I miss not worrying about the earth dying.
- DoreenMichele 7y agoIf it helps any, the earth is probably not dying. There have been mass extinctions, climate change, etc before. After we cut our own throat as a species, Mother Nature will deal herself a new hand and continue her game of solitaire without us.
- andrewstuart 7y agoI have no doubt it's not the end of life on earth - the earth will recover and life will continue for another 3 or 4 billion years, probably. I'm more concerned about the short term - i.e. what will happen to us and our children and future generations.
