I have a question about nuclear weapons. Anyone here know much about them?

31. Humans are worse than nuclear waste.

If humans vanish or we destroy ourselves then the earth's natural environment will rapidly recover.

In less than a million years it will almost be like we were never here. Nothing left of us but some peculiar fossils and a few tons of space trash.

Plutonium and nuclear waste is a big deal to people because people don't like cancers and birth defects. But nature doesn't care. If one creature doesn't thrive in an environment contaminated with our nuclear waste, then some other creature will.

If we can't protect this environment our species evolved within for ethical reasons, then we ought to be protecting it for selfish reasons.

Since we seem to be too stupid to do either we are likely to be short-timers on this planet. Most species go extinct. Looking around it seems humans won't last. Maybe our descendants will look like this, and they won't cause so much trouble:
