    Hurr durr, there was a massive impact 60 million years ago, 11 deep into the human evolutionary chain when our great ancestor looked like a rat (carpolestes), and 75% of species went extinct you think the planet wont recover.

    Oh yes, it will, it will recover. And life will likely flourish. Without us.

          In the sense that overfishing is devastating the ecosystem of the oceans. Not to mention we’re killing off bees and we aee going to he in some deep shit if bees become extinct.

            that doesn’t scream uninhabitable to me yet. i think humans are creative enough to come up with solutions i.e. manual pollination. bees being extinct wouldn’t make the world uninhabitable as far as I know

        We can build a habitat for humans to survive IN ORBIT but zero possibility of building habitats down here. Got it, chief.

        I, for one, welcome the coming human hives and artifical overlords with open arms.

          Well, let me know when I can by one at Walmart. I have read enough about Telsa to not be in any rush to beta test Elon Musk’s orbiting Heavenly Hotel. or whatever the fuck Bezos has planned.

      So we are on the cusp of feasibly colonizing other worlds but the idea of colonizing our own world as it becomes less and less habitable over time with the same technology is somehow entirely alien to you.

      Make it make sense.

        We’re on the cusp of being able to ship huge amounts of materiel to Mars to support a small colony.

        We’re not really on the cusp of being able to run a fully self-supporting colony. We’re pretty far from being on the cusp of being able to do the same en-mass on earth.

        You made the argument yourself we are already making it uninhabitable for us. And if living in a dome is okay for you then go to one and stop wasting our time. When your dome fails don’t come crying.

          And when your ecosystem calls it quits after the 10,000th oil spill, don’t come crawling to my dome looking for help.
