World Wide nature kills more people every year than anything else, from Mosquitoes to the cold people die because it's what mother nature does, she takes no prisoners. Given enough time she will also erase you and deny your ancestors any evidence of your existence.
Exactly, do we really belong here?
The large population today is because we have had to learn to adapt to the harsh environment
Eventually, it will all break down,
This is the dichotomy I allude to so often when I ask what a person's belief system is.
If you think God put us here we belong just like anything else we are indeed part of nature.
If you think we evolved from a single cell up to the point of being human being then more than ever we are a part of nature and belong here.
So in my mind and answering your question, hell yes we belong here. It isn't like we can show up and say "Hey I don't belong here and leave." There is no where to go not yet anyway, and I am sorry young lady neither of us will see the day we can go off planet.
Of course we adapted to the planet as any other animal adapted, a deer can stand in a clump of trees and remain almost invisible from his coloring. There is a reason a Polar Bear is white. We have to adapt or Mother Nature will kill us showing no mercy. Somewhere along the line we learned how to make fire, keeping us warm and cooking food. As a species on this planet I would say we have adapted better than any other animal so much so I don't think we evolved from a single cell, we had help and this is where the real question comes into play. Where did we get the help to far outpace adaptation from any other animal.
I don't think it will ever break down, not in my day for sure. I think it's the thought of an arrogant man that thinks he is capable of destroying our planet. Seeking to make these claims based on a hidden desire to change or acquire something. The earth has been around for millions of years and I don't expect it to disappear anytime soon, just because pandering liberal politicians and environmentalist says so. I would think worst case scenario would be damaging the environment to the point we kill ourselves off by the thousands while we wait for mother nature to heal herself from the damage we created. Look at the changes she has undergone that we know of, the world was covered with water, the deserts in the middle east were once lush forest, and none of this was because of man. My species is no longer living in a cave per se but a two story house with no need to rub sticks together to make fire.
Years ago, I had a friend who is no longer among the living who used to say "in the end, the Wild will win" - and so far he has not been proven wrong.
Absolutely, and even the pollution will be absorbed back into the planet,
Absolutely, because, after all, what IS pollution, really? It's just bits of the planet taken out and recombined into new kinds of bits of the planet. That will all eventually be broken down and reabsorbed by nature. These photos are living proof of the concept - literally LIVING proof.
Precisely. That has been my argument for some time now in the "global warming/climate change" debates. Adaptation. Adapt or die.
It does not matter if the climate is changing, or what caused it. It has changed before, and will change again, with or without humans. If anything, a warming is just the Earth returning to the normal equilibrium it has sustained for most of it's history. We are in a cold period now, what appears to be the tail end of yet another ice age. Normally, the Earth has been much warmer than it is now, and has had far more CO2 in the atmosphere than is the current level. Usually FAR far more.
Humans, like all other species throughout time, will adapt, or they will die. Instead, stupid human politicians think they can force the planet to adapt to THEM. They are wrong. They will lose, and lose big with that type of thinking. Mother Nature will win, hands down and every time.
Because "in the end, the wild will win".
Humans are here now only because they adapted to a changing climate a couple million years ago. If they cannot continue to adapt, they will not be here long.

I've been meaning to ask you about the great Wall of China - which way are the crenelations on the parapet, the "high" side of the wall with the notches, facing? Are they facing north towards Mongolia, or south towards China?
To be Honest, I was never taught this, I know the wall was built to keep the horse's of the Mongol's and the Wall faced North and expanded north to south.
That's what I was taught, too, but I've heard recently that the crenelatons are on the south side of the wall, which would tell a different story. Probably just someone trying to blow smoke up someone else's ass.
