Given so many like you dismiss the much bigger threat of global warming I would say many would.

Not relevant that people like you will dismiss settled sciences for political or religious bias.

perhaps, but is Kessler considered "settled" by your measure?

It is not unreasonable to recognize that this is a growing danger for future spaceflight, though, so far, it does not yet seem to present an insurmountable hazard to current activities in space. However, it is not nearly as unreasonable and dangerously irresponsible as denying the reality and danger of human caused climate change. The latter is very nearly as stupid and irrational as denying heliocentrism and that the planet we live on is a rotating spheroid.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Maybe Subbie does worry about Global warming and is worried that he will not be able to safely exit earth to another planet.

Of course! That must be it! Thanks for that insight! :wink:

Yes, but only if we can make it in less than twelve parsecs.

I assure you that my worry(s) for a safe exit is not due to any of your faith based exaggerations.
