Whoever says "humans are destroying the planet" commits a fallacy, implying that the organism is distinct from the environment.

Humans (organism) and the environment is a single field of action. 2 sides of a coin. Cannot "destroy" one side of a coin.

This is why Darwin used "organism" as a short-form for "organism-environment" and "environment" for the same.

There are no organisms without environments and vice versa. The y are the inside and outsides of a glove, part of one inextricable whole.
