From the Paper:

"A common notion between mankind is that mankind is the most destructive force in the world. Another is that man is the dominant factor on the planet. These statements are both false. In actuality, the first and foremost threat to man, to life, to this planet's existence, is nature. Man can in no way compare or interfere with nature's fury.Man verses nature is a common thread in literature, but this thread is also a battle raging on even now in which nature has been winning. Nature has been dominating this battle since the beginning of recorded history."
