Last year I noted that despite man's great leap in technological advancement, we are still NO match to the awesome powers of nature-the ultimate black swan.
This documentary video of the planet Jupiter presents a good example. (HT: Bob Murphy)
Jupiter has greatly contributed to life on earth by playing the role of an enormous vacuum cleaner through its massive gravity field (which serves as a defensive shield) that has, so far, kept us free from the risks of catastrophic impact from comets, asteroids and other space objects.
From this point of view, the idea that man is primarily responsible for nature's changes is a speck, irrelevant and represents fatal conceit or intellectual arrogance.
