    Which we also won’t destroy. Life on earth will adapt, but we’re making it inhospitable for ourselves.

      Well, I guess all the life forms that are going extinct through the Holocene/anthropogene extinction event, which humans caused, don’t matter?

      Sure there will be life on earth and it will adapt, but don’t act like we’re not taking down whole families of plants and animals with us… because it’s already happening.

          It’s the talk of extinction which annoys me. No main stream climate scientist seems to be proposing this… but people keep saying it.

          Things are going to get shittier and lots of people are going to die… but extinction is a whole nother level

      Look genius- we know the planet will be just fine. When ppl say we are destroying the planet we obvious (except to you) are talking about our own survival on the planet.

      Again Sherlock, nobody is talking about the frame of view of random animals that may or may not be fine. We are only talking about our frame of reference.

      If you actually considered the semantics of “technically some people will still be alive but living in a mad max like apocalypse or jellyfish will be fine” means that our biosphere hasn’t been destroyed for humans you are being ridiculously pedantic.
