We need to reorient the discussion of climate change away from the idea that we're destroying the Earth, because we're not. The Earth and the natural world will survive humanity, it's humans that won't survive. We'll destroy ourselves as well as some portion of animal life, but we will just be a small blip in the timeline of billions of years. It will only require one hundred thousand years or so for all traces of human kind to disappear after we've destroyed ourselves, but the Earth will have hardly noticed our existence.
