        To be clear the planet will be fine, if it changes it’s only it’s habitability to humans and other current lifeforms.

        The planet will recover like it always does from major celestial events, ice ages and super volcanos. Following those life will eventually come back with or without humans.

        The planet deals on far larger timescales than we can comprehend as 100 year lifeforms.

        To be clear, I’m not advocating for the deconstruction of the current ecosystem as we know it. We should reduce our impact, but I’m saying the planet will be fine regardless.

            Objectively false statement, there are indeed people on this planet which are concerned about the state of the ecosystem and planets future.

              Yes. The ecosystem. Not the actual rock. Nothing is threatening the literal planet itself except the eventual growth of the sun, and maybe an asteroid we don’t know about.

              I will admit my comment was a bit disengenuous because the previous commenter was referring to ecosystems recovering in the long term… But nonetheless I am confident that most people who want to protect the environment don’t want to just ensure that AN ecosystem exists… They want to protect the ecosystems that exist today from destruction at the hands of humans.

            “No one’s arguing that point in the slightest.”

            And

            “this planet burns”

            Both of these are your own words. Contradictory don’t you think?
