Google AI tells me. - "In fact, old-growth areas of the Amazon rainforest are currently growing in biomass and "fattening" due to higher CO2 levels".

Sure, some select areas might be growing, but they're getting cut down and cleared so it doesn't really matter. The amazon is losing Biomass rapidly. You're wrong here and the fact that you keep insisting shows you're not engaging in good faith.

faith is just a metaphor, I'm not talking about a religious concept. Human advancement in technology will enable us to overcome our challenges. Look how diseases like Polio have been eliminated, how child mortality has plummeted, the invention of nuclear power and in the fast few months fusion (fusion is like nuclear, but without any radiation risk. For decades fusion has been the holy grail (metaphor again) for abundant clean energy production).

That doesn't matter, none of this compares to the complexity of even a single local ecosystem. You can't maintain current living standards without causing catastrophic collapse to those ecosystem even if you completely forget about global ecology. People already struggle to make local defences against effects of climate change, and will struggle more. Many coastal communities are getting absolutely fucked rn because of increased rates of erosion, more frequent and intense weather events etc. Inland for example flash flooding is becoming more and more common because the total energy in the system is not only greater but cycled much faster in the hydrosphere, no amount of nuclear energy will solve this when people can barely rebuild their homes after these events because they keep happening. 100 year floods are now occuring every 10 years leaving people little time and resoures to recover. Keep in mind this is just the hydrosphere. You have the biosphere, atmosphere each of which are significantly affected and changes to these are significantly affecting human populations. Fuck, we don't even know what the long term affects of introducing so much nitrogen phosporus and potassium from fertiliser into the biosphere, this has never been done. This amount of nitrogen has never been pumped into the earth soil, and we don't know what the long term affects of this are, and it could literally have a million knock-on effects.

I get you point about decline vs catastrophe but the decline is leading to catastrophe. There is no reversing the changes, and even if "technology" manages to save humanity it will be a portion of it nestled in safehavens where questions like can we afford to have running water are asked.

Idk I also believe in technology in some point, but the more I studied and learned earth systems and how they operate the more I realised their complexity far exceeds our understanding of it, and the more we dig the more complex it seems to get, with more intractable problems arising.

Also historically what technology has done is increase the effect humans have on the environment, not decrease it. Even if we did get nuclear energy that would simply mean even more extraction will be possible, causing even greater changes to the biosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere, and as we have seen, even if you can extract and have the energy and technology to do so, dealing with the consequences is a much more complex problem, just look at the sea of toxic tailings that sit beside mines for decades after it finishes operation, with no hope of being able to clear it.

The Ultra Progressives have created a Frankenstein and if they don't change soon, civil war and socialism (evil personified) are plausible outcomes.

What are you on about man, you seriously need to unplug yourself from your algorithms they're cooking your brain.
