    Well... that's really just it then, huh? Without serious revolutionary action, which can still happen, the Earth is just fucked

      It's not exactly ideal, but I suspect the global South will use aerosols to cool the planet down. The subsequent consequences of that are unknown. I wouldn't be surprised to see that, in turn, taken too far.

          plant trees

          Current climate models almost always assume negative emissions. The best technology we currently posses to do that, is, like you said, planting trees. If all nations keep the promises they made in the Paris agreement, we still need to plant a forest the size of two to three times India to keep us below 1.5°C warming.

            This is like using new babies as an excuse for murder. Ecocide is not justifiable because in millions of years life may evolve again.

            This is Reddit (tm) pedantic nihilism and it’s gross

              I didn't say ecocide is justifiable. I said life would come back.

              The end of most species is still bad though

                That’s definitely the implication when you pedantically correct people who warn against catastrophic global ecological destruction with “eh the earth will be fine”. It’s a very common Redditism, as it combines pedantry with nihilism, anti-humanism and consumerism.

                    Eh I’m sure you didn’t mean anything by it, it’s just an annoying Reddit trope. You made it in jest as dark humor it seems, but there are people out there who literally use these arguments to not care about the “doom speaking alarmists” who warn about what is coming and continue their inaction

          Animal & plant life have ironically been through more bullshit than we've thrown at them & bounced back before. You gotta remember that something like 90% of all biodiversity that has ever existed on the planet went extinct before humans even existed as a species.
