Some evidently did. Every time. And without humans to appreciate it too. When we go, the planet will return to only nature sounds. I think if we were talking about our species extinction, many Greens would be quite happy about it.

Are you absolutely sure it's not due to the machinations of The League of Lagomorphs?

these days. - Is it due to it being fashionable? No. - Is it due to the 'look at me' attention-seeking world that social media has created? No. - Is it because more people feel they can express themselves openly? No. Hmm. So how about this? - Nature is fed up with us destroying the planet and other species and wants us gone. What better way - and, critically, one of the few ways within its control - than rendering so many individuals non-reproductive? Think about that in your daily goings-on. One key thing to note - transgendering is highest, by far, among the people who do the most damage to the planet. Coincidence? Maybe. Or maybe not. Interesting. As a broad generalization? The entire world ecosystem is in a constant state of adjustment, and many an apex predator has ‘left the building’. As far as ‘trans topic’ goes, I have no opinion. I don’t really understand it, but I also have not much interest in it, anyway. Sexuality has been a mixed bag forever, the only thing what’s changed is medical practices. (I’m not much for it for children, though: those are decisions an adult must make for themself, as the ramifications are lifelong.) To the broader point of ‘nature’ and ‘’the human species’? I’ve always viewed Terence Malicks “Thin Red Line” as something of an essay on this subject. He juxtaposes images of natural cruelty, whether it’s vines strangling foliage, birds dying, crocs, and raging seas with the human ‘storm’ coming to destroy everything in its wake. Is man’s irrational behavior related, on some sort of ‘base level’ to hurricanes, tsunamis, plagues and the like? ⁉️

Then they can have a vasectomy getting straight to business without the whole Eric is Erica now hilarity.

And that's putting it mildly.

Maybe not in terms of mortality but certainly in terms of financial liability. They tend to operate within the framework of environmental laws. Which is more than we can say about most 3rd world countries.

If this apparently sentient nature wanted to bother and had the power, why wouldn't it just outright kill people? What would we do about it? File an angry letter? There's nothing sentient about evolution.

Bollocks. Nothing humans are doing to nature is compatible with an ice age or a decent increase in solar activity. Nature survived both numerous times. Duh. Yes there is. Focus on the rate of change. When did an ice age come on in 50 years? And how long did those recoveries take? Hundreds of thousands of years at least. Please think things through a bit more than your average right winger before you get your bollocks out.
