Why do people want to save the planet?

people tryna stop the world's extinction for the future generation so they can actually see trees/ animals, ur being a bit pessimistic don't ya think

Are you asking a question or making a statement?

I'm not being pessimistic at all I'm saying why interfere with nature? We interfere with nature we create more damage than if we don't.

'Our obsession' is in order to save future generations of people and animals and wildlife. To believe otherwise is narrow-minded.

But what are we saving when 99.9% of animals that ever lived are extinct? Don't think we're doing a good job of saving anything because we can't-we care too much about this planet yet we can't do a thing to turn the tide of nature. As far as being narrow-minded is concerned, that's not a bad thing when it's more accurate than having a broad mind and being delusional.

Here’s what I don’t understand:

The world has to end some time, it cannot possibly last forever. If nothing else, the sun will eventually run out of energy. This means all humans and animals will eventually go extinct. This is fact.

We cannot prevent this from happening, but perhaps we can delay it. But why do people care so much about delaying it? At this rate it’s not going to happen within your lifetime anyway. You won’t be around to experience it, so what difference does it make to you?


Now you might say “well I care about future generations, I don’t want my children to experience it either”. But even if we delay it so that the next generation doesn’t experience it, the generation after it will. Or if not, the one after that. It has to happen some time. Whether it happens 200 years from now or 2000 years from know, why does it make any difference to any of us?

In fact, surely it’s better if it happens sooner rather than later, while the population of Earth is low, so fewer people have to experience it.

It's funny how you say "humans are obsessed with saving the planet" when in reality, the lack of obsession is causing the planet to die.

We should concern ourselves with the planet if we want to continue living?? Do you not want to live, what's your deal
We gonna live in a dystopia real soon.

Humans are destructive and are the cause of mass extinction and harm to the planet. As we're responsible, it's only right that we try and put it right.
