Question:
This is going to sound a bit negative, but?
I look around at the mess the world is in, and can't help but think.
There is nothing wrong with the world that would not be solved by removing all the people.
Am I right?
Answers:
Hmmm.... I'm not sure. It depends on what you consider the mess to be. If you consider the problem to be corruption in society, then removing humans will do nothing as nature and the animals in it are not concerned with such issues. If you consider problems to be diseases then no, removing humans would do nothing. Diseases would spread between animals just as easily as with humans. If you consider the issue extinction of species then it may be of slight benefit to remove people. Although we are the leading cause of deforestation and destruction of natural habitats (the leading cause of extinction of species), there is no way to predict what will happen when humans are gone. The creatures could be hunted into extinction by their natural predators, or they could be killed by climate change. Climate change is an extremely debatable issue. Many believe humans are causing global warming...however there is no definite proof of this. In fact, many trends show some parts of the earth are cooling, many glaciers are growing, the upper atmosphere (which should be getting hotter according to the greenhouse effect theory) has actually cooled over the past 20 years. Although carbon dioxide has increased, the increase is hardly noticible. The increase is from 316 parts per million to 376 parts per million. Also all predictions at climate made in the current age are actually estimates. Estimates based on nothing. Climate is a system to difficult to be understood well enough to be predicted by scientists. Lets face it...scientists dont even get the 10 day forecast right most of the time, so how can they accurately predict 100s of years into the future. And even if all of teh humans were eliminated, whose to say another species wouldnt evolve eventually into the same niche that humans now occupy.
