and if we dont find some quick fixes in small places, we r dead.
tho u have a point, evolving by moving to new territory is absolutely a thing.

we r absolutely a parasitic species which the planet wd do well to rid itself of. the damage we have done will continue to accumulate past my grandchildren’s lifetimes.
but i see zero harm in doing what can b done. esp as we have accumulated so much data, so much tech, and there r actually is a lot of low hanging fruit.

count me in the- what if we made the world a better place for nothing?- camp.
a lot of things we ought to do will make the lives of the ppl doing them better right now. better farming techniques mean healthier farmers, hopefully making more money.
paying farmers to take landscape waste and build hugelpiles stops soil and fertilizer runoff, and builds new soil. simple tech. sequesters carbon. win win win.
there’s a lot more where that comes from.

y wd we not do what we can? and y do u think my opinion on a message board has the power to b dangerous?
