    An asteroid hit the earth and blanketed it in ash for ten thousand years, a force many times bigger than all the nukes humanity could ever hope to build, and life still thrived eons later. The Earth and nature doesn’t need saving, we need saving.

    Don’t forget that we’re still apart of the ecosystem and “nature” and subject to every single one of its laws, including the biggest one: adapt or die.

      That’s not even the worst one, before the dinosaurs a large volcano in What is now Siberia errupted, throwing Earth’s climate into a catastrope, the oceans became stagnant and putrid, belching poisonous gases from anaerobic bacteria across the land and sea, an estimated 90% of all life on Earth was smothered by the event.

      It’s called the End Permian extinction and it’s the closest life on earth has come to being snuffed out entirely. Though for some reason it’s forgotten about a lot.
