a nice reminder that the planet is gonna be just fine, it's just running a fever to burn out the infection.
Nobody was ever worried about the planet. We are worried about the ecosystems that we rely on to survive.
*mass extinction event is currently happening with thousands of species disappearing *
Planet is gonna be fine pf
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.
extinction events are nothing new. species come and go, life endures.
Aw thank you i feel better now! I ll try to explain that to a polar bear in local zoo
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?

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.
Might take a while, planet don't care...
Just a little dash of creation in your destruction to remind you of Saṃsāra and our completely inconsequential existence in the Universe.
I both love and hate this photo. Cute little bright yellow blooms telling me that things are very bad.
Just a reminder that species do go extict, but these flowers are not a new species. This is not really creation. To be fair it could lead to some in the future. Evolution of new species takes some time.
I was thinking more about the new bloom as a creation/rebirth metaphor, not that the plant itself is some new genetic mutation. I apologise, I likely wasn't entirely clear with my navel-gazing.
I feel I should apologize too, I'm not always grasping metaphors correctly. I actually like your Saṃsāra association.
Professor Farnsworth says he doesn't want to live on this planet anymore. Nature is saying we can't live here anymore.
Futurama becomes increasingly improbable with every new year; we likely won't even make it to 3023 at this rate.
Not only flowers are appearing because of the heat, but new diseases will be likely showing up.
Shit’s wack.
