Not looking good for planet Earth

[gazdkw82]

why, were you once flat? .

Your post is a little difficult to fathom, but it almost sounds like your saying that because we were wrong about the earth being flat we are wrong about the effects of global warming.

This seems backed up by "the planet will look after itself"?

Or, you have an entirly different point in your post and it's just not come across very well.

what i meant was that the earth will adapt. back in the day, when it was flat, all the water in the oceans was about to fall off the edge, so the earth became spherical. it did go a bit wrong though because Australia ended up being upside down. it should have been in the north atlantic, but ocean currents drove it towards the land of ice, on route it knocked Gibralter off the south coast of Spain, creating a bone of contention starting with PhilipII sending his armada to try and steal Britain as compensation for losing Gib. Drake soon sent that lot scurrying back. . so there you have it.

You must be aware that we reside on a living planet with shifting tectonic plates that are not sealed. We have open fissures all over the planet that spew surphuric gases into the atmosphere every second of everyday since the earth was created.
Mankind may be living on and using its resources as was intended but to think that we have a greater impact than the earth itself is very narrow minded (blinkered).
The earth looks after itself, nitrogen in the soil to make things grow come from two sources Lightning flashes and tuberous plants decaying - don’t tell me that we are greater or even a threat to Gods wonderful creation.
You only have to see the 2004 and 2011 tsunamis (not our fault BTW) to understand how insignificant we are - that part of the earth gave itself a ‘mouthwash’ all over in an hour yet to us it was catastrophe.
We don’t even want to think about Yellowstone’s magma chamber!
Let’s be nicer to one another first, you’ll see greater change in those actions.

Don’t worry about the Earth it’ll look after itself pretty well, we’ve got bigger things to think about and it near enough all involves stupid people who can’t see past their noses.

The planet will look after itself I agree with you, there will be natural disasters to cull the humans in future years, look around to see what is happening most of Africa wants to be in Europe in the future it will cause conflict and war.

There was a report that we have at the best 100 years left of fertile soil to grow stuff, we need to invest in hydroponics. Future wars wars will be fought for water.

Some worrying comments for me.

You can't compare natural disasters to the damage being done by the use of fossil fuels. What you can say is natural disasters are on the increase due to rising temperatures.

We can't just say "the earth will look after itself" because all that does it promote an attitude of not caring or being concious of our actions

This post actually concerns me

Was you concern that land masses could re-combine, and we will wobble our selves out of existence?

I disagree, the earth will look after itself, we will just become extinct in the future just like the dinosaurs.

You disagree the earth will look after itself?

Or you disagree with me and you think the earth will look after itself?

That was mankind from Adam and Eve in the garden - the earth is old but created in 6 days - He rested on the 7th Job done!

On the 7th day he created Yorkshire.

He ran out of ideas....... like the back of an Electricians van that has gone down the hill backwards........ it ended up a mess.

On the 7th day he created Yorkshire.

yorkshire was the 1st attempt. after seeing what a mess it was, he then progressed with lancashire, finally creating the perfect city of liverpool.
