[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2644402, member: 3099"] I know right? Gotta love it. lol Rod Snell, thank you for your post. I've long held the "cliff notes take away" of your work. That is that we just don't matter on any measurable scale. Sure we can have a short term localized effect but the planet really doesn't even know we are here in reality. It has it's own "maintenance mechanisms" and we sure can't aid or deter them. One of many is the BP well blowout in the Gulf. They were screaming that the gulf would just literally die and today you can't even tell it ever happened. What happened to all that oil? The planet dealt with it, it's a naturally produced substance and it is native on this rock. I love to tell my liberal tree hugging family members the we could exterminate ourselves and virtually every mammal on the planet with a nuclear armageddon type event. Then in a few years the earth would just go back to doing what it does. And climate change would still exist but it wouldn't be man caused! They really don't like hearing that because they can't refute it. These two individuals have their PhDs from UC Berkley and are currently studying various evolution processes in avian and marine animals in Australia. It's great fun messing with those two! [/QUOTE]
