In case it was missed earlier, I quoted the LSAG report here:

Large Hadron Colliders a DANGER??

Again, from the report:

"This means that Nature has already conducted the equivalent of about a hundred thousand LHC experimental programes on Earth already [snip]
Nature has therefore already conducted the LHC experimental program about one billion times via the collisions of cosmic rays with the Sun [snip]
This means that Nature has already completed about 1031 LHC experimental programmes since the beginning of the Universe."
So, whatever the LHC can do has been done over, and over, and over again in nature.
