Always worth remembering that before Earth existed it was a meaningless dust cloud created by the unimaginable power of exploding stars, and after that, it spent nearly 3 billion years as a lifeless rock. So if we accidentally nuked it to a cinder, no biggie, amirite? Sorry for the snark, but your comment is just plain tonedeaf and vapid that it needs to be called out. Pushing thousands or millions of species to the brink or even into extinction because we cannot control our consumption and waste products is not excusable because "meh, it was dead before." Rather it's thoughtless and destructive and self-defeating in the end. Like trampling delicate flowers for fun or smashing stained glass windows that someone labored their entire life making.
