You do realize that the great oxygenation event was accompanied by one of the most massive mass-extinctions in the history of the planet?
Puts your “all this stuff has happened before” “argument” into some perspective. This stuff hasn’t happened before in, let’s say, the last 10,000 years. You know, the years in which agriculture was invented and the global human population ballooned from somewhere on the order of 100,000 to 7 freaking billion?
No argument that the planet is going to do what it’s going to do. But it would be nice to avoid the inevitable violence, terror, and cruelty that would be inevitably involved if potable water or food ran short of being able to support such a high global population of human beings if this is at all possible.
Which I doubt it is thanks in no small part to folks like yourself who see a tautology and think to themselves “brilliant argument!”
