Depletion of natural resources and ushering the planet into a new and ongoing mass extinction. Hurrying us out of the current ice-age without considering the short and long term effects on the ecosystem.
Fair enough. I am not trying to engage in bad faith. Often people are emotional about this.
Depletion of resources. All resources are renewable, even fossil fuels. Synthetic oil is made from plants. We chemically convert one to another, eg Natural gas (Methane) burnt makes CO2 + H20. CO2 + H20 can be recycled to make Methane. The amount is constant. We manage transformation.
Mass Extinction is losing min. 50% of all species. 5 Billion species are extinct, 99% since life started on Earth. Far before humans existed ~100,000 years ago. Extinction is a 'feature' of nature. If humans made it worse, how many are going extinct now ? What is a tolerable amount ?
Its too vague. Can you be specific what you mean ? Earth's climate was changing for Billions of years - ice/greenhouse ages, global firestorms, volcanic era. There is no evidence humans can 'steer' it.
