Well since it's literaly us vs the planet (since we seem to be unable to regulate our society's consumption of finite resources), the question is : does the planet exist for us to consume it ?
The answer is no, but we'll still consume it.
Do we deserve to live ? Well outside of society, there is no reason we're deserving it more than any living being. And sometimes I clearly wonder, when some individuals contribution is a big negative legacy for the next ones, and to the planet.
Tbh I do not mean we (humans) do not deserve to live, but I clearly wouldn't want it taken for granted, cause it is not.
That varies quite a bit by country. Capitalist systems have no problems with destroying the world, but socialist countries are better able to plan production and distribution. You can see this in action in the PRC right now, and its major shift towards renewables and electrification at an astounding scale.
