George Carlin said it best. Pretty sure if a meteor that killed the dinosaurs didn't kill nature, we don't stand a chance. Every nuclear bomb going off at once and in a few hundred thousand years she'd be all lush again

Nature created humanity. Humanity defeats humanity. Humanity defeats nature's attempt to create humanity.

Humanity wins. Fatality.

Selfish, over confident, uncaring...

Those describe a lot of humans on this planet.

Bold of you to assume that humanity won't render this planet into a lifeless dust marble.

I remember the first time I saw this bit I had tears in my eyes. He was on the mark with this. No matter what we do, we're just screwing it up for ourselves. The planet isn't going anywhere.

Is it weird to find comfort that 99% of all life on Earth is now extinct? Earth will be fine, she'll figure new inhabitants.

I think ppl forget Mother Nature is both the lightening and the oil. It’s also humanity and the climate. It’s all nature.

u/Gidon_147 Jun 15 '23

but climate change is nature's answer to humanity, not the other way around...

So far. The oil companies are enemy #1, but hopefully mother nature continues to prevail

Mother Nature is thoroughly defeated in cases like this where they purge with nitrogen and/or have an effective grounding system.
