Tornadoes in February
In another instance of ‘weird’ weather, no doubt attributable to global warming, a string of powerful tornadoes swept across the southern U.S. late Tuesday, killing at least 50 people. Alabama, Kentucky and Tennessee were hardest hit. Meanwhile ten inches of snow fell across the more northern states, from Iowa to Chicago, with more to come.
Some people who don’t understand this claim we are ‘killing the Earth’ with our pollution and poor stewardship of natural resources. But it is really more the opposite. Earth has a slight fever, brought on by an infection of humanity. There are far too many of these humans for the Earth to support, so their numbers are being cut back — slowly at first, but the process will speed up as the fever increases.
Earth got along fine without people for billions of years, and if humans go the way of the dinosaurs Earth will do just fine without them. We aren’t killing the Earth, but Earth may be ridding itself of us — or at least cutting back the numbers to minimize the damage being done.
