TheJenThe planet itself will be fine. The planet is not dying. It will always find stasis.
The issue, however, is whether or not we make OURSELVES extinct.
QBAS81- learn #degrowthThe planet will be fine, the biosphere will not, I am afraid.
Sammi@qbas81 @JenWojcik Exactly, "the planet" is almost exclusively a load of rock (amazing in and of itself) that doesn't give a damn for the thin veneer of life clinging to its surface. What is at stake is every living thing not just us. We have the capability of destroying the biosphere and given the way we are going we will be stupid enough to do it. The "stasis" for a planet is a lifeless lump of rock, not a humanless ecosystem.
Exactly. We need to reframe what's actually at stake here.
@JenWojcik @qbas81 True, but it is not just us that is in danger it's all life and I prefer not to take the human centered view. The issue is not just about whether we make us extinct.
All life. Naturally. :)
