Do you think Mother Nature consults the Endangered Species list when wreaking havoc on an area? I wonder how many endangered plants and animals she has killed in disasters... or do you think she cares enough to protect them when killing the plants and animals in abundance? :~D

It's just self-ignorance on our part. Humans are so full of themselves. Trying to save everything that lives.. Trying to convince ourselves and prove that we are the ones causing global warming. No, we are not. Oh, and to be clear, a large number of species go extinct every single day without any human interference.

I completely agree. The more we interfere, the worse things get. What if there was "supposed" to be a die-off of one species to open up room in that ecological niche for a species that would evolve to eat all of our garbage and poop oil? As unlikely as it sounds, there are bacteria who do that, and if a larger animal/more species who do the same thing would pretty much save us/the planet. But for some reason, there are a lot of people who think they can predict the future and know exactly how the earth "should be"

If these people who do things like try to save minnows when there's a drought by scooping them up and taking them to another area, knew anything or cared anything about nature, they'd leave it alone. The more they interfere, the worse things get. People make horrible gods.
If Mother Nature were truly an entity, she would have the right to destroy humanity for the crimes we've committed against her, and I'm NOT talking about harvesting forests or climate change.

You think so? I'm not so sure. Just look at the human population, crawling like ants all over her! 
Seriously, when we look at it from an individual viewpoint, nature seems pretty harsh, but if we stand back and look at the whole picture, including history, nature has been rather tolerant of our ignorant ways.

She fills the air with pollution with belches from volcanoes. She spreads sea life all over cities with hurricanes. She kills and injured animals without remorse with tornadoes. She creates harmful chemicals and doesn't give a crap what forms of life are exposed to them.
Almost all diseases that inflict animals, plants and humans are of her design. She creates murderous heatwaves and subzero conditions.
She marks entire species for extinction.. how genocidal is that!! :~D

I think she's been a lot harder on us we've ever been on her. ;~)

I don't think we should go out of our way to destroy animal habitats but should also be reasonable. Animals have been going extinct from the beginning of time. The earth is continually changing and not just because of humanity. Other wise we would still have Tyrannosaurus Rex still running around.

But Mother Nature doesn't seem to mind going out of her way to destroy habitat. ;~D

I think alot of "thinking" people realize that some species have to go away to make room for new species. This is the circle of life. This holds true with eating living creatures. This is what they are there for. Animals survive on smaller animals, and we survive on them. Pretty simple when you get the liberal fog cleared...

I wonder if anyone considered the possibility that part of our existence is SUPPOSED to involve the annihilation of other creatures. Historically that's how nature works. Predators become extinct when a more efficient predator evolves. The same goes for prey. That's why we don't have land sloths, sabretoothed tigers, marsupial lions, and any number of inferior creatures that became extinct. For some reason people are obsessed with controlling the entire ecosystem.

Yeah, I've always wondered why people think that it's our job to mess with nature, but then complain when we do. ;~D

In the natural order of things, species adapt, change or die. Those that die are too "weak" to survive and Nature takes these things into account. It's how the world is balanced and kept in harmony.
Men thinking that they have control over the earth is conceit, plain and simple. Mankind is so convinced of their own self importance that they think they are the masters of the earth. Pride goeth before the fall.

It's not nice to fool mother nature! We had (may still have) a ban on feeding Canadian geese here because it was found that they weren't going back in the spring because they were fat and happy here. Stuff like this, yes we need to fix, but the idea we can change the course of a species is plain silly.

some disasters our man made like flood, and some our natural like acid rain in forests. Disasters is also a way of mother nature to balance nature, to lessen the predators so that preys can roam around a little bit more and reproduce, some extinctions are man's fault and some are not, everything we do to nature and living things cannot be altered.
