Extinction

In case you have become unaware, the movement to prevent extinction is alive and well. You should be devoted to saving the cross-eyed tsetse fly or some other something. About the only thing that isn’t causing concern is the cockroach.

When you hear all the cries about global warming or climate change, and how you should be ashamed for contributing the extinction of some creature or even mankind, stop and think for a moment. Since this planet has been around, there have been a lot of species that are not here now. The obvious is dinosaurs. Did man cause them to disappear? The way nature works is simple, only the strong survive. And, in nature, creatures adapt or die out.

This is not to say that we shouldn’t be aware of and find ways to eliminate pollution, but to suggest that we are destroying the planet is hard to believe. Who’s fault was the ice age. I don’t think there were nine billion humans running around polluting the atmosphere then. And what about the entire planet being under water?

A little research will reveal that this little green dot in the great universe has had it’s share of changes. Think about events like the "dust bowl" of the 1930s. Or, how about floods, tornadoes, wild fires that start by lightening, or other such events.

If climate change is caused by humans, the only solution is to get rid of humans. Kill off a few billion here and a few billion there.

The cockroaches and fire ants will be delighted.

Nothing kills them.
