I take a very Carlin-esque view on the planet.
This is a planet that has endured countless mass-extinctions, cataclysmic events, billions of years of change and millions of meteor impacts, and we have the gall to think that we're actually going to damage it by building a few factories?
Earth will give us our species ending event and life will continue just like it always has.

There really isn't much to do about animal slaughter and deforestation, we're the apex predator at the moment, we can kill everything and at the rate we're overpopulating, we need to.
As of right now, it comes down to a simple choice.
We can either ravage the planet's surface, kill other animals and pollute the oceans, or we can die out.
Personally, I would go for the latter.

I agree with your first statement. Earth can bounce back from pretty much anything.

There has been tests which have shown that our planet's problem with pollution and are ozone layer can heal itself with time. Pollution and greenhouse gases are really not a problem, neither are deforestation, as seen with the countless number of extinction on our planet.

I disagree though, with your point on animal slaughter. Even though we are the apex predator, I see no reason in harming endangered animals, or most of the animals at all.

Yes we need food, and we are becoming overpopulated if we aren't already but we can find different methods of obtaining food. 3D printers at the moment can actually print food and we already engineer meat from stem cells.

OT though, in the future I see us inevitably becoming extinct. Many scientists have already agreed that we are overdue for an extinction. Once we become extinct or escape our planet and move on to another (which I don't see happening), our planet will, in time, bounce back from our destruction of the earth and new life will arise with a new apex predator.

Tbh, I completely agree with Capo (HST), he summed it up perfectly. +1

We really are savages and destroying Earth, very eye opening.

When it said start by changing yourself i ended saying start by exiting this video and now i feel like i made the world a better place.
