That is how I think too, Susan.
The planet and nature will sort it eventually.
I used to have an idea that if we 'created' a new species of something, and after making sure they were self sufficient, we stepped back, left them to their own devices and just kept an eye on them from a distance to see how our invention worked out.
They did extremely well. They had clever brains and were survivors.
However, once they worked out how to reproduce themselves, over time things began getting out of hand.
Food and water slowly become either polluted or scarce, and many of the males they started fighting for supremecy between themselves. We saw how they became more and more greedy and wanted to own more than their share.
Now if we didn't care about them anymore, we might just leave them to get on with it, let nature takes it's course. But if we
did care, we would eventually have to step in and do something.
The first sensible thing to do would be to 'thin them out.'
We might make food and sustenance in shorter supply.
We could pollute their drinking water.
We could let the natural world help out with earthquakes, floods, and fires.
We could press a button and detonate dormant volcanoes.
Or if that was still not enough, perhaps we would send in new diseases to trouble them.
But they were more inventive that we thought, and they still managed to keep breeding . . . perhaps we need more water pollution to curb male fertility.
Eventually, we might be forced into considering a major wipe out - everything must go. Then we could rest the planet for thousands of years to cleanse and repair, and one day in the distant future, perhaps start again - who knows.
OK, so you think I'm bonkers, but I don't care.
Maybe other planets which our scientists say could not possibly support any life, are going through their cleansing period too?
Maybe they are 'dormant' for a reason, and we will take our turn to do the same if we continue wrecking what we were given.
People lost all respect for nature and humans became ultra greedy. It is taught from parent to child, each generation become more greedy then the previous one.
All these things are really happening and it's for a reason . . .
