@digital_wyrm@mastodon.online No, Im not missing that... I have clearly stated we have done a lot of damage, and it is perfectly valid to say "we are killing life on the planet"... we are, its true, no arguments there.

But there is a big leap between "we are killing" and "we have killed off **all** life capable of CO2 sequestering" as you claimed... Yes we killed things, but there is no indiciation there is an unstoppable runaway reaction that will kill off all life right now even if we stopped 100% of the bad shit we do... none at all.

In fact every indication is that while there **is** a point where things begin a run away reaction that could lead to a mass extinction we just arent there yet... we've identified a lot of those scenarios and have reasonablly ok ideas as to how to detect them and where the tipping point is... and the truth is, we have **not** passed it yet, but we very well may if we dont get our shit together.

Its simply not as hopeless as you suggest, even if it is bad and does deserve serious action.
