Unfortunately, a healthy nature is required to keep all those, it’s just not quite as visible or explicit as a bag of money.
What is not required is billions of profit going in the pockets of a few extremely rich investors though, that money could easily be used for improvements to our planet without impacting the livelihoods of anyone.
Yes, and no. I’m quite convinced that humanity can make a decent living for itself (i.e, more pleasant than that of the average current day human) even if we fuck up nature beyond our current day recognition. It’s worth considering that more than half of humanity lives in urban environments, and a majority of land area is cultivated in some way.
However, that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t worry, or shouldn’t try.
Earth is our heritage, and what we make of it will be the legacy that future humans remember the 21st century by. I’d much rather have our great-great grandkids frolicking in the grass under a pearl blue sky than in concrete caves to protect them from neverending storms and scorching deserts.
I don’t know. I rather doubt our bodies can evolve and adapt to a new environment before we die out. At the very least, even if we do take to the stars, whatever survives will have evolved to something new
