It can repair itself, we just needed to stop putting aerosols into the air. Same deal now, apparently China needs to get its shit together and stop using the chemical the whole world already decided to stop using.
Yep, it’s pretty amazing how much not destroying the environment helps it recover… although the closer we get to a collapse, the more that ability to bounce back diminishes
Literally every aspect of our world is in a balance… Everything wears down over time, so the current state is basically a homeostasis between biological, geological, and astrological forces. The problem is that humans act on a far shorter time scale - 100 humans could cut down trees faster than a forest can regrow, 8 billion can change the atmospheric composition in a decade or two
It shrank for decades. Been growing for a little while. Now reaching the size it was when the world banded together to fix it.
Tbh, I didn’t know that it could shrink. Thought that once we fucked up, that was it

Oof. I wonder how big of an impact that would make if a country that big made a change.

Sadge. Wish I learned more about this when I was younger and that kids these learn early enough.
