- Fuhrer01 4y agoWhy do you say that?
- bigDinosaur 4y agoFor one, plants don't build cities, so if we have to deal with sea level rises than that's a problem for our buildings. The same with any increase in natural disasters: it's easier for a tree to grow again after a hurricane than it is to rebuild an electrical grid. We could deal with it, the issue is that civilisation entails cooperatively working to deal with it as opposed to going to war and killing everyone the second your crops fail.
- _fizz_buzz_ 4y agoIt's great if you are a plant. However, you are human, so higher temperatures, rising sea levels, extremer weather is a problem for you. Plants will be fine (at least some types of plants), humans have a problem.
