Or that it hasn't been debated enough. Sure, it may be difficult to "pull an Alderaan", so to speak, but we can (and do) fuck it up pretty good. I'm bummed, on a regular basis, about light pollution, for instance. Probably not the most concerning kind of pollution, but, anyways... The timing between some insects reproduction cycles, and bird migration, as an example, is like, (according to some nature show) three days or something? It's all a delicate (sorta) cycle and whatnot, and we are changing it. I wrapped the "sorta" in half-circles because the balance is self-organizing too, so pretty resilient. Which, hell yeah, is cool, but we really don't know the extent of our impact, and doing what we're doing seems pretty reckless. But to stand there and bald-face say "it couldn't be *us*!" is pretty ballsy. > Yes but the question is can man change or control Mother Nature? Not > that we know of so far. For this theory to be true it has to be yes. Oh, I agree, sure. Big Planet, little people. The Logic is Obvious! Is the Mississippi just "naturally" doing itself in, or what? Oh, I see, there is of course a "re-action" (for every action) but our actions are tiny, and thus, the reaction is tiny (using some more Super Logic here). Wait- the scale thing is bothering me. If we're "little" and the reaction is "tiny" -- Holey metal, bat-man! That's a recipe for two same-sorta-sized things! Who cares that the planet might itself still be around after we've destroyed ourselves? (I would care; but I hate to mess up, like, camp-sites, or "Mother Nature", so.)
