Good news.

This old earth has been frozen over, burned completely over, yet somehow managed to survive; as well as thrive.

The earth isn't delicate. Humans are, but this world will be here eons after we've gone. Our time here is a blip on the radar screen and we have no way to stop the warming that's been happening since the last ice age ended, or to stop the next ice age. When that comes, humans will be praying for global warming, but those half mile thick ice sheets will still creep down from the poles and destroy everything in their path.

The arrogance and self glorification of humans never ceases to amaze me. We're nothing more that a glorified mound of termites as far as the Earth is concerned.

99.% of all species to ever inhabit this planet are now extinct. We will be too, sooner or later and the Earth will still be doing what it's been doing since long before we ever arrived. When the sun finally dies and our atmosphere and oceans have long boiled away, the Earth will drift out into deep space and become just another cold rock among hundreds of billions.

LOL that's great! Too bad I can't listen to that. If only he could be a Democrat and carry his message, then it wouldn't seem so partisan.
