We WILL colonise Mars. You might think it's absurd, I don't. As we both have no real arguments besides "just look at it", we're both just as correct.

Well you're a climate denier (as you showed in another comment), I don't have anything more to tell you. BTW, "because I don't know means that I'm not wrong" is dumb, and dangerous.

  Climate denier is a bit harsh - I tend to ask questions people don't want answered, and then get thrown into that camp, true. Let me be clear: the climate IS changing, I just doubt that it's mostly caused, or potentially solved by, human behavior. It's a great way to sell some solar panels, though. EDIT: also, let me be clear (because I know how your brain works): I love that we're getting cleaner air. I love that we find alternative sources of energy. That's all amazing! But I predict there's never a "finish line". We'll never do good enough, and our kids will always die. Or our kids' kids. I'm not affected by that thought anymore.

    > I just doubt that it's mostly caused [...] by human behavior. Yep, climate denier. You put your belief before the scientific consensus. You may as well believe that the Earth is flat, it would not be less valid than your current position. Except that your kids won't die because of the Flat Earthers, probably. > It's a great way to sell some solar panels, though. Sure, many people try to sell their shit pretending it is "green". Tesla comes to mind (or Tesla before it became the nazi brand, I don't know nowadays). > We'll never do good enough, and our kids will always die. Well your kids will probably live in wars, global instability and die because of the climate change. Sure, they would eventually die anyway. Keep what you are saying now in mind, for when you'll have the discussion with your kids in a couple decades. Remember to tell them "we're living in a shit world, uh? Back in the days, I was one of those people who proudly didn't care. Enjoy now."
