I forgot all about that!<\/p>\n
Well, good. I’m gonna go drive around pointlessly in my SUV, and maybe pour a couple loads of used motor oil in a local stream. Then maybe I’ll go kill something that I won’t eat, just because. And then, when I’m about to tuck in tonight, I’ll make sure all the lights are left on, maybe even plug in a couple more, and open the fridge and freezer doors so they run all nigfht long. And maybe I’ll crack open that 35 pound bottle of Freon, and make a bigger goddamned hole in the ozone layer. <\/p>\n
It is the absolute pinnacle of pomposity to think that humans can have ANY effect on the environment, and the more we try to “manage” the “wild” the more fucked up we make it. Such has been the case forever. <\/p>\n
Face it, folks, the planet is what it is. We may be able to have slight short term effect on the planet, but it will clean itself of everything we can do to it in no time at all, because nature replaces divots. <\/p>\n
Remember: Nothing on this planet, not dioxin, not fossil fuels, not nothing, was from someplace else. Everything here, with the exception of a few arctic mars rocks, has always been here in some form or another. Does it make sense to conserve and not be an idiot? sure. Is it going to affect the planet, longterm? not a chance. And if it does, it will only make it inhabitable for US, something else will come along to fill the evolutionary niche we abandon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
