Okay guys (and gals). I've been thinking about SushiEatingDragon 's idea about global warming. Go read that first.
So what if that is supposed to happen, and it's been happening for millions of years? What if that had something to do with how the dinosaurs died?
Okay, to understand, think of the Earth as a living thing okay? It has a brain, skin, senses- everything a human has. Okay? Okay.
So it feels too many things on it. It realizes that they're all Dinos. Well, the dinosaurs are taking over. The other animals are afraid of the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs have gotten too far. Okay? Okay.
So Earth thinks, 'We've got to change this!'
And so it purposely kills these dinos.
Then maybe there was a longer space between the dinos and the first civilizations than we think. Maybe there was a huge gap here that allowed everything that the Dinosaurs used (nests, caves,etc.) to be destroyed.
Now, Earth decided, "Well...it seems like everything is clear. I can probably send in knew species."
So first, Earth sends in plants that can thrive in the ash that's all around. These plants make it possible for other plants to grow.
Soon, there are the first animals. Then finally, humans.
But after too long, humans have taken over.
Earth decides, "Well. I kinda like watching these little human fight over the most stupid things...maybe I'll let 'em stay for a while more...."
But now, humans are making too much trash and waste. Earth is mad.
"Humans are terrible! I'll use their own trash against them!"
So eventually, this pollution will cause global warming which is supposed to destroy everything, so that the world can start anew.
Then there will be (this is a guess) a million years of heat to melt and break down trash that we left, so the new creatures can have space.
And in those million years, nothing can live on Earth.
Maybe that's what the other (solid) planets in our solar system are. Dormant planets trying to start over. Maybe Mars is almost ready for life.
I don't know. Just a thought.
