Sure, there are many theories. Velikovsky isn't exactly mainstream, but his
ideas are very insightful, so who knows?  Nonetheless, we humans do have a
long history of destroying our own environment eg: polluting our water
supply; deforesting land which often leads to erosion; over-fishing and
over-hunting which can lead to agriculture or starvation. :-)
