Last Resorts

https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/internal_resources/1804/

Well, what ya think? From the very evidence 

before us it seems Nature is reclaiming her 

dominion. We've had a good run haven't we?

Just about everything going our way

able and willing to elevate humankind

to the loftiest perch on the creation scale 

and in so many instances taking nature's 

blueprint and 'improving' on it. Those 

improvisations may not have earned

the plaudits from the great creator we

thought they merited. In quick order

not necessarily looking for approval from

us we have been gifted with a deadly virus

volcanic eruptions that will not stop

tornadoes whose violence and breadth

have outstripped all previous iterations

wildfires destroying great swaths of forest 

and human habitation, atmospheric rivers and

certainly not least an influx of wild boars

and coyotes all hungry to prolong their lives

at the expense of others'. Dispiriting to the

extreme. Reason to strike out and migrate

elsewhere in the universe to find an

agreeable celestial body to host us so we

can begin all over again? Wait: should we?
