human race acts like a plague. In fact, we behave like a virus, a leech or a parasite to this planet.
Can we stop behaving like a virus? Well, that's a hard question to answer. First of all, we better define what's a "virus behaviour". Altough a good definition was already given by Agent Smith, I'd like to add other feature of a virus: its growing is unsustainable, because its consume of resources is chaotic. Following this, the next question is: Can we live sustainably, in a way that the resources can be renewed as we consume them? I think this is a key question for minimizing our "virus behavior" and to not accelerate the global warming.
