Balance of nature: man making a bad balance (Introduction)

by David Turell , Tuesday, November 15, 2016, 20:23 (2929 days ago) @ dhw

David's comment: The point is obvious. Those rabbits are terribly disruptive.

dhw: That certainly is obvious. And what is equally obvious is that according to your reasoning, life remains balanced, because it still goes on. But now it’s balanced in favour of rabbits – just as once it was balanced in favour of dinosaurs. What you call “bad balance” is balance you don’t like. Rabbits are having the time of their life.

While valuable plants are being destroyed, bringing more bad balance. You are right, there are all sorts of balances, good and bad.
