    The planet will be fine don’t worry, it’s mostly us humans that are going to have a problem.

      That’s what people mean when they say planet earth, though. It’s referring to the animals, not the non-biological matter.

        Yes, them too of course but others will probably thrive. The planet has been through worse times than these (see: dinosaurs). It’s a big rock and it won’t collapse because we’re fucking with it.

        It’s habitability that’s the real problem.

          Indeed, the existence of life on Earth as a whole is not threatened by climate change (probably not even humanity). I’d consider it a matter of ethics regarding the life of individuals though.
