Satire for right now. There's been more serious talk of blocking in various ways, and eventually the heat will push us in trying something. And it might even work for a bit, until it doesn't.

Humans should stop messing with the earth. Any attempt to ward off the destruction of the human race will simply make it worse. Humanity needs to end.

This is easily disproven. If I cut myself with a knife, modern medicine allows me to heal faster and better than otherwise.

Some might call it a deep grave! Maybe Mother Earth should just fill in the hole

Highlander 2, it's old as fuck at this point but it's worth the watch to see how it could go wrong, but then again we could have pseudo gods/aliens from the future chopping each others heads off all over the place.
