Humanity's eventual effect on earth - 11/13/11 06:11 PM
Will human life, assisted with technology, bring eventual ruin to nature?
One may hypothesize there is no chance that will happen, as humans are capable of predicting such disasters and will be able to avert them.
One may also hypothesize that the need for fuel will lead to the eventual complete harvesting of earth and its natural resources...perhaps if resources could be synthesized by means of technology.
I would hypothesize that the progression of time would lead to an eventual dissolution or transformation of humanity as what we know of it now, so that any reasonable hypotheses of our not so distant future are relatively impossible, given our current information. Other than this hypothesis of course.
