Is the earth really dying?

[Manders]

Not sure the earth is dying but it probably does have insipient pneumonia and its not neccesarily because of climate change.

IMHO the only definite thing is when something is born it starts to die.
And the biggest cause of death is birth.

[fairplay]

But on the whole, we are living longer.
This doesn't mean the earth is in better condition, just that we have discovered what it is that finishes us 'prematurely'.
