in the last 100 years we have caused more damage to this planet than it would have sustained naturally in 10 times that amount of time.

while it is still a beautiful place, the junk heap we are creating is enormous and impossible to comprehend.

Great... another planet we can fuck up. Awesome.

i personally don't think this planet is even close to being fucked up by us... we've at best caused it some slight scabbing... but Earth is a genuinely awesome and beautiful place.

but its a microscopic blemish... i'm not saying we're not tainting the world, or damaging it in some way... but we havent, as Cosmo said in the past tense, fucked it up.

it'd be like saying Scarlett Johannsen is a monstrous being because she has a 0.001mm pimple on her left arm.

well, as far as this being a sustainable home for us as a species indefinitely, yes, we have and continue to fuck it up. will the Earth "die"? no, but we're making Her inhabitable for ourselves.
