No progress means no risk!
Oh wait never mind the sun will eventually explode and the earth is and always will be doomed. The existential risk isn’t “what will we effect?!”, it’s the opposite: if we do not effect change we’re all dead and all life on earth will snuff out with us.
Inaction is not an option. We must become spacefaring and we must learn to dramatically alter the climates of planets, or all the ecology that has ever existed will die and every living being that ever lived will have died in vain.
