How long do you think our planet has left?

So where everyone is going on about plastic and stuff damaging nature and all that. What about the real question. How long do you think our planet has before the ozone layer is destroyed by global warming and our nature killed by man.

I hope more people will begin to realize how vulnerable it is and alter behavior and, hopefully, at least stop further ruination and at best begin a reversal of damage. Unfortunately, under the current administration, the US refuses to be the lead in this!

@samueltyler2 In fact, "vulnerable" is the very last thing this planet is, and the minuscule effect of human life on the planet is little more than a gnat bite. It has survived ice ages, massive 'snowball earth" glaciation, collisions with asteroids, temperatures massively above today's norms, Global volcanic eruptions on a scale unimaginable to us. Higher oceans, lower oceans. At least three orogenic periods, the last been the recent tertiary orogeny.

The idea of a vulnerable earth is the brainchild of catastrophist econuts.
