For a minute, I thought you were making a joke because this was actually upvoted. This whole passage from you would be a brilliant quote for the optimism and ignorance of humans that will bring on future environmental problems.

I don't buy into that "Evil humans destroy nature!" shit. I really don't

You don't have to call it "evil." Humans aren't trying to destroy the environment(Well, most aren't). It's called capitalism. It's called consumerism. It's called 7+ Billion people who each require 1000x more resources than your average mammal. 7+ Billion people who tear up the land and segregate animal and plant population, essentially raping biodiversity with the cities and roads you're so fond of.

Also, yes we are bad for the environment right now, but getting better every day. It isn't like we have some insatiable hunger for destroying nature.

What is getting better, exactly? Sure, our methods and strategies are getting better - but any environmental scientist will agree that this is a DIRE and very serious time for the environment that cannot be "fixed" by us within any foreseeable future. You do know that humans have already caused centuries of irreversible damage, right? - That if we stopped all pollution today, we would still have a carbon increase for two hundred years? Other aspects of the biosphere don't even have a coherent timeframe on how long it would take to restore - it might never happen.

And to be quite honest Earth isn't some sacred rock we should be sworn to protect. We should ensure that it can suit our needs and that's it.

Okay, now I'm starting to see that "Evil humans destroy nature shit" you were referencing.

We know millions of lifeless planets, but only 1 civilization. In my book that civilization is more special than the planets. Earth should be our launch pad, not our savior.

No surprise here. There seems to be a trend among people like you, that believe the environment is infinitely resilient and technology/industry has few consequences: "If we do happen to make a big oops, and kill all that is living, we'll simply move to another planet!" Look, technology is very impressive and I fully support astronomy, NASA, etc. but these pipe dreams need to stop when also talking about the environment. The technology to do such a thing will not come about until long after we have to save ourselves from a massive environmental problem, or we're all dead.

This is all just my opinion. Unpopular as it may be, I stick by it.

It's a dangerous opinion. In all honesty, do you know a lot about environmental science? Biology, Ecology, Atmospheric science, soil science? It's not just a bunch of bullshit. It is accredited scientists trying to figure out just how bad the current environmental situation is. If you read into it, you might figure out just how delicate this time in human history is.
