      Sorry but we humans have been fucking over the planet and our impact needs to be reduced ASAP.

      We have blithely caused catastrophic damage to the ecosystem and have continued to do so for decades after we had the knowledge and capacity to reverse the effects.

      The argument the whole time against changing our ways has been but it will hurt the economy

      Well, we are now reaping what we sowed, so Fuck the economy and let the find out phase begin as soon as possible.

          I am not a capitalist. I beleive in degrowth and communalism

          Honestly?

          Your politics are irreverent, you are still Humans first and only.

          The earth is in the middle of the sixth and fastest mass extension in the planets 3,500,000,000 years that life has existed.

          It is only the second caused by a single species. The other was the great oxygenation event caused by Cyanobacteria.

          The big difference is that we know the destruction we are causing and are doing nothing

          Personally, the best thing that could have happened to planet earth would have been for COVID to have had a mortality rate of 30-95%.
