The meeting began with Odin, aka Zeus (depending on the preferred jurisdiction), giving a brief account of the problem.
Human beans consume more than they need. Then they shit. This produces greenhouse gas which overheats the planet. They also need to make more money to support their overindulgent lifestyles. So they generate financial bullshit, which overheats - and overhypes - their borrowings which they cannot repay.
End result? No more natural resources, no more money. Left to their own devices, they turn to age-old remedies. They pray for our divine intervention (see Arthur C Clarke, who suggested that a technologically advanced race would seem like gods to the primitive culture) in the temples which we, in moments of vanity, inspired them to build in the first place.
What, asked Odin, can we do? What should we do?
Athena, Odin's twin in wisdom, proposed that ANGELs not intervene with free markets and monism (the worship of money), which are men's own invention. In due time, lack of money would prevent humans from consuming the natural resources. Consequently, the eco-balance will be restored, global warming will be checked. Voila!
There being no better alternative, the ANGELs, treated like gods, unanimously resolved to stand by and do nothing at all.
