Shocking truths- mans impacts on nature

[skyhuck]

dont know what your laughing at really, what i said was MANS impact on biodiversity, in other words simplified the earth is warming, there is no threat to biodiversity from an ice age (laughter irrelevant) but man is going to see nothing left but land maggots and farmed fish.

 

You are saying an ice age would not affect biodiversity??????

Forgetting the Global warming argument it does seem that this could have been easily prevented with a simple capping device, or even a marker designed to allow a successful nesting. But who would have thought about that before hand...

of course it would, but it would not be at the hands of man would it?

 

really, sometimes I think your just being awkward!

Tony I'm sorry if you think I'm being awkward, it really was not my intent.

 

The point I was trying to make (but clearly failed) was that we always look at the negative affect man is having on the planet, but I heard a very compelling argument that man has been warming the planet for around 10K years, it started with the methane realised form the first paddy fields and the C02 for the clearance burning by the very first farmers.

 

This warming has prevented an ice age that would no doubt of wiped out many species.

 

So while I agree that we are responsible for tremendous harm and that a little effort would reduce the harm we do, there is a chance that mans overall impact on the planet may not be all bad.

I sometimes can't believe what we as a race (humans) do. I do have strong views on our impact on this planet but will get lynched probably for expressing them on a forum. Will keep it for the work ute!! :thumbdown:
