    I'll give spook this. He's moved on from just harboring resentment toward white American males and now hates all of humanity.

    Triggered. Haha.

    I mean, China and India are definitely not helping the human parasite effect.

    It's probably worth noting that all of these ecosystems start with microbial populations and insects as well, industrial farming does a pretty effective job of killing off or poisoning a large portion of the food chain required for healthy ecosystems.

    Another point would be the drastic changes to our environment since the industrial revolution. We basically took what nature evolved over thousands of years and forced it to adapt or die in the span of a fraction of that. Some populations will thrive, most others will die quickly. I guess it really shouldn't be a surprise.

    I blame Communists, Capitalists, and the Religious. So, pretty much everybody.

    Mountain people have less kids so they don't cut into their fun time.
    Send fun time to India.

    Earth will exfoliate soon enough

    Yeah we are due for a good purge. Rinse and repeat. The real question is are we going to get off this rock in time or will we be part of the boom. If we could put a little more effort into figuring that out I'd be happy.

    Yeah, those Mars and other space movies look fun for 2 hours. But living that life? Nah. I am old enough that I would rather go down with the ship. Just make it quick though. Let that meteor hit me square on the head in a perfect situation.

    If we have the technology and motivation to make Mars a habitable planet, why can't we make Earth an habitable planet again?
    Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

    In case you haven't noticed on your interstellar travels, it's habitable already. At least compared to Venus and the others.

    We can't make Earth a habitable planet because no one is willing to make the sacrifices to their lifestyle to do so. Our fearless leaders certainly aren't willing to make policy changes that will further it either because they will just get voted out of office because no one wants to make those sacrifices. Hell I drive a truck that gets 14mpg and consume electricity and have a pretty significant carbon footprint but not seeing any change unless it's forced.

    As long as we can figure out some way to go fast down Martian mountains I'm good with planet hopping.

    Do 500lb skis carry like 10 in space?
    And no tree runs? I'm out.

    Nice deflection, but doesn't distract from the fact that it's your Chinese homeboys that like to grind up endangered tiger balls and rhino horn for boner pills while you lecture us like we're the bad guys. No doubt we all play a role in the decline of nature, BUT there are far worse offenders to be focusing on when it comes to this topic. Don't forget. It was within my lifetime that they wiped out their Yangtze River dolphin.

    Either way, we surely have some good back and forth discourse at times?
