Not really. Planet isn't being killed. Planet will be fine long after we're gone. Just another extinction chapter in a long history of extinction. We probably wouldn't even be the biggest extinction event.

No, what we're killing is ourselves. Sooner or later we'd have changed so much if our environment that it's no longer capable to sustain us. Then a large enough portion of humanity will end up dying to the point we can no longer sustain ourselves.

Planet isn’t being killed.

Sixth mass extinction in planetary history. We're wiping mega-fauna and floral colonies off the map faster than at any time since the dinosaurs went extinct.

No, what we’re killing is ourselves.

Of all the life forms that have a chance of surviving climate apocalypse, humans are better positioned than most.

We survived the Ice Age with far less. If 99% of the human population was wiped out tomorrow, there would still be more of us than during the era of Alexander the Great.

The loss would be in biodiversity. A great deal of what makes living on Earth pleasant would be gone.

Great post - I actually feel ever so slightly less pessimistic about the future.... not joking. Perspective is a powerful thing.
