God I hate this argument. It pops up in every thread about climate change. Yes, yes, we know. The "Earth" is a rock, space, mater, existentialism, George Carlin thinks the earth wants plastic, blah, blah, blah. We're talking about our got damn descendants.
- yters 6y agoWhat you are saying would make sense...but on the other side the counter argument is to eliminate large portions humanity in order to save the planet.... So, what 'global warmers' are really arguing for is to preserve the lifestyle of the few rich western countries on this earth, at the expense of the other poorer countries. But, that is already what the garbage and pollution spewing capitalists are doing. At the end of the day, both sides agree that Thanos got it right.
- alharith 6y agoIt's not an argument, it's a statement designed to point out the sheer hubris of thinking we actually matter, which is the root of all of the world's problems: human pride. If you hate it that much, it was probably meant for you.
- abootstrapper 6y agoThat’s bullshit. It’s a statement designed to sound intellectual, but it’s tired and unhelpful. Climate change is a tangible, human made problem, and it can be solved for the betterment of future humans. If we care to.
