Holy cow, Batman, that's some fatal case of hubris if I've ever seen one.
Environmental damage /is/ an /existential/ threat. We're part of an ecosystem, we're not independent of it. We have no way to produce food or oxygen without an ecosystem. In what artificial Biosphere do you live in?
The sheer audacity leaves me (almost) speechless.
- quotemstr 8y agoAgriculture is producing food without the ecosystem.
- esarbe 8y agoNope, it isn't. You're still dependent on the fertile soil, on nematodes and fungi, on insects and arthropods. You fool yourself when you think that all these square kilometers of dry and dead dust will yield anything at all when there's no ecosystem around to renew the dehydrated husk of soil we leave when we're done. Google for 'arable soil loss' and read a bit about it, please.
