So what's your point? That we shouldn't care about climate change because "life goes on"? That's a pretty low bar. Personally I would like to preserve a future

Personally I would like to preserve a future both where humans can survive and some of Earth's great ecological diversity is maintained. Those systems can't "care" because they're not sentient, but I am.
- Dalewyn 4y agoMy point is that the concept of "El Ninos should happen <here>" is specifically a human perspective. As far as the planet and our peers are concerned, it doesn't really matter where such phenomena occur. Nature gonna nature and life gonna life. Besides that, personally I have no attachment to humanity in particular. Objectively, the planet would be much better off without us around. That's not to say I would go out of my way to not exist; I'm already here, might as well enjoy my time here. But I'm not going to go out of my way to "preserve humanity" or whatever either. Life has persevered without us before we came around, and life will persevere whether we exist or not.

- Dalewyn 4y agoIs it? In terms of how much we get along with the enrivonment compared to our peers, we do pretty horrible. The planet wouldn't care since it doesn't care about life one way or another, though; I grant you that.
- lavantgarde 4y agoRight. That was my point in response to your point that value judgements are reliant on human consciousness.
