RE: Our Nest, The Earth - Freewrite Day 584 Entry & SBI Giveaway - Prompt: Nest
Well, earth seem to pretty good in dealing with those mass extinctions, after all, we're already doing the 6th one ;)
I don't want to downplay the fact of how ruthless this teenage humankind is treating the world it's living in, but everything has it's place in the universe and I do believe that it will be a worthwhile lesson for future generations.
I doubt we'll be able to kill ourselves off entirely, we'll probably survive in misery and small numbers without the ability to cause anymore significant harm.
But I also think we as humans suffer from visions of grandeur, incredibly overestimating our own role and influence in things.
Haha I mean, sure, the earth itself does fine, but species loss is pretty insane. Especially if the planet's climate gets shifted to more of a hothouse planet. Runaway climate change may make that happen.
I guess it may be a good lesson. I hope people will be around to learn it.
That may be true. It's just sad because it is wildly unnecessary and avoidable, if there is concerted global effort.
I don't know about that. There are micro plastics that have been found in fish in the deepest abysses of the oceans, and everywhere on the planet you can find pollution in the air. So we are definitely having a global impact.
