Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 18 hours agoPsssshhhhhh!!! Silly child. The world can take anything the humans can dish out. And if the world decides there needs to be another extinction level ice age, or another life ending meteor strike, so be it.
The world can take our best punch and no-sell it. Then respond with ending our lives. The world will be fine, and last billions more years. The humans on the other hand are like chihuahuas. Loud, mouthy, pushy, aggressive, but totally vunerable. Even if they’re too stupid to realize it.
Just ask the T-Rex what happens when you get mouthy. Oh wait, you can’t. They’re all dead.

In an Indigenous knowledge framework, the land includes all the plants and animals and river systems. Those aren’t doing so great either.

But without people they would be able to thrive

How are the native animals gonna thrive when we have cats, rabbits, and cane toads? How’s the Lesser Bilby gonna thrive when invasive cats and foxes introduced by humans already killed them all?
We’re already in the middle of the Holocene extinction event, Earth’s sixth mass extinction. It’s already started. Humanity (or more accurately, Europeans) are the next Chicxulub.

The only thing that cares about whether the Bliby goes extinct or not is us. The planet couldn’t give two shits about whether somethings a “native” species or a foreign invader.
The surviving organisms left behind after thisHow are the native animals gonna thrive when we have cats, rabbits, and cane toads? like they did all the other times.
