Humanity is conducting a reckless unplanned terraform of the only place that can sustain us within lightyears, at the very least, and have killed off 70% of the macroscopic biomass in less than a human lifetime, but not to fear… Some nonce cunt on the Internet called you a doomer!
I’m sure billions of mentally-ill talking chimps doing whatever they believe benefits them personally will all magically sort itself out before we destroy enough of the natural processes we depend on.
The planet will survive. And there is even a chance that some remnant of humanity might as well - deservedly or no. It is mainly modern society that is done for, and I do not morn its loss.
Yup. It’s fucking disgusting — and highlights our narcissism — every time someone tries to reassure us that humanity will likely survive the destruction of the planet.
I don’t care about humanities survival. Look at the beauty we have destroyed, for fucks sake! After doing what we’ve done to this planet, we don’t deserve to survive. We’re lucky hell doesn’t exist.
I mean yeah - but I do so less for their sake and more for the reason that we should have been responsible and not actively have caused that, you know? imho at least.
There have been mass extinction events many times on earth before, and there probably will be several more times yet again, until the sun dies out or perhaps the planet does prior to that. Perhaps humans will even be around to see the next one(s) too, if we happen to survive this one. That will not negate our responsibility here, but could be true regardless.
We can only control what is within our capability to control. i.e. we need to do the right thing - e.g. reduce our impact - but the actual result of our actions is beyond our control hence I choose not to “worry” about that part of the situation.

I mourn the loss of all the flora and fauna we’ll be taking down with us

I like you.
