They are fine. When we start dying, they will still be fine.
yes, that is one side of the debate. The other side, of which there is far more evidence, is that earths resources are not "fine" ... but I do enjoy the "nuh uuh" argument when people like myself express concern about our planet.
Define "not fine".

I think the human race will be driven to the very brink of extinction before it can stop destroying this planet. Earth will be fine ... eventually ... as long as the majority of us aren't on it. Sadly.
I dislike the vainglorious word "destroy" thrown around in relation to our planet. Our civilization's industry and economy depends on the preservation of a much more strongent set of environmental conditions on the earth then is required by bulk of the ecosystem to survive. If we actually set out to destroy the planet, our civilization will keel over and croak from the initial effects long before we go far enough to endanger the earth's carrying capacity for life in the long run.
