That's a good thing, right? The vast majority of the results of technology and "civilization" has turned out to be nothing but a curse on this planet.
To an extent, but we have the chance of transitioning into a solar and wind society and remediate that damage. Subsequent species would not have that potential.
I wasn't even talking about subsequent species, but our own species in the future. As for solar and wind, I'm afraid that the way that population growth and energy consumption growth interacts with the material requirements for solar and wind, that is also going to hit a wall in the not too distant future.
