Is the author claiming that the complete destruction of planet earth and all human kind is what the environmental debate is about?
For me it’s about my grand children not ending up in Mad Max or Blade Runner.
That would truly suck... for them.
In both these scenarios the earth is around, humans are living and pretty much everything else is dead or dying.
You can always argue that whatever takes place within the boundaries of this universe is a natural progression. My bother is that we as a species know a lot of things, probably more than anything that ever lived on earth, still we keep doing obviously stupid things at scale.
This makes my computer say “no”, and it’s hard to rationalize as natural progression, considering this accumulation of knowledge.
My program tells me to do what I believe is best for my offspring and this seems rather natural to me.
