[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4221214, member: 63706"] Did I say that? Every living creature has an impact on its environment. You claimed we are accelerating climate change. That is propaganda. Accelerating it how, and to what end? Anyone who claims to be able to give definitive answers to those questions is lying. If they could, they still wouldn't have definitive answers about how to change the trajectory of the changes, or even know where they want the climate to go. Do you want to make the planet colder? How much? How will you accomplish that? How will everyone keep warm enough? Seriously. Do you have any idea of what an acceptable climate, or change of climate, is supposed to be? You don't, because no one does. To talk about climate change as though it were a problem suggests that there is some way to keep the climate from changing. "But I only want to reduce the impact humans have on climate change," you say? Well, humans will always have an impact on their environment. No way around that. There will always be people who think the impact we have is "bad". No amount of progress towards... what? A "stable" climate? Will ever be good enough. The only way to "effectively" reduce, or eliminate, the impact humans have on our environment is to reduce or eliminate the humans. [/QUOTE]
