Believe it or not, the planet has little to fear from farting cattle or the internal combustion engine. It's the human infestation that causes all of the manageable changes - be it to the environment, climate, or biosphere. There are lots of other variables, but those mankind cannot do anything about. It's doubtful that the earth can sustain the current 7.5billion population, let along the projected 8.5+ in only 11 years from now. But short of a good war or global epidemic (neither of which are likely, or likely to leave an inhabitable planet), I don't have an answer.

I probably have a few dozen more trips around the sun than most of you, and figure I've earned the right to live my remaining years without being overly concerned about things I cannot fix. I've done my bit - I did not procreate. When my wife and I go, we're the end of our line, and we won't have added another human or two to burden already stretched resources.

How did this get from a thread about a Nissan EV concept to a philosophical argument about the state of the globe and pseudo-science, anyway???

Anyway, for those "dreaming about Tesla", I'd suggest the very real Porsche Taycan which will probably take the wind out of the new Tesla sales - sports car and SUV variants at reasonable (for Porsche) prices, with the performance, cachet, and quality that the brand implies.
