If anyone out there has the chance to watch this on the History channel I recommend it. It is an amazing show about what would happen to the world if human life disappeared off the planet suddenly..starting with what would happen to house pets left behind to what hundreds of years of no human life would do to the planet.
Makes you appreciate how small we really are and puts the things we see as SO important(like money) in serious perspective.
With all the people crying about how humans have destroyed the earth and taken it the point of no return...science shows how if we werent here, nature would reclaim the earth in a biological nanosecond.
They show a town near Chernobyl in the Ukraine where people(over 50 thousand) were evacuated overnight 20 years ago. Just now have the radiation levels dropped enough for humans to begin to safely return and it is EERIE. Everything is exactly the same as it was when it was suddenly left 20 years ago...except that nature(even with incredible radiation levels) has taken it over...buildings crumbling, wildlife flourishing, etc...
Again...highly recommended!
