Everyone saying that Earth is not an isolated system. You're right and wrong at the same time. Obviously there is a universe that we belong too. But we are fortunate to be in the "Goldilocks Zone" and our planet can survive with US on it. This makes it, from the human perspective of survival, an isolated system. As George Carlin said in response to "save the planet" folks .. "The Earth will be fine, you are worried about yourself." He's right. Our survival is unsustainable. Beside the last line in the first verse reads, "an economy based on endless growth is unsustainable." So, I think he's talking about systems within systems here, not just the Earth. Basically, the way some nation's economies are set up will lead to our survival coming to an end. And I, personally, agree with that 100%.
