We are not adding materials (…yet, mining asteroids isn’t that far fetched anymore), but we also aren’t removing any either and can recycle old stuff into new stuff. Also we get a constant supply of virtually limitless energy from the sun.
We can just recycle coal/natural gas/oil after burning it?
Indeed we can. That’s not to say we should keep burning those resources right now, but the carbon is not disappearing into an alternate universe either.
It’s a closed system as far as resources go. We’re not adding new material to the earth other than falling space debris and meteorites.

we’re not removing fossil fuels? We can just recycle coal/natural gas/oil after burning it? someone should tell that to all the scientists
Indeed we can. That’s not to say we should keep burning those resources right now, but the carbon is not disappearing into an alternate universe either.
