We act as if there are 1000 Earths. We are good at deceiving ourselves. The blind goal of limitless economic growth will destroy the Earth as a host. Earth will go to Mars faster than we can fly there. It is always aliens who willfully destroy the Earth. They allow the moral guilt of our climate sins to be dumped on them. The biggest threat to humanity is ourselves: We are the aliens.
