I am not denying the damage, but I am trying to say, that we should still be proud of the scale and power we actually have.
Instead, this slight change in mindset is what will make us capable of facing the comming threads. We cannot let nature return to order. That won't be possible ever again. But we can start an actual geo-engineering and be proud of the new responsibility.
For instance, people are finally starting to argue, if it's possible to re-claim the deserts. There is nothing natural about that. But, it is absolutely something, we should be putting on posters instead of reducing carbon through artificial pandemics.
Nature was always being engineered by us. This became true the moment we developed sapience.
