    This is in fact true but a part of the 1% thinks (foolishly) that they have loophole: colonizing space.https://twitter.com/readerer/status/1192174412117753857 …

    Casual "hump-day" reminder to anyone reading about how much it "costs" to "solve" climate change that Earth's functional biosphere is the literal source of all value!

        In space no one can hear you... laugh with schadenfreude at failed elite-driven plans to colonize space.

        Nevermind that colonizing space (or the moon, Mars, etc) won't succeed without a viable biosphere on Earth, from which they can obtain supplies that they won't be able to manufacture or harvest wherever they are. Sure, there are fantasies to the contrary, but they're just that.

        Yes this! Making habitable places on other worlds is important. ~Keeping~ the currently habitable parts of Earth habitable is way more important and way easier.

        Earth will remain an attractive location for artificial habitats for some decades, and a promising candidate for terraforming after that.

        Right up there with the Ayn Rand cultists who threaten to "go Galt" and hide in a cave somewhere until we see how well society works without them. Personally, I'd help pack their bags and gladly see them on their way. 😎
