I have to agree with you. <<Only a fool thinks the Earth is fragile.>> Up here if you do not wage continuous war on it, the rainforest will occupy your house in a matter of decades. It has a good start in my back yard already. Take for example the Mendenhall Glacier, which 200 years ago resided where my house now stands. All around me the trees are so high I can't see the glacier, except where somebody cut them down to build their house. The trees that are here now are the ones that started after this entire area was converted from wilderness to suburb. One mile away from the glacier trees are respectable. A hundred yards away, bushes. A hundred feet away, lichens and moss. In the ice itself, iceworms and all manner of organisms. In two hundred years there will be a rainforest at the edge of the glacier. (Provided of course that global warming doesn't pull a switcheroo and advance the glacier like it has done a dozen times since the dawn of man.) There is nothing fragile about nature. Nature is unstoppable. The only thing that is fragile is our sensibility.
