Dumb question: climate change is inevitable, right? If it is not inevitable, please correct me. My intuition comes from the Ice Age. The planet warms up and then cool down cyclically, right? If it is inevitabile, sooner or later the planet will warm up where life as we know will be unsustainable, right? We might have accelerated the warming phase, but it would have happened anyway?
So, my question is why are we panicking about it? I'm not even sure that we as human are completely responsible for the warming up (what big ego we have?). There are other species which are in trillions and don't even bat an eye about being overpopulated? Why this burden only on us? Why the burden of protecting a species is on us? Why we have such a big ego to think that we are running the solar system and the earth?

- magic-chicken 4y agoI don't know what ego has to do with this to be honest. If you regognize that human behavior has an impact on climate change (and the science is clear that it does), don't you have a moral obligation to do something about it, regardless of your ego and intuition?
