The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it - Robert Swan
Oh, Carlin. On one hand I wish you were still here, but in the other hand I’d hate to hear what you thought if what we’ve become.
He’d be laughing his ass off, at our expense as we deserve, that’s for sure.
I miss him so. I wish people would read his books, the man knew how to deconstruct human thought and it’s crude tool, language, in a way I’ve never seen equaled.
I think he would have had a coronary during Trump, if he didn’t attempt to murder Trump himself lol.
Carlin could have a bunch of really stupid fucking takes too, I guess. What an argument.

So true. No matter how we pollute the air, fill our veins with plastic and nuke ourselves out of existence, the earth will ultimately be fine and still continue on.
Ironic to think that after we’re wiped out, some of the things likely to survive, for awhile, will be the millions of tombstones standing or crumbling to ruin in cemeteries.

This is not funny. This is a comedian with an opinion.
Like with most things in comedy, you will need to hear his timing, context, and the cadence of his voice. You can still not think it is funny, but there clearly was a joke being told.
Try asking those who believe Man has a significant effect on global warming a simple question. Tell me exactly and specifically what changes you propose. And then tell me exactly and specifically what results we will see and in what time period due solely to those changes. File this under makes you feel good about yourself but accomplishes nothing but higher energy prices.
It means a slowed increase in temperature which means safety for coastal areas, a slowed increase in extreme weather events - there are a lot of proposals out there and studies on their effect. You just seen to want to say fuck it, I don’t want to change or pay slightly more for energy or change your actions.
Want a simple change? Stop using fossil fuels. We had 50 years to come up with a solution, but some rich assholes and their bootlickers (like you) decided we don’t deserve a solution because their bottom line is more important than the survival of the entire species. But, this is nothing new. This was previously done by Big Tobacco and Big Sugar, perhaps even more.
If our species cared about our species’ future, we would live with whatever energy generation our only habitat could environmentally tolerate/sustain, and we clearly wouldn’t have bred to the point that the planet is pushing back. Instead we STILL demand growth/metastasis. “growth or die!” Oh the delicious gallows irony. Homeostasis should have been our species’ business, but that ship has sailed.
Humans are so self-important that we don’t even seem to care about how fragile our situation is, and we all know at some level we’re going to be our own end.
I’ve been calling it human exceptionalism. If we found an organism that drives 150 other species extinct a day we would do our best to eradicate it permanently, but it’s us so we ignore it.
We’re like a bacterial infection on Earth. We won’t kill the host but it’s already permanently damaged.
well put.

Cool. We deserve to pay out the nose to wreck this place. It fucking should cost us.
Stop burning fossil fuels and engage a massive tree planting program. No, you don’t deserve your vacations, consumer goods shipped from halfway across the planet, or any of the other modern convinces invented since the Industrial Revolution. We’ve had our chance to keep those things while shifting to green methods, but we always choose the cheapest method and now we’re in the Finding Out stage.
Try asking those who copy-paste bullshit… why are you copy-pasting bullshit?
Stopping people like you from using oxygen would be my first proposed measure :)
When they cannot debate with facts they threaten those who dare disagree with them
Who’s “they”, Mikey? Be clear, Mikey.
Your ilk doesn’t deserve a chance at discourse, because you don’t engage in honest discussion.
Honest discussion means… you have to totally agree with my position. They are incapable of having a debate of facts and proven outcomes. You would think that if a person firmly believed in a policy that they would be glad to prove those who disagree wrong with facts.
Regressivist scum says what?
Almost funny how the clueless and uninformed always are left with name calling. Just like in grammar school
No more children allowed. The problem will solve itself in a hundred years and the earth can begin its millions-of-years recovery process.
