<<For another, the planet will still be here when you, me and homo sapiens are long gone>> Yes but it could be a more livable place for all living species ( if we would show some restraint )while we are here. What it's like when homo sapiens are gone isn't quite as important as while we are here. <<For one thing, the planet is just a ball of hot rock>> Oh please , you know damn well the discussion is about the entire ecosystem ! That's clearly what is meant by "the planet"...Why waste time with such nonsense? <<And for another, the planet's been trying to kill us for a long time,>> True "survival of the fittest" has created every fiber of our being . But now that it has done it's job perhaps it's time to be laid to rest.After all we in civilized countries try our best to eliminate it with regards to ourselves. Today our unprecedented dominance has now given us a choice like never before in all of the earth's history. Either continue to play out the survival mode with regard to other species which would mean a planet containing a sea of humanity and our domesticated animals dotted with a few islands of wildlife. Or a planet who's ecosystem is rich with the incredible natural diversity and balance that took hundreds of millions of years to create....And ya know what? The generation a hundred years from now and until the end of our time will have to do nothing different to achieve this goal than they will be doin anyway...ZERO POPULATION GROWTH.... It's up to US.
