Earthlike planets are the most valuable resource we know of in the universe and we've only got one. You can't just ask for another

It's like saying it doesn't matter if we turn all our farmland into a dust bowl because we can just make new farmland in the Sahara desert

I think colonizing other planets would be great and it will only ever happen if we manage to not squander all the resources on this one

The idea of a ravaged starving Earth pulling off space colonization is absurd. Even in Interstellar it only works bc of the Wormhole Aliens

Btw the Wormhole Aliens in Interstellar clearly aren't descended from humans but from robots. The humans are all dead after like 200 years

Those spaceships are very expensive, hard to get the parts and labor when the rest of the world is fighting the Water Wars

Anyway Gary Johnson has a point. The race of intelligent beetles that colonizes Mars in 1.5 million years will like Earth's climate fine

Our intelligent beetle inheritors won't be mad at us for warming up the Earth for them. They won't even know we existed

Imagine the myths that would develop as they found artifacts of our civilization early in the development of theirs.
