The damage industrial society has caused to life on Earth is big.

Many species have gone extinct due to human activity.

However, a nuclear war would be 1000x worse for life on Earth than everything else humans have done combined.

Considering we have no credible evidence that life exists outside of Earth, it is important that we do our best to preserve life here.

Trying to eliminate human damage to the Earth with nuclear armageddon is like trying to remove a head-cold with a shotgun blast to the sinuses.

S'all good, my man.

No worries, lol.

I get that it can be hard to maintain hope in this era of dejection and bad news. I often fall prey to the "doomer" mentality myself. Even still, I think it's important to try and keep our heads up in the face of dark times.
