Scorching hot take, heard this week offline

"Climate change is actually a good thing because necessity is the mother of invention. If you have any faith in humans at all, climate change is just what we need to make humans an interplanetary species!" so-true

It's also a great way for mother Earth to teach us a hard lesson. How else are we to learn that we can't have whole species on one "basket". No, a good planet to start off on could mars. Now all we need is to invent, invest and grow the smart ones. It's just so hard to do so with so many yachts for sale.

Earth is the most hospitable planet to human life in the entire universe, and we seemingly can't even put in the meager effort to keep it habitable. What makes you think we'll be any better at making Mars habitable? Not just keeping it habitable as we've failed to do on Earth, but making it habitable in the first place.
