I too often read "The planet is dying! 😱"

It is not. The planet is adapting to what we're doing. There will always be a rich ecosystem on our planet.

But that ecosystem will adapt to the point where we no longer have a place in it.

No, the planet is not dying. We are.

Please understand that this planet is much more powerful than we will ever be. In geohistoric scale, we are a flyspeck. Thinking that we would be able to extinguish the life on this planet is rather arrogant. No, not even with nukes. All we will accomplish is our own extinction.

@KleineMaulwurf It's arrogant to believe we can't sterilize Earth, with heating being now above prehistoric heights.

We're basically gods as species go, we can either act in the best image of gods or the worst image, and by being quarrelsome and hateful of each other and not working on cleaning up our act and ensuring we don't cook ourselves, we are acting in the worst image. It's arrogant to act like we can't fuck up nature that badly.
