Yep, this place will soon be uninhabitable. I suggest all the Liberals leave immediately.

Deforestation: Naturally occurring Fires and regrowth.
Carbon Dioxide : Plant Food, Human and Animal Exhale, Vital to life
Nitrogen: Plant food, Natural, Vital to life
Phosphorous : Again, Plant food, Natural to the planet, Vital
Yawn....
Can we get something more alien to the planet, like Meteors or Spaceships from Mars?

We’re obviously running out of ways to kill the planet. We need toput some more people on that.

Fortunately, we are nowhere near the planetary boundary for research grants. We can safely pour unlimited amounts of money into think tanks like the Stockholm Resilience Center without destabilizing the global environment any further.

Yes, there are billions and billions of human beings on earth right now, but we still only inhabit a small percentage of the earth. Some say that about 3% of the earth’s surface has been urbanized for living. We may want to explore floating cities.

could [emphasis added] cease to be a safe operating space for human beings." Yes, the earth could fill up with people like a petri dish could fill up with bacteria.
On the other hand, theres that CYA word could which indicates uncertainty.
