We’re destroying a lot of life and radically changing the composition of the planetary surface.
Life will make it.
On the up side, we’re the sixth mass extinction event in planetary history. And - arguably - not even the worst of the lot.
On the down side, we are (as far as we are aware) the first organism that can anticipate its own demise and do something about it. And yet our own gnostic potential seems incapable of averting catastrophe. All we, as a population, seem capable of doing is shitposting our way into oblivion.
