Yeah, that’s the trajectory we’re on, for sure. But how long do we have until Earth is literally cooked?
This is the angle I take, and the reason I will always remain enthusiastic RE: space exploration.
However, I don’t go advocating for it in the same way I do more “surface-level” issues. My voice is better used in fixing the problems down here, yes, but I’m still supportive of space science, discoveries, and their ancillary contributions to science down here.
