It’s almost entirely what they mean, if not completely.
Humans largely don’t give a shit about the planet, only themselves, despite having the capacity to be better. To me, that almost makes what we are reaping eyes wide open, after eviscerating entire ecosystems (and other humans who lacked net worth or a flag, especially the ones whose culture lived in sustainable harmony with nature, they had to die) to build strip malls to feed our beloved sociopath’s greed disease feel fair to me.
Oh woe is us! The droughts, the hurricanes, the famines, what did we do to this planet to deserve this?! Fuck them animals we’re taking out with us by the way, the ones we didn’t already drive to extinction bulldozing the rainforest and the like, but oh woe is us!
In a way, I blame the asteroid that collided with Earth and killed the dinosaurs. No asteroid, no mammals taking over. No mammals taking over, no humans.
What we’re doing is practically a ripple from that collision.
It’s almost like “the people” are part of what people mean when they talk about “saving the planet”

No, most of those people literally think that “the planet is dying.” It isn’t. The planet doesn’t care.
But anyway. OP was quoting a bit from George Carlin.
