the planet would 'thrive' with or without humans. The planet is fine through our wars, pollution, and extinction of animals. I just find vague Gaia worship extremely cringe.

when you say humanity is bad for the planet you have to define what that means, slightly increasing the heat is something the planet can handle for an example.


humans, given that we run on $, are a parasite. we do not live as one with nature like other animals do.

the planet is surviving, but it is certainly not thriving...

Are you genuinely trying to deny the fact that the planet would thrive without humans?

The wars we’ve put this planet through
The damage we’ve done with our pollution
The animals we’ve caused to go extinct


You must live under a rock


You could add another 5000 things to that list and people would still say, "We're all good".

People blinded by faith will always fail to see the REAL SIGNS of "trouble ahead".

Our planet won't be able to support life if we continue on the current course yet all humanity knows how to do is "double down on ignorance".

I'm not some "doomsdayer" either. I've just watched the ecosystem/biosphere collapse around me. Insect die-off. Animal populations struggling. Trees and root systems destroyed.

Everyone just stare at your phone and not use the senses God gave you to detect danger. "Well the scientific journal says we'll be fine until 2050". "Well the scientific journal lied"

Team human

Or team earth?

Don’t be a traitor. Earth is destined to die anyway but humanity has a non zero percent chance to move on

I agree with op organized religion specifically the big 3 are a detriment team human, since we left the dark ages.

by definition anything humans build is not natural and therefore is parasitic if under a capitalist system? Trying to understand your reasoning. you have an issue with humans if they do anything but live in caves hypothetically since the planet > humanity from your previous post

capitalist system or not... thats beside the point.

we settle, then we consume, then we multiply, we consume some more, then we move outwards, then we settle again and the cycle goes on...

you can literally view cities as cancer on the planet. no, concrete jungles are not natural.

yeah, i'm on team human not team gaia. We should treat earth in a way that benefits humans, if that means reducing pollution etc that is reasonable. I do not subscribe to the idea that humans are "bad" because we cut down forests to make civilization, we aren't "bad" because we redirect rivers or because a certain species would thrive better without our existence. Humans come first.
