There is abandoned rail road North of Portland OR that is like this not sure if this is the same one though.

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Now I'm confused because north of Portland is Vancouver, are we talkin about Columbia City Deer Island area?

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I said north of Portland just as in general. To be exact it's Northwest of Portland out past Hillsboro on highway 26.

Some sections of the old line to the coast look like this. Is that where these were taken? The E/W line in NoPo is still in use afaik.

The place I know is heading out to seaside I think the town is called timber.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Right! West of Portland. Very west. Sort of north-ish, I suppose. There's a plan to turn that line into a walk/bike trail to the coast.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Okay, Banks to Vernonia Trail, I look pictures on my profile of that place I love it, and yeah very very West,

If humans suddenly disappeared, plants would take over. The nuclear ones.

Its a daily struggle for an massive force of landscapers, keeping the green at bay.

The earth is not fragile. We humans are. We're fucking ourselves over big time and ultimately will not be missed.

Yes, but my aggressive take over of the company so I could liquidate its assets for a cool million was indeed brilliant.

Something that didn't matter in the least.

Oh. Yep.

That's why we have to burn more fossil fuels, so that mother nature learns her place, and that we leave a mark.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

"Her place" would be "smiting us" in that context. I'd rather she not.

Oh yes. Especially in tropical climates. Saw a bridge that had a tree growing on it in the middle of a super buissy train space in tokyo.

Couldnt have been older than two years considering how well used the rails are and space is in extreme need.

The misconception about global warming is that our earth is in danger. Mother nature was, is, and will be. It's more about how we'll cope 1)

8 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

Nah. HUMANS are in danger. Nature'll be just fine. Maybe not every individual species of it, though.

with our destruction when we make it uninhabitable. 2)

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

It won't even be uninhabitable for us. A lot of shit will change and do a lot of damage to modern society in the process.

We're not threatening all life on earth, just life as we know it. Losses of habitat, biodiversity, and climate shifts faster than...

The notion that Gaia is real is dangerous. Experimenting too far with climate risks another global extinction like the oxygenation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Oxygenation_Event - Nearly all life died. It may happen again and everything which breathes oxygen dies.

evolution can adapt to (in most cases) will result in a very different world. How much damage we do impacts out own odds of survival.

Yup. I watched that one. They said it wouldn't take long for cats to take over. Lol. They are just biding their time....

Yea it said cats would go primal and hunt and stuff and doggos would most likely go extinct with no humans to feed them

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Meh, cats are loners and dogs are pack animals. Cats will do better on their own, but dogs have the pack instinct to support each other.

Don't forget about all the poor doggos locked in houses/chained in yards and can't escape
