In the end, the planet will endure. We'll be the ones that go extinct, as many other species have. At least that's the way it should all play out.
And gosh yes, we've certainly snuffed out a swath of animals on our path to our own eventual destruction. For that alone, we've forfeited any right we ever might have had to this glorious planet. With any luck, the next dominant species will be a tad bit wiser than we proved to be.

Don't worry Carnifex none of us will be alive when that happens.
Seriously that type of scenario is still a few hundred years away. Anyway one thing you can learn from history is mankind is stubborn, and always finds a way to survive.
As for the moon yeah I was reading about that earlier this week. I read another article about the sun cooling down and solar flares should stop for a while. A mixed bag.

What I'm wondering is why Musk, Bezos & Co. aren't jumping at the chance to become saviours of humanity by building a space sunshade (also, think of the supervillain potential of controlling such a structure!).

Besides if you feel the need to educate yourself further, shouldn't those books be in the top of your backlog given the crisis we are already in?

On the bolded part. No that's now how it works. You don't allow random people giving talks on flat earth ideas in universities. It's not to do with the amount of evidence available, but about giving debunked ideas a platform to spread misinformation.
Universities are the good place for these meetings, it's how you make progress, banning specialists from open discussions and forcing a one-way discourse is usually not how we do things here

I'm not worried at all, honestly. In my youth I was a real shite, yet I feel my karma is in a good place these days. Fear is the mind killer, after all, I try to live in a world of peace and harmony. Mostly on my porch.
