Sorry but you have your facts wrong... and you are making incorrect assumptions...
The fact is... The Earth does not produce more pollution than humans... Nature did not give us the pacific garbage patch... nor did it give us a whole
in the Ozone!!
If you are referring to the misconception, regarding CO2 output being more by a single volcano than the whole of manmade CO2 emissions since the
industrial revolution, that is another often over used and incorrect quote...
From the U.S. Geological Survey...
hvo.wr.usgs.gov...
Although volcanic output of CO2 is dwarfed by the amount released when humans burn fossil fuels, volcanoes do contribute significantly to the natural
carbon cycle of the Earth.
Regarding your assumption about new species being uncovered...
Yes they are... all the time... The unfortunate irony of this is that very often these discovery’s are made while chopping down virgin rainforest...
So yes, they are being discovered but sadly it is during the process of destroying their habitats.
