Look at the billions of years of Earths atmospheric composition. Notice that the green things, especially the trees were gobbling up too much CO2 and things were steadily going out of balance.
Gaia. Or mother Earth as you might have heard her called, had to devise a plan. That plan was humans. Humans who would cull the trees and burn everything they could in their incessant industrializations to make the things they want.
You were meant to be here. From the beginning.
A family of trees wanted to be haunted. Take only what you need from it. Learn to manage our resources but recognize that in all things there must be balance.
We are the solution, not the problem. End of line.
