The Climate Change Deniers Have Won - Guardian/Observer

24. No worry...Mother Nature gets the last laugh

There is little doubt that we have set forth an unstoppable (in human time frame) juggernaut which will affect nearly every living creature on Earth, and most not for the better. Climate change, habitat loss, and just plain killing will continue to decimate countless creatures of all makes and models.

Humans, most of them anyway, think they are above it all, if they think at all.

The truth is that there will be hell to pay. It might come in rapid sea level rise, collapse of the ocean's ecosystem, or perhaps an asteroid will come by and really show who is boss.

In ten thousand years, maybe a hundred thousand, not a long time to Mother Nature; Earth will be on its way to recovery from the plague of humans. It is unfortunate that we do not have the capacity, the humility, or the respect that is necessary to live on this planet without destroying the very essence of it that makes our lives possible.
