Terra vs. the Humans

==Warning! Warning!==
Earth is out to destroy us!
Yes, my companions, this great big blue-green marble we call home is out to get rid of us all. Global warming, ice storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, wild fires, earthquakes, mud slides, cave-ins, volcanoes, heat waves, tsunami's, cyclones, flooding, plagues, animal attacks, blizzards, tidal waves, lightning, aaaaarrrgh! Let me off this insane ride!
There is absolutely no place on this Earth that natural disasters in one form or another cannot get to you, me, everyone. Every day people are killed by this Earth in "Natural Disasters" or by nature itself. Acts of God, my ass! This is Earth Herself killing us off!
Think of the Earth, Terra, as a great living thing. Most of the Enviro-Nazis do. And like most living organisms, it too has a defense system. We humans, as well as all mammals, have white blood cells that attack viruses within our bodies. Our immune systems protect us somewhat from death-by-germ. We've evolved that way, you know. Now think of Mother Earth as having a similar immune system, one that is killing us "parasites" off in small batches to protect its greater self. These "attacks" on humanity are nothing short of the Earth's own protective system! Terra Herself is trying to limit our "diseased" spread!
When looked at in this fashion, one can only sympathize with our Host-World. She is only trying to stay alive in this cruel, dangerous Universe. If that means ridding Herself of a few nuisance, parasitical, all-consuming bugs such as us humans, then so be it. We will learn to live with it, adapt and over-come, and all that jazz.
We humans can create spheres of protection and continue living for millennium on this Earth. She will never fully be rid of us, nor we of Her. We will move inland as the seas rise, creating newer, brighter, greater coastal cities. We will watch as San Francisco Bay gulps up the surrounding metropolis' under a quake of godly might, then rebuild a friendlier, conservative haven. Wild fires will torch our farmlands and forests, but they will grow back in time, and we'll eat canned stuff until then. Blizzards will bury us, but we will stay warm and comfy beneath our thickly insulated roofs, while watching satellite TV. Too hot, and we'll crank up the AC! Flooding rivers and lakes will only cause us to build great cities of floating buildings. We will see every natural disaster before us as a chance to create an even better world for us all out of the ashes. We will rise to the task and bask in the satisfaction of being the "Masters of our Domain!" We shall stand triumphant upon the mountains and fear no storm!
There is nothing we collectively can do to Terra that She cannot overcome, Herself. We use Her resources for our collective growth, and give back with our lives. We eat Terra's food, then become food for Her upon our demise. Give and take, take and give. A cycle of life we all must follow. We have no choice in the matter, really. That's just the way it has been, is, and always will be.
Period.
That is how I see things from my Great Green Recliner, as the Center of the Universe.
Now, back to my thick, American-beef steak, buttered smashed potatoes, and tall glass of Smithwick's Irish Ale. Live well and prosper, my zealots!
