I have two words: unintended consequences. Human beings, like every other life form on earth, are part of an eco-system. Every now and then that eco-system most inflict a famine or a plague to regulate that eco-system. Unfortunately, unlike most sentient life on earth, man can think about this and he has decided he is exempt from the immutable laws of nature. So, nature must keep upping the ante. As they said in the old margarine commercials: It is not nice to fool Mother Nature.
