Global warming is only a problem for a biosphere. Advancements in AI may mean that civilization relies less and less on a biosphere.

A truly terrible thing, and if we were to proceed by putting civilization first over the biosphere, it would show how truly terrible we are.

That's the general pattern of technology. It makes us rely less on the biosphere, and in turn makes us more dependent on it. But since it is destructive, it also actively destroys the biopshere, which is the way technology grows 'organically'. It's a disease.

Ah, the pro-extinction TESCREAL ideology rears its ugly head. What a time we live in. You guys know you're doing Christianity for atheists right? Heaven and god's infinite grace is coming for those that believe.
