Climate Change? Nahhh ...

What is responsibility? To whom or what? Can you have a concept of it outside of your belief that you are the 'top species'?

Shit just happens. Nobody decided anything. And whatever comes about is the same as the creation of the first cell. It fucking happened.

 

Well, let's see ... apes or whales haven't been to the moon or performed a heart transplant, so yeah, I'd say we are the top species on the planet.
Responsibility? How about to the planet and what is morally right?
When your house gets struck by lightning and catches fire, are you going to give your best effort save it or say "shit just happens"?

 

Irrelevant comparison. An individual event is different from any evolutionary process.

Why are going to the moon or performing heart transplants proofs of being the top species? Again, you can only make those assertions from the perspective of being human. There is no ideal. We don't what can happen.

 

An evolutionary process is one thing an unnatural acceleration is another. If the planet is becoming (quickly) unviable for other species, what does that mean for us?

And on a less apocalyptic scale, the elimination of certain cogs in the biome can give rise to things that are dangerous to us and those things that feed us. If you want to know our responsibility, as the species that is causing most of this, how about doing what we can to keep our species alive?

 

How about that no other species on the planet is capable of making changes and developing technology to mitigate or delay climate change? If not us, who? If not now, well... screw around long enough and it will cascade and become irreversible. I won't live to see it get really bad, but the changes are there and obvious if you are not willfully refusing to acknowledge them.

 

Stop flying on planes then. People should stop traveling. It'd make a huge difference.

 

maybe just drive a little less

 

Friend of mine in Australia lost his house on New Years Eve. Bushfires out of control.

 

We are the only species capable of knowingly wiping itself out.

Many think global warming is a fast track to doing that.

 

Refusing to do anything to slow or mitigate global warming certainly is.

whatever, dude, species go extinct all the time, it's normal, enjoy arby's
