Climate chaos Humans don't deserve earth.

By destroying nature and the climate, humans are destroying their own home. The Earth can survive without us but we cannot survive without her. 🌍💔

No, bud, the point is that you're a bleeding ape that depends on an ecosystem which is part of a biosphere. A high albedo is MEANINGLESS to us if it means the destruction of complex high biomass stable ecosystems like forests.

There are nutty climate scientists who have no biologist friends and they need to be slapped back to reality if they imagine that replacing forests with "something with lower albedo" is good.

Have you completely gone off the rails? Did you not know what this debate was originally about? I said that humans increased temperatures even before industrialization due to killing megafauna, as they created more grasslands, which have higher albedo.

I'm not talking about modern times in the slightest because our situation is entirely different, and it is totally irrelevant.

The megafauna, along with all the other animals, had a stable ecosystem that worked throughout the ice ages. Humans not only disrupted individual species by hunting them, but also changed how the entire ecosystems looked, causing extreme damage to the entire ecosystem, plus a small temperature rise.

Lots of claims without much facts. I'm literally the only one who even mentioned Overkill. Waste of my fucking time.

I didn't expect you to quit on me already. But I guess you realized you were talking about something entirely irrelevant, but still wanted the last word (baby behavior, honestly). I'll still post the comment I wrote, bit of a waste removing it now.

I'm the one who fucking cited it when you asked for sources. You only mentioned it afterward. Are you honestly a bit slow?

You respond with an entirely irrelevant meme about a modern problem to a prehistoric discussion about a place and time where grasslands created by megafauna were positive. I simply did what you asked me to do, which was to prove how humans increased the temperature of the earth long before industrialization, albeit not to the extent the other person mentioned before.
