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.

About 4 billion years.

Oh, you mean just the biosphere? Yeah, man, that's toast. Fuggitaboutit.

The ozone layer has been repairing itself pretty well for a while now — that problem wasn't caused by climate change, but rather various pollutants released into the atmosphere. I'm not as hopeful we'll be able to reverse climate change as readily.

@DunningKruger the ozone level has been repairing itself primarily because of interventions designed to do just that.
