I'll tell you what I don't believe. I don't believe in destiny. I also don't believe we should rely on the earth to self-correct on its own, especially if we're its stewards in any capacity.
If things go severely wrong, there is no plan B. There is no escape route.
The earth will likely be here long after we're gone. Self-correcting.
