I think you are both right Jostein and John. Mother earth as the planet will most likely survive. But that won't do us any god. If we let all the Cottmobiles loose (God forbid letting the man himself loose) she will change. There are a lot of signs that she is changing right now. Into something beyond our existence.

I think you underestimate mother nature. The entire earth stockpile of nuclear weapons looks insignificant when compared to the energy in the storms of a major hurricane season. And the secondary effects (dust in the atmosphere, etc.) pale besides the contributions of a massive volcanic eruption. Then, of course, there's a massive meteor strike like the one that is currently believed to have hastened the end of the dinosaurs; that's thousands of times more devastating than anything we can do. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
