How much of our solar system should be protected wilderness?
Our unsustainable way of life has brought us to a climatological tipping point here on Earth. Do we want to bring the same unsustainable practices with us as we step out into the solar system?

Reuse, Recycle and reduce.
Growing Consumption = greed 🙁
Take power away from top and give it to everyone equally… Live as one and imagine change for all

Does this climatologist have even merest inkling of cosmology? This must be the very pit of foolishness. The ancient Greeks called it hubris. We call it overweening pride.

Throw away your fancy macbooks and iphones, cut you expenses and do not use resources without necessity. Because demand creates supply; overconsumption – need to harvest more. So all is needed to buying less things, take responsibility over your actions and stop whining that someone else must fix it. Before preaching what is “morally right”, show us your ecological footprint.

The conservation is based on the assumption that human race will not adapt and evolve. Who say human being will need water a few hundreds from now? Let great great great babies figure out!

Currently, no one can own a space resource. They can take what they can get though. The asteriod belt alone is worth $100,000,000,000 per person for the world population in today’s dollars according to NASA. We are talking about pieces of carbon, rock, and ice floating around in high radiation vacuum. Any “wilderness” in this context is really more about limiting humans and their progenitors (which would be Earth life and its genetically engineered offshoots). We can create canned biospheres inside of huge spinning structures with the materials from asteroids. I say we get up there and connect some of the proceeds from companies through a tax to establish a general fund which will distribute shares to all Earth citizens equally upon issuance which then grows with the revenue of the expanding space economy. This will be in addition to space companies also being purchasable through similar exchanges. With a world wide internet and some good checks and balances, perhaps we can significantly improve all people’s economic welfare without further burden on the Earth’s biosphere.
The arguments for these kinds of proposals do not stem from limitations on Earth resources. These people are selling the idea that we should consciously limit life which propagates by conscious mind….because whats the problem non-human panspermia? In any case, population will become logarithmic rather than exponential while economic growth can follow it as the poor climb. It is unlikely that technologically advanced society will grow like the years 1000-2000. Raising kids in space requires much more per person invested time and having 10 kids will be super impractical. Eventually, the majority live in space, Earth becomes depopulated and restored to pristine condition. Expanding to other solar systems and spreading around the galaxy or beyond shouldn’t be legally regulated by anyone.

That’s ridiculous. None of it should be protected. And we will certainly need more than 200 years to mine it all in the system. It sounds like people are falling for the malthusian trap once again.

What on earth makes you think that there is any possibility that we would do anything different in the future? We seem to be totally blind to history, so the saying that those that don’t pay attention to history are doomed to repeat it seems to be our fate. I have not seen anything that would indicate otherwise.

We as humans should look at both living in our solar system and bettering our way of life on Earth. Focus on using resources that are plentiful around us and reusable leaving a small footprint in the universe.

I think God is switching the temperatures where north pole and south pole is going to relocate to East and West it could become the new North Pole the newSouth Pole Then we will have to adapt to the new changes of that time Then it happens again when it happens again we will know how to live in space temporarily and return home every time this happens
