Is it normal to human acts are all natural

Alright well I was thinking how people say things that humans do to the environment are unnatural and are not supposed to be done, such as pollution. But humans are a naturally occurring race so wouldn't that mean that all the behaviors of humans are indeed "natural". I mean think how humans affected the environment when they migrated across the bering land bridge, they probably disrupted the environmental balance greatly just by living their lives. But in the end the balance was restored and they lived in harmony with the environment. Does this mean the planet will adapt to our current habits, such as pollution and consumption of natural resources? or will the planet fail(which it has never done before...)

Is It Normal?

  • Humans have the natural ability to adapt. Although a positive trait, has also led to our current environmental crisis.

  • I've often thought this too. I believe the death of the planet and our species is a natural cycle.

    • Thats like saying killing yourself slowly and painfully is a "natural" way to die. We're doing this to ourselves! Why do you think the air was so much cleaner 120 years ago? Did you think we farted rainbows as opposed to chemical emissions? Bull s#*t! Pretty much everything we used back then was powered by steam. Water in gas form. Not to mention there were a whole lot more trees back then which ironically (if you paid attention in biology) absorbed carbon dioxide.

      • [cont.] If you lived in an isolated area surrounded by trees and few factories and crap you'd know that the air is (most of the time) pretty damn clean. I'm not against industry; I'm just against too much industry.

  • human instinct is natural, and so is the presence of the huan identity. what is not natural is what we as humans do to the planet, for if we werent here, it would take millions of years to shift the climate drastically, whereas we are speeding it up to a few thousand
