> It seems to be a widely believed falsity that there is a magic ideal environment for all of its species The thing everyone is talking about and thing we need to address is called anthropogenic climate change, which specifically refers to the damage we humans do to the environment, the long term changes, uncertainty and instability we risk with that damage, and the damage already done. > The world changes, species die, other species take their place. Nobody argues against that, because that's simply not where the conversation is at. Anthropogenic climate is caused by humans, it comes to the detriment of humans, and it is in the interest of humans to prevent as much of it as we can. As it stands, we are polluting and destroying our home, and the home of future generations. It's in our interest for species not to go extinct and to preserve as much biological diversity as possible, it's in our interest for the oceans not to be polluted, it's in our interest for the weather to stay somewhat stable and predictable. It is in our best interest for our pollution not to compound for another 100 years. If the externalized, emotional appeal doesn't work for you, that's fine and I am very much in that camp with you. But for entirely rational and selfish reasons, human-caused climate change is something that we desperately need to address, hoping to avoid the worst of what could be ahead of us. Sure, there are individuals and interest groups who are trying to appeal to emotions via the damage and suffering we're causing, talking about the poor animals and the forests burning down and the coral reefs disappearing, but in the end, you're right: Earth doesn't care. Humans on the other hand have every reason to care about sustainability.
