InternalQueries, uh, you forgot about the new river that formed itself in Oregon, parts of cities sliding off of mountains in Bolvia and Brazil. Oh and then there was the new bridge/dam that was washed away by floods before it was even finished in China. Of course, there were the Chinese villages that were obliterated by earthquakes. Lets not forget to mention the earthquake in Haiti that was made so much worse because they stripped their side of the island of trees, so when the hurricane hit, it had more profound consequences.
We so arrogantly think that we can change the natural course of rivers, inject solution into the ground to force up oil, dig out sides of mountains without consequence. Ooops, almost forgot the Gulf Oil Spill. How much of that was the natural course of earth? That was from us mucking about and being stupendously arrogant, careless and stupid.
