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.

I do not advocate coal mining or burning coal.
One thing interesting to me about burning coal - the soot in the sky blocked sunshine and cooled the earth a little- so when burning dirty coal stopped- more sunshine reached the earth and heated the earth more quickly.
I hate coal mining- it ruined the economies and environments of Ky and WV and other states.
Human activities are affecting climate- but foretelling what will happen is impossible
