Species have been coming and going since the beginning of time. To attempt to alter that flow is really an attempt to disrupt nature.

To an extent I agree.

I don’t want to see us lose more species, but as you say, it
is the natural course of things.

As man increases here on Earth though, it’s will put more
impact on nature.

I would like to see us find a way to live off world. At
some point we’ll need to. I don’t want to go crazy over
it, but moving in that direction is probably a good idea.

People have thought we were overtaxing our environment
for over a century. They didn’t think we could support
the number of people we have today.

We’ve got a long way to go before mass starvation, if we
manage things reasonably.

I do not mean how a Leftist would manage things. I mean
reasonably through a robust Capitalist society.

Species have been coming and going for all time. The human species has had several iterations. No one seems to bemoan the Neanderthals passing when many of us carry Neanderthal genes. Many of us are hybrid species humans.

DING DING DING! We have a winner!

Now all you have to do is to tell the idiots who produced this rubbish.

YUP; and it’s going to continue regardless of what mankind does.

The Spotted Owl is one of the best examples I can think of, poor forest management practices have caused millions of acres of spotted Owl habitat to go up in flames here in my state (just finished burning over 200 thousand acres around my home here).

Those acres of habitat that haven’t burned yet will probably burn next fire season, the habitat that doesn’t burn is being taken over by the Barred Owl.

The Barred Owl is the primary competitor of the Spotted Owl and is pushing the Spotted Owl out of it’s territory (that territory is getting smaller because of piss poor forest management) and into the EXTINCTION CATAGORY.

It’s got nothing to do with logging in the Pacific Northwestern forests; a lot to do with REALLY BAD FOREST MANAGEMENT (Enviro Nazis) and a competitive species that is just a whole lot better at survival.
