Sorry but we humans have been fucking over the planet and our impact needs to be reduced ASAP.
We have blithely caused catastrophic damage to the ecosystem and have continued to do so for decades after we had the knowledge and capacity to reverse the effects.
The argument the whole time against changing our ways has been but it will hurt the economy
Well, we are now reaping what we sowed, so Fuck the economy and let the find out phase begin as soon as possible.
Just to preface - I am not a capitalist. I believe in degrowth and communalism. With that in mind, if we just start dropping our numbers at this rate any system we have will collapse. There is no way for human societies to work if the vast majority of its demographic are the elderly.
We are not doing “the planet” any favors by launching a civilizational collapse. Planned degrowth is not only better, it is literary the only way forward.

Honestly?
Your politics are irreverent, you are still Humans first and only.
The earth is in the middle of the sixth and fastest mass extension in the planets 3,500,000,000 years that life has existed.
It is only the second caused by a single species. The other was the great oxygenation event caused by Cyanobacteria.
The big difference is that we know the destruction we are causing and are doing nothing
Personally, the best thing that could have happened to planet earth would have been for COVID to have had a mortality rate of 30-95%.
I’ll admit that this answer broke me. I have no more avenues of dialogue
