Well monkey, it's a dumb rock that has absolutely annihilated life on a mass scale in one cataclysm after another. We're inviting our own destruction by farting up a storm in a century that in previous cycles has taken tens of thousands or even millions of years to create.

You should have more respect for the dumb rock that gave rise the impossibly varied and rich life here. It's our only home in a vast, empty, and horribly inhospitable universe.
