Certainly linked but not equal. The wants and needs of mankind come before the wants and needs of the ecosystem. I don’t dispute climate change or the fact that a great deal of it is man-made. But it’s not the end of the world. We’ll find a way to deal with it.
Somewhere I read that 99% of all species that have lived on Earth are extinct. They have come and gone. Salmon, spotted owls, humans, passenger pigeon, etc., all have their time to come and go.
