The History Channel had a series a few years ago called “Life After People”. It was great! It showed how nature would take back the planet….50 years after. 100 years after. 1000 years after, 10,000 years after, etc. Incredible and so interesting. Wish they’d rerun it. -—I hope this arc is not finished, but this looks like an “ending” strip.
Humans have been around for about 2 million years. So we went from the Trees to the Moon in 2 million years. The last great extinction was 65 million years ago. That is enough time for there to have been many civilizations that have reached our level then wiped themselves out, then started again. It seems to me that our fate is in our hands. We have now reached the point that I believe several other civilizations have also achieved. We now have the knowledge to make ourselves extinct, the question is will we be wise enough to avoid that this time? The earth doesn’t seem to care, he/she/them will start over. Its goal seems to be life itself, it doesn’t have to be us.

Is it true they have plans to flatten those peaks and build a resort city up there for the super rich? /s
