   That is not a destruction.  That is an evolution.

   So humans tell themselves.  As an entire town burns down in summer   
   fires in Calif a couple of years ago and now another this year in BC.   
   And the ocean rises, and storms are more frequent and more severe.  If   
   you want to notice, that is.  It might help ameliorate things a little   
   if humans could learn to be a little less disruptive.
