Perhaps the plan is to reach sustainability by eliminating 90% of the population over a short period of time?

TFW your domestic policy makes Thanos look like the reasonable one.

I don't know, man. Thanos was way worse. Earth is what, 0.00000001% of the universe population?

But what if it isn't? What is Earth is really the only planet carrying self-aware species in the transportable distance?

Then yes. Thanos would be a more reasonable creature.

Would we consider nuclear annaliation a green project?

How else do you think the US is planning on meeting its climate goals? Certainly not by holding corporations accountable.
