While infrastructure and technology keeps advancing, our natural resources suffer. Sure there are people who tries to save our planet by diving into the water and collecting trash, or encouraging anyone to recycle or stop using plastic. But is it enough? If it is, then why are we still experiencing climate change? Could this be the start of the destruction of our planet?
Why you so negative? You are like the doomsayers during the Roman Empire asking if this is the end of Rome while Nero enjoys seeing his beloved city burn. The planet Earth would still be here after we are long gone. 4 billion more years before it will be disintegrated by an enlarging Sun turning into a red giant. People will try to fix the planet one way or another. Or perhaps, climate change might be Earths way of cleaning the mess created by humans. The sea rises, doesn't matter in a world without humans. The sea level drops, doesn't matter also, we are but small ants in a very big world.
He has raised valid points though, ngl. We are as you said, like ants in a big world, but we can't deny that our brains are not like that of ants or of any other living being in the world (or in the universe). Just think about it, if we are the only intelligent living creature in the whole of the infinite universe, shouldn't we do more than just sitting and letting mother nature finishes us like it did to dinosaurs? We should do more, use this brain gift, and utilize it to the fullest so that we can fight the entropy of human race and reverse its progress and saving the species as whole, like with other planet colozination, or using moon's surface for growing crops? So much we can do!
