    The perennial cry to “Save Earth" is odd. Planet Earth survives massive asteroid strikes -- it'll survive anything we throw at it. But Life on Earth will not.

        I suspect some life forms will survive in spite of our best efforts. We, on the other hand, will likely not.

        Do you think if we infused Tardigrade DNA to, at the very least, have a chance at survival?

        It'll be great as long as you don't mind walking around looking like a giant tardigrade. 😛

        Because obviously when people say 'save Earth' they're referring to the planet's life or ecosystem, not a ball of rock. So his post is the definition of pedantry.

        Admittedly, "Preserve the Relatively Stable Biosphere in Which Human Civilization Developed" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

        "Keep all the expensive coastal real estate from being flooded" isn't as inspiring, but it might be what it takes to get Capitalism to stop other capitalists from trashing the place.

        The one thing I really enjoy about him is how he boils complex things down so anyone can grasp it. He's got such a way with communication. But he had us rolling that day with laughter.

        This hero worship of NGT and sciencism is exactly the social characteristic and the new religion of our culture that will ensure we wipe everyone out.
