Excellent post sir!
I wholeheartedly agree. The limited experience I had with ecology in college as well as geology was enough for me to know when this crap began to become mainstream that it couldn’t possibly be on the up and up. One volcanic eruption spews more “greenhouse” gas than all of our combined emissions since the dawn of humanity.

I’ve heard the doom and gloom from over population to ozone depletion to soil errosion and these theories are constantly updated and debunked once legitimate scientific review is applied. Mankind just isn’t powerful enough to destroy the planet, I’m not even convinced that a global nuclear war would kill us off or effect nature for more than a couple of decades.

Thanks for the compliment!

I’m not even convinced that a global nuclear war would kill us off or effect nature for more than a couple of decades.

The amusing thing is that even if it affected nature for the next quarter of a million years -- or even a million years -- it would still be but a very brief moment in the context of the geologic timeline. And if homo sapiens becomes extinct, we will only be joining about a hundred million other extinct species that existed at one time or another on this planet.
