It is much easier to destroy something than it is to repair it. This applies to the original changes we made through exploitation, pollution, etc. But also to the radical change you propose, it is much easier for it to have a destructive effect compared to having a positive effect.

I agree on the first part of what you said.

But we aren't fixing the problem either way so what's really at stake?
