"The fundamental problem is that the earth was in a balance,"
Nit pick but, is there anything that says the earth isn't or won't be at a balance?
Sure, climate change will be hugely impactful, especially for humans, but I figure the earth will still be in balance, just not the one we are used to.

- betwixthewires 5y agoI'm not arguing the point you're arguing against, but I felt the need to point out that those two extremes are not what we are talking about, we are talking about a new "balance" that is known to have supported life in the past.
