Try asking those who believe Man has a significant effect on global warming a simple question. Tell me exactly and specifically what changes you propose. And then tell me exactly and specifically what results we will see and in what time period due solely to those changes. File this under makes you feel good about yourself but accomplishes nothing but higher energy prices.

If our species cared about our species' future, we would live with whatever energy generation our only habitat could environmentally tolerate/sustain, and we clearly wouldn't have bred to the point that the planet is pushing back. Instead we STILL demand growth/metastasis. "growth or die!" Oh the delicious gallows irony. Homeostasis should have been our species' business, but that ship has sailed.

Humans are so self-important that we don't even seem to care about how fragile our situation is, and we all know at some level we're going to be our own end.

I've been calling it human exceptionalism. If we found an organism that drives 150 other species extinct a day we would do our best to eradicate it permanently, but it's us so we ignore it.

No more children allowed. The problem will solve itself in a hundred years and the earth can begin its millions-of-years recovery process.
