This is utterly stupid. It says man shouldn’t exist.

To others it might say that man is the most lethal of all creatures and causes more death, including his own species,than any other.

“To others it might say that man is the most lethal of all creatures and causes more death, including his own species,than any other.”

It is sorta true that manis the most lethal of all creatures, though some would argue that microbes are more lethal and succesfull; some might argue insects.

However, man is also the most successful at managing the environment and increasing bio output through irrigation, managed harvesting, flood control, and other technologies.

There is a strong arguement to be made that there is more biomass on the planet today than at anytime since man appeared on Earth.

“Nature” is not in balance, it is not purposeful, it is not benign, it is not an eden. It simply is. Man has improved the environment far more than he has destroyed it.
