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 "the effect may be considerable in several centuries". I see media was slightly (but not much) more moderate back then

@ehproque todays media usually doesn’t report at all about something that may become a risk in a 100 years 😠

How often did you read about antibiotics becoming ineffective, because we fed them to lifestock, causing the bacteria to develop resistances?
