Although unlikely, I can envision a plausible pessimistic runaway scenario where we turn Earth into a Venus-like world due to sheer collective stupidity over a sufficiently large timescale. Maybe not completely sterile but having only some hardened bacteria survive is hardly a hopeful outcome for "life".
- ghthor 8y agoWhile I agree about a run away scenario, o do not think were anywhere close to that. The more we look, the more redundant systems we find on the earth for maintaining balance. Nature is very resiliant, more so then we think, and it isn't going to go down without a fight. We think our pollution is bad... natures recovered from worse. We think nuclear war would end life... natures recovered from worse. Fear is the mindkiller, and the powers that are instilling fear into our civilization have another agenda. Eyes open, no fear. Nature needs us to come together and protect the earth and sun from cosmic impacts, we need to act now. Nature can handle the co2, we need to handle the comets and asteroids that are the true threat to life on the planet and in this solar system.
