There will be no “mistakes” as the earth’s processes go on exactly as THEY will… not as WE wish they would. The earth will not take revenge on us arrogant humans. WE will simply, through natural processes, be reduced to sediment and covered up. There is plenty of evidence for reduction and burial of human efforts (hence the science of archeology and anthropology).

We should be careful for what we wish. Since the Precambrian period CO2 has gone from a significant component of the atmosphere to a trace gas. As the atmosphere proceeds with physical and chemical changes, we’ll begin having problems with crop yields. Already, plants relying on C4 photosynthesis are on the rise. And plants requiring CO2 are on the wane. We and our livestock eat the ones that rely on CO2.

About 750 mya, Alabama did not exist – it was oceanic crust. Later, Mount Cheaha was part of a mountain range equal to the Rocky Mountains (~300 mya). What is now Alabama was near (or on) the equator. The climate was MUCH warmer then. Flora and Fauna flourished. Uh… and some the flora mass was buried to make abundant coal, oil, and natural gas. When the Wetumpka Crater was formed, Sylacauga was a seaside town.) At one time, the Western Sahara was arable land. Long before human beings began using fossil fuels, that changed. Approximately 20 kya ,the Bering Strait was dry land – Savannah… and large mammals roamed and flourish there. What did humans have to do with all of this? NOTHING!

The earth is cooling. It has been since the Hadean period 4.6 bya. However, when the sun becomes a red giant, the earth will be swallowed up (in about 5 billion years). Yes, it will be warmer then. (But the sun will be cooler.) This follows the 2^nd and 3^rd laws of Thermodynamics.

Have a NICE day.
