Can you prove and give specific examples that humans can’t speed up the Earth’s natural cycles? Politics and money aren’t answers.

Nothing is forever....anything man made will return to the earth eventually.....our simple and extremely short lives are nothing

Since apparently I’m the only one answering questions, I’m going to assume you drink Portland well water.

Why would I drink portland well water .. ? My well isn't in portland



The pnw has some of the cleanest water in the us

That’s not the question. Would you drink Portland well water?

I don't know so much about man's ability to destroy nature, but we can certainly move it around, in which it is about adaptation. The years of the dust bowl is an example of maybe not causing but certainly speeding it up. Without some conservation the heartland would move down the Mississippi faster than what it is. Still it is just moving things around, but I doubt many farmers in Iowa and Illinois would like to relocate to the Delta, lol.

Nature had its own ways, such as lightning strikes to burn off the prairies for fertilization and new growth.

Then there is "do gooders" over doing their thing such as tree huggers and letting the old undergrowth pile up and add to the forest fires.

Or the animal rights not caring about what numbers an area can sustain a healthy population. Yes I believe man can make a difference, but eventually nature corrects itself.

A lot is self regulating as in animal care. If farmers neglect their animals there will be no profit and there will be a wise up period either for the better or for getting out.

one of the tricks the man-made global warming folks use is to place thermometers near the city heat islands. not every thermometer, mind you; but skewed that way, not random.

listen, I dislike cities more than most

but a quick google search tells me that approximately 0.8 percent of earth's landmass is covered by concrete and asphalt.

and about 71 percent of the earth's surface is covered by water.

so, less than 1 percent of the 29 percent of earth's surface is concrete/asphalt.

The land area is what we’re focused on, since that’s where the vegetation grows and that’s what’s keeping us alive. So one percent of 29 percent is almost 3.5% of the Earth’s land area. Maybe that number is too small to matter, maybe it’s extremely meaningful.

I didn’t ask if you liked big cities, but I’m glad you point that out. Why don’t you like them?

you better check your math...1 percent of the earth's land mass is not 3.5 percent of earth's land mass.

Lol read that wrong. Either way, you’re saying numbers don’t matter. If 100% of the land mass is concrete/asphalt then do we impact the Earth?

The benefits of fossil fuels GREATLY outweigh any negative(real or imagined) effects on the planet

The “climate crisis” folks are anti human, and their goal is to reduce the overall human population

Just plain evil!!

You get your news from YouTube.

I’ve personally experienced several things that would suggest humans have an impact.

I use fossil fuels every day. Always have, always will, and I enjoy using them.

Do you think humans can impact the Earth and its natural cycles through our use/development of the land?

that is a Straw Man Argument and won't fly here.

try again.

50%?

did you watch the youtube video I just posted, or do you wish to remain ignorant?

Will you ever answer one question or will you continue to rely on a guy from YouTube that nobody has ever heard of?

really? you're asking a hypothetical question that is ridiculously overblown (by a factor greater than fifty TIMES)?

if that's all you got...
