Is it? Does it actually matter? Serious question.
- h2odragon 5y agoI dont think it matters in the timespan of our species probable use for this planet. However. Don't let that stop you from donating to my just launching "venture NGO" to study the feasibility of protecting the earth's atmosphere by wrapping it in a big paper sack: which will sequester carbon, preserve our Precious Planetary Gasses, shade us from the Sun's evil ultraviolet rays and other harmful radiation, and vastly stimulate the economy. We expect to raise $2 billion to commence the first study sometime in 2084. Interesting links: https://www.space.com/earth-atmosphere-extends-beyond-moon.html https://www.space.com/earth-atmosphere-extends-beyond-moon.h... and this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_of_Earth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_of_Earth suggests that the changing composition of the atmosphere at ~600 million years is probably a more immediate problem
