I have had a theory for a loong time.

What if we thing of the earth as being alive?
What would be its blood ? What would be its structure?
Blood – I bet you would think the Magma/Lava/Molten Irons as being the blood. You would be RIGHT. But as we humans know, our “blood” has to be a certain temperature for us to survive. We are stripping away layers of the earths body in strip-mining. We are creating gapping wounds by regular mining for diamonds, etc. This is having an effect on the earths core temp.
Lubrication – Just like our bodies need to have lubrication between the joints in our body for movement, the earth does also. OIL, Water, other Liquids, and Gasses make up those lubricants. Every time we remove some we cause instability. The tectonic plates are a prime example. Doesn’t it make sense that there is a natural buffer between the plates that would keep them flowing and promotes avoidance with other plates?

Knowledge is not always our friend. The earth was better off when we were a STUPID RACE. Cavemen had less adverse affects on the earth than WE modern Humans do. THINK about IT !
