Mankind is getting out of control, trying to control nature.

We are seeking ways to steer (or stop) hurricanes, determine which vegetation should grow in nature preserves and more.

But then I wonder; if you stop a hurricane, where does its energy go? If you steer it away from a coast, which coast do you steer it to? What about all the microscopic life it moves around the planet, the seeds it transports and such? There’s probably a ton more tiny details involved with hurricanes that make me believe it’s very very dangerous to try and control such powerful natural phenomenon.

And I also wonder; if we control which vegetation is allowed to grow, and which animals, in nature preserves, we don’t let evolution decide which life is strong enough to survive the future. By (over) protecting weaker species, we are making nature weaker to deal with future problems that we are throwing at it as well, like pollution and such. We are thus seriously undermining nature’s flexibility.

The best way to ‘destroy’ (life on) our planet is not polluting it, nor waisting its resources.
