you see? climates changes without us, to think that humanity, a tiny insignificant issue in world geological history, can destroy all life, that's just arrogance, over playing our role in things, can we kill everything? we can hardly kill ourselves, let alone destroy the world
egotistica, that's all it is, egotistical environmentalists, thinking that humantiy is so great and effective that we can take out an entitre world.
losers.
I agree that with you on that Ollie. Did you know that 17,000 scientists signed a pettition declaring that they didn't agree with global warming?! It turns out that the readings measuring temperature were surface readings done in Urban areas. Urban areas generate their own heat, and the cities have been generating more heat over the years. (More cars, more electicity used, etc.) The readings from weather balloons and satelites from a mile or so above the earth have shown that there has been very little change in temperature for the past few decades.
The thing I don't like about the enviro<i>mentals</i> is that many of the more rabid ones think that humans are some scourge that is unnatural and that all that is manmade is a detrement to the world.
Hello?! We evolved on this planet too, and we are a part of it just as much as the goddamn squirrels are. The only difference is that rather than adapt to the environment, we adapt the environment to ourselves. So, we have a choice about how we want to shape our environment. We want parks to hike in? We will set them aside. We want cars? We build a factory and make some cars. We want clean water? We build better water treatment systems. We want clean air? We make cleaner burning engines.
The thing is that if we want it, we can have it if we use our technology, but this is exactly what most environmentalists blame for the alleged devastation wrought by humanity. They are neo-luddites who will only bring more misery to this world, and accomplish nothing.
Well, thats my rant. Let the flames begin!
