“Saving the Planet” – The Ultimate Display of Human Arrogance
I was having a conversation with a young lady on my DC trip who described herself as “a green person” and that she was concerned about the environment.
After some chatting about how we are “destroying the environment” I told her the next time you fly particularly over a large city as I did while in NYC process the fact that millions and millions of people live down there burning fuels, accumulating trash, creating their own little scar on this supposedly frail planet.
Take an aerial snapshot in your mind and process the fact that even if every square inch
of space you can see was occupied with a polluting vehicle, burning brush, trash, exhaust being expelled by everything from diesel trucks, businesses, lawn mowers, BBQ grills, heating devices, cooking surfaces whatever do you actually believe that the earth is not capable of cleansing itself.
Should we be good environmental neighbors, certainly.
Should we be environmentally conscious and protective of our waterways, our air and our surroundings, of course.
I then asked her if she was familiar with the recent Chaitén volcano a single major volcano eruption that put more “pollutants” into the air then all the humans that have ever lived on earth. It is the ultimate display of human arrogance and ignorance to think humankind has or even can make much of an impact on warming or cooling of the planet.
After looking at me as if I had my head on backwards she acknowledged that “well I never thought of it that way”
Duh, of course not. Another example of why liberal amuse me so much.
Sphere: Related ContentWe’re so self-important. So self-important. Everybody’s going to save something now. “Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails.” And the greatest arrogance of all: save the planet. What? Are these bleeping people kidding me? Save the planet, we don’t even know how to take care of ourselves yet. We haven’t learned how to care for one another, we’re gonna save the fucking planet?

Nice photo of the end of Gore’s sideshow. The next couple of years are gonna be cold, and this pic is one of the reasons why. By the time all that dust drops from the skies as dirty rain, we ought to be well on our way to the 17 year solar minimum and chillier still. (The planet took five years to shrug off Pinatuba.)
(Visions of climate complainers flapping their arms and blowing on their fingers to stay warm….good times await us.)
Psst Bud! Dirty coal cheap, I got dirty coal.
