Obviously nuclear weapons could make the planet uninhabitable. That's not the point, and it's a form of reductio ad absurdum.

- ryanp0 11y agoSo obviously some human actions can make the planet uninhabitable, so humans are capable of impacting the planet. The question therefore isn't whether humans are "big enough" but whether particular human actions are impacting the planet. My entire point was that the line of reasoning that we're not big enough to impact the planet is nonsense since not only do smaller things than us impact the planet, but there's indisputable methods we are capable of rendering the planet uninhabitable.
