Pandemics: Taking out mother nature’s trash? 🌎

I’ve long thought at some point humanity would be exposed to some kind of pandemic or zoonic disease like rabies in racoon or CWD in deer. Most animal species when they get too overpopulated and start putting extreme pressure on their ecosystems start seeing a die back.

It’s not something to celebrate or be happy about, but it’s reality that mankind faces. Humans have a unique ability to shape their environment but that doesn’t mean that they can’t see their population reduced by diseases or other malaises. After hundreds of years of extreme growth maybe the population bomb is starting to explode and natural forces are running their course.

Humanity can and should to a certain extent fight back. But we should also realize we might be finally pushing up against outer limits and a natural cull maybe in order. It will not necessarily be fair or equitable but it might be necessary for the survival of our planet.
