        Precisely, the planet don’t give a fuck, it’ll still be there. Everything living on it though…

          Well, not everything. Just most of the big ones and slow adaptable ones.

          Humans probably arent gonna survive, but viruses might. I know of a certain Agent who’s gonna be looking forward to that.

            I don’t think T Rex was thrilled when that comet hit.

            But the planet is bigger than T Rex. The planet was fine, it recovered. That’s not a good consolation to the T Rex, but it is objectively true.

              This is hilarious and so immediately telling of our current situation. You know what else is objectively true? You are comparing a completely random event on cosmological scale, with human made global warming. Which we could solve, but aren’t gonna. Because that makes economy go bad.

              I am not discussing further, you are obviously hiding from a(ny) responsability

                I’m not the person you originally responded to?

                a nice reminder that the planet is gonna be just fine

                Planet is gonna be fine pf

                I’m just echoing George Carlin’s bit: “the planet is fine; the people are fucked”. There’s almost nothing that people can do that could possibly be worse than the Permian extinction or the Chicxulub impact. Regardless of what people do, the planet will be fine. The planet has survived far worse and come out just fine.

                Whatever we do to combat climate change, it isn’t for the planet. It’s for the people.

                Just as if there were a Cretaceous space program, redirecting the asteroid wouldn’t have been for the planet. It would have been for the dinosaurs. The planet was fine, and it made way for us.
