Would discovery of another habitable planet for humans solve problems or create new ones?
Assume for example that we can breathe on Mars, grow plants and all that. And it is indeed reachable.
Would it lead to humanity solving issues on future population growth, present climate change debacles or would it lead to chaos and wars with superpowers vying for control on that “second Earth?”
In short, would discovery of such a planet make us better human beings to each other and to our home planet?
