The Supreme Court curbed the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to broadly regulate carbon emissions from existing power plants, a major defeat for the Biden administration's attempts to slash emissions at a moment when scientists are sounding alarms about the accelerating pace of global warming.
That’s definitely the implication when you pedantically correct people who warn against catastrophic global ecological destruction with “eh the earth will be fine”. It’s a very common Redditism, as it combines pedantry with nihilism, anti-humanism and consumerism.
Eh I’m sure you didn’t mean anything by it, it’s just an annoying Reddit trope. You made it in jest as dark humor it seems, but there are people out there who literally use these arguments to not care about the “doom speaking alarmists” who warn about what is coming and continue their inaction
Animal & plant life have ironically been through more bullshit than we've thrown at them & bounced back before. You gotta remember that something like 90% of all biodiversity that has ever existed on the planet went extinct before humans even existed as a species.
the earth is gonna be fine in the long run, it's human beings who are gonna be fucked.
Almost all animal and plant life on earth will also be fucked. But yeah at least the rocks and dirt will still be there.
cockroaches will probs be fine

Fuck yeah rocks 🪨 🪨
life always bounces back
This is like using new babies as an excuse for murder. Ecocide is not justifiable because in millions of years life may evolve again.
This is Reddit (tm) pedantic nihilism and it’s gross
I didn't say ecocide is justifiable. I said life would come back.
The end of most species is still bad though

My apologies I don't think there are any positives to the coming ecological destruction

I agree with you and am not consoled either. I was just saying what I think will happen (mushroom people)
:yea:

Cool. I don't want one of those mass extinctions to happen in a few short generations for the most pointless reasons imaginable.
I mean, yeah. Fair.
