    Global warming is fucking lame. Shits been going on before we even knew it. Its a natural cycle the planet goes through. But as far as keeping shit clean, pollution, etc. Im all for it.

     

    The earth isnt a "living organism" its a large rock, with a molten metallic core surrounded by layers of atmosphere and a magnetic field. Shut the fuck up, retard. Believing in some hippie "Gia" shit is as bad as religion.

     

     

     

     

    wow didnt you get hugs as a child?

    The Big Misunderstanding: Why We Don’t Need to Save the Planet

     

    Published by Hubert Den Draak on April 02, 2009 under Energy Efficiency, Sustainability

     

    Okay, it’s been bugging me for too long. It’s time to get this out of my system, so get ready for a rant. We’re all familiar with those catchphrases encouraging us to change the way we do certain things in order to “save the planet”, “help the environment”, or (my favorite) “because the Earth will say thank you”.

     

    The recent Earth Hour was another stellar example. We were asked to turn our lights off for one hour to help save the planet, once again. Even if the aim is simply to build awareness, it just doesn’t do anything for me.

     

    Don’t get me wrong; I’m committed to living a sustainable life. After all, my home is the Nolalu Eco Centre, where we use renewable energy, and the list of sustainable actions goes on and on.

     

    Saying the green movement is about saving the planet bothers me for two reasons: one, because it’s not true, and two, because it makes us do these things for all the wrong reasons. Saving the planet is a red herring.

     

    Turning off Lights for Earth Hour We don’t observe Earth Hour to save the planet. Recycling, solar power, composting, eco-tourism, straw bale buildings, insulation, eco-centers, CFLs, triple-pane windows, hybrid cars: the Earth couldn’t care less!

     

    Making all these green choices is not about saving the planet; it’s about saving ourselves. Mother Earth will be just fine without us, thank you very much. George Carlin said it well in his 1992 environmental satire, “The planet’ll shake us off like a bad case of fleas.”

     

    What’s the worst that could happen should we decide to not turn those lights off, insulate, recycle, use CFLs, compost, or make any other effort to go green? The worst that could happen is the demise of human civilization.

     

    Too bad for us, but good news for the planet.

     

    We have been seriously messing with the balance of things ever since the Industrial Revolution. We act and the planet/environment responds. Acid rain, unbreathable air, toxic drinking water, dead zones in our oceans, climate change—that’s nature responding to our acts. We’re not killing the planet; we’re killing ourselves.

     

    Remove humankind from the face of this planet, and before you know it, it will perk up, heal itself (move in the right direction, at least) in a few short decades and restore its natural balance without any outside help.

     

    Ants and our eco systemOn the other hand, take something seemingly insignificant, like ants or spiders, out of that same equation, and entomologist Ken Deacon estimates that within three to four month the ecosystem will have deteriorated to a point where life as we know it cannot sustain itself, including us.

     

    In my book, that makes ants considerably more valuable than us humans.

     

    This planet doesn’t need us to get saved; we need this planet to save us. We exist by the grace of an infinitely finely-tuned living organism called the Earth. We don’t run this organism, we’re not in charge of it, we’re not even its guardians. It’s the other way around: it’s in charge of us and is our guardian. Mess with it in a serious way, and we’re history.

     

    So next time you decide to ride your bike to the corner store instead of driving, do it for all the right reasons: do it for yourself. Compost for your kids, use CFLs for your friend’s kids, insulate for everyone’s grand kids. Future generations, not the Earth, will say thank you.

     

    And please, be careful with the ant spray! Thanks for indulging this ranter.

     

     

     

    So comment on this, what do you think about it?
