I feel like manufacturing the collapse of the very ecosystems that sustain our civilization might be a steep price to pay for a short moment's increase in living standards. But i guess as long as we're all dead before the time to repay the debt comes, we can pretend like we're self-made millionaires and not living on borrowed money?
Most humans throughout history lived in close-knit farming communities where they shared their home with a large family and met their neighbours every single day. What sort of secluded farms are you imagining?
This all feels a bit like arguing against the use of cardinal directions because they don't make sense unless you learn them first.
If you use left and right for the ship, you wouldn't be able to use personal left and right without risking ambiguity. You'd just be trading one convenience for the other.
They can be very easy to miss as most of them piggyback on the great swarms of flying spiders, centipedes, and trees migrating north each year to repopulate the barren wastelands after the great freeze has killed all but the warm-blooded lifeforms.
Anyone who put even a minute of effort into looking up the well-researched and publicly available information on the topic rather than defaulting to ignorance could have told you this.
Insects have numerous different strategies to make it through cold winters, either as eggs, larvae, or adults. Some can tolerate partial freezing, some lower the freezing temperature of their bodies in order not to freeze at subzero temperatures. These are combined with finding shelter inside tree stumps or bark, under leaves or rocks, or even underwater, granting them a layer of insulation and protection from the wind and the worst cold.

The reason we care about emissions is due to their effect on the atmosphere, of which there is one.
We don't get a free pass to emit more as our population increases. The atmosphere doesn't magically adjust. The effect of emissions on the climate is invariant of our population, and we need to act accordingly.
That most mammals are color blind is nothing more than a myth. A few select are, like the marine mammals, but the vast majority are dichromats with red/blue color receptors.
The last common ancestor was in fact a trichromat, having one red and two different blue receptors. When mammals diverged further, monotremes lost one of the blue receptors while other mammals lost the other.
What did reevolve in groups such as marsupials and apes was the green color receptor, which was present in older ancestors, but had been lost in the first mammals.
