Define "fine". For whom ? Climate change can alter a planet dramatically.
- turnsout 1y ago"Fine" in the sense that life will probably go on in some form or another. The planet's climate has whipsawed countless times, causing many mass extinctions. My point is: when people talk about "saving the planet," what they really mean is protecting the ecosystems that we've grown accustomed to. I think words matter. The planet is not in danger. We are.
