In the words of my boy when he was 12 years old...

"People are stupid, we deserve everything we get"

Very interesting article asking the basic question, "Are we too stupid", humanity as a whole that is, to take the needed collective corrective actions to prevent tragic global climate change.


We are unquestionably too stupid, short sighted, greedy, unorganized, politically motivated, easily manipulated, uneducated, and lazy to save the planet.

We put a premium on "growth" like that is a good thing while every lifeform on the planet diminishes.

I see you still haven't managed to figure out that 'global climate change' is (1) ALWAYS happening, and that (2) it's NOT the same as 'Anthropogenic Global Warming'. See, the difference is that 'climate' is what 'weather' does OVER TIME ... it's CYCLICAL ... we, as a species, are too weak and too stupid to cause anything to happen on a planetary scale that would effect something like 'global warming'. In case no one has told you, be assured that 'global warming' is a complete FRAUD. It's designed to (1) control you, and (2) relieve you of all your money you thought you had ...
I don't know about you, but when I went to college almost a decade ago, and took a physics class this was basic education, and the conclusion THEN was that what you have said above is bovine poo.


We (being humanity) pump out something on the order of 65 giga tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere each year (that is in addition to the natural sources of carbon), and while most of that is absorbed by various natural carbon sinks, many of those sinks are reaching maximum capacity, and some are even being destroyed by other environmental abuses by humans. To pretend we cannot have an impact is to ignore a VAST array of data, to ignore basic science, and to ignore the VAST majority of professionals in the field, honestly I call BS on the totality of your post sir, and require a proper demonstration of your assertions to change my opinion of your knowledge on this topic.

It really baffles me that with all of this extremely verifiable change some still think human kind cannot impact our environment . . .

Ah, I see. So we can dump as much crap into the atmosphere as we like and it will have no effect? So I suppose I can go and run my car in the garage with the doors and windows closed and that too will have no effect on any lifeforms inside?


I'll wait ... hurry back ...
