Originally posted by dang65Yeah, but we weren't here at the time to be affected by it. This time we are.
We, in "the west" wear the continuous millstone of global responsibility, and seem to think we are the worlds saviour, that we can (and more importantly, should) cure everything from geo-political issues, starvation in Africa, Flooding in the third world, melting of the polar ice sheet.Comment

Originally posted by wobbegongOf course we're affected by it, but it doesn't mean we've caused it all.
Whether climate change is being caused by human activity or nature or a combination of the two is pretty much irrelevant FFS. It's happening and it's going to have an enormous impact on our way of life, to put it mildly.Comment

Originally posted by dang65Why do people feel that it's so important to establish that it's not our fault? Why does that matter when we're in such imminent danger?
Originally posted by dang65You didn't get people in the war saying, "Yes, I'll fight the Germans, but I just want everyone to know that it wasn't my fault they started the war. I'm not going to fire a shot till I've got that in writing."

Originally posted by wendigo100So, as the oil runs out we'll create less CO2 and the climate will return to normal.
Phew! That's a relief!Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
