Saviour of Civilisation

Long before technological advancement begun, nature was in kind of perfect harmony. There were instances where single species seems to dominate the landscape for some time but over the course of time, nature used take the lead. In case of human by dint of our Intelligence we seemed to slowed this process.It may take time, nature  will ultimately restore the balance. But it may be too late and may result in slow and painful death like situation for human civilisation. In Hindu mythology all three gods  creation(Brahma), upkeep(Vishnu) and destruction(Shiva) is considered of equal importance. Destruction is not something bad, but in fact it's first step toward new construction.


Earth is facing another major form of extinction of species and this time it is entirely man made.
Earlier major extinction gave way for other suppressed species to flourish. As it is big animals and plants which suffer most in such cases. Till now there has been five major extinction , and we facing sixth extinction.

Increasing population of human has not just affected other species but have also significantly reduced the quality of human life as well. Few decades back is was easy to have a big front yard garden and lot of open spaces to roam. Now a day it only a privilege for a selected riches. Decreasing resources will further degrade lifestyle and increase stress in our life.

So what is solution for all these ? What can be done to ensure to other species of plants and animals thrives as well? Also how to ensure enough availability of resource for upcoming generation?

Some may claim solar energy, nuclear energy, population control or effective use of other technology as way of solution. But I beg to differ these way are too naive to effectively reduce burden of 7.2 billion people.

Destructive approach can be only effective way to free the earth. What such approach will be our saviour?
It may be
1. Nuclear Weapons
2. Massive asteroid Attack
3. Global Infectious Disease
4. Or a reason not yet known to mankind
 
There may be several other reasons, many of which I am unaware of. What part we can play to accelerate this process ? If possible I'll try to address this question in next blog.
