When you say "we" are on track to destroy this world .it seems to me that you are denying the geological record that shows climate change is a given.our weather systems and our planets atmospheric chemistry has never been stable.
I'm not going to drop links attempting to argue my point as you seem to have made up your mind.
I will say I'm concerned about the planets rapidly changing atmospheric chemistry but, according to the " accepted " geological record it has changed so many times in 4.6 billion years that for me to take the current
" Sky is falling because we broke it" talking points is just a non starter.
I really appreciate the ppl doing modern science in this area but it, to me is just pointing out obvious things.
Our species has the privelige of harnessing these natural resources provided to us. and yes there are negative effects of using these resources,
Along with a lot of positive ones( like being able to discuss this issue with ppl all over the planet in real time)
The world will not be destroyed only changed- and change is the only thing that remains constant
The planet will be fine in the long run. The current ecosystem, and its ability to sustain as many people as it is currently, will not be.
Yes, the Earth has changed a lot over the past 4.6 billion years, including many instances in which the majority of extant species suffered huge die-offs and went extinct. We are currently causing this to happen again, which will be bad for us as well for most other species. Why would we do so when we could instead not do so? Unlike the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs and previous catastrophes of the past, this one is of our own making, and is within our power to prevent. Why would you be so blase about allowing it to happen when we could NOT have it happen? We'll all be far worse off for it having happened.
