Will it really help? The earth has its own cycle of evolution.

Along with some other classes, I am also taking human evolution and we watched a movie last class called “how the earth was made”. This movie shows what was contained on our earth from the beginning of time, billions and billions of years ago. From the first ameba, to rain fall, to lava explosions, to when the first rock formed, and oxygen slowly covered the atmosphere around the planet; there has been a very distinct cycle that our planet has gone through since the beginning of time. People have only inhabited it for a fraction of how old the planet really is. The stages and cycles the planet goes through are generally unchanged from who and/or what is living on the planet. I’m not saying that people aren’t contributing to global warming or shouldn’t be using up all of the planet’s natural resources, but it really doesn’t matter. There are ice ages that come and go, warm stages that come and go, and right now we are in a warm stage. Once the planet goes into its freeze stage everyone on earth will die, the planet will be uninhabitable. This may not happen for another million years, but eventually it will happen. The movie, “how the earth was made” is very educational and resourceful. It shows people what to expect for the future and when to expect it. Hopefully we will be living on another planet by then and won’t have to worry about the changes, freezes, and lava explosions that will occur and kill everything on the planet earth.
