The only way Earth isn't environmentally fucked is if we become an interplanetary species, move 70% of humans elsewhere, and designate most of Earth as a sort of National Park. Nobody is gonna clean up their act during their own industrial revolutions and no one can credibly make them 🤷

1. going to mars is psyops. it won't make us multiplanetary. it'll make us two-planetary. anything more is a physics problem not an engineering one. all and all, there's so much more we could do with engineering alone, but the real bottleneck is physics. 2. static thinking in a dynamic world: cleaning a river 100 years ago would've costed 10x of now for 1/10th of the results. because we can't clean the earth now doesn't mean we never will be able to. (not a reason for unnecessary pollution). that being said. i hope we go to mars soon. i hope we become multiplanetary.

If we don't escape this gravity well we're fucked.

Orrr we just stop polluting the environment and either let it recover or start terraforming earth to return it a healthy normal

I personally think we’ll be wiped out by natural disaster like all other species before we even get there

Naw, don’t worry. We’ll innovate. And Mr. Beast will work it all out.

Feels like moonbases + orbital stations likely for private enterprise (mining maybe) might be more realistic than Mars for humans living outside the earth biosphere Question I think about is rate of technological acceleration vs rate of pollution - kinda like escape velocity in longevity. Where does the crossover happen where we can clean our planet faster than we pollute it?

orr magnetic pole shift wipes out a decent % of population and infra and the climate settles into a new equilibrium

Not feasible to move a lot of people off world though. Would require enormous pollution and energy use to do. We can move things like data centers to space maybe depending on communication issues. I think to get to being interplanetary sustainably we have to master living in ecological balance on Earth first, while the technology develops.

And then we’d just wreck the next planet’s environment too. so our only option left would be to head for the sun or bounce to another galaxy😂

@cryptocellaris

at one point the earth was in a nice balance and then a new organism arrived that filled the entire atmosphere with poisonous gas that poison was oxygen earth can recover from a lot we can't turn the planet into venus unless we import hydrocarbons from off world anyway, all that carbon in gas deposits came from the atmosphere when earth had lots of life and at the point we can import gas from off world we just do industry on mars to heat it up instead as terraforming

Hard to argue with this. There is no chance we can agree on a policy to save the environment. The question is how bad will it be in the near future.
