and climate change nay-sayers haunt me. Global warming and melting ice and stupid people haunt me.gilbertR1

So really, I’m no idiot. I understand that that time as we shortlived humans count it hardly matters when it’s held up to geoligical timelines. I also understand that our Mama is and our surrounding Universe is aging and changing in its own mysterious ways. Understanding that climate changes are part of that process however, does not give validity to the argument against our part in having an effect on the earth and our part in global warming. That’s what we call a fallacy in logical thinking.

Let’s get real. Of all the mammals on this earth since the very dawn of life, has ever a species changed as much of the planet as we do? Levelling mountains for ores and coal (is coal an ore? *hmmmm). Razing rainforests to graze cattle? Paving millions of miles for cities and roads? Poisoning our air and water…

Who can be so stupid as to believe that these things (and countless others, I’m sure) have not had and are not having an effect on our world? Or does anyone really think that? Are the folks that say it just the people who want to keep making money on raping the earth? I dunno.
