So we don't know what's causing what, but we should do something about it? How do you know what we do will work if we don't even know what's causing it?
The planet will thank us? The planet doesn't give a flying rat's ass what the hell we do to it. It was here long before us and it will be here long after we're gone. The planet is not at our mercy. Just the opposite, we are at the planet's mercy. A small shiver killed 200,000 people in a tsunami. A slight sneeze called Krakatoa destroyed an island and lowered the global temperature for the next year.
I don't understand these naturalists who keep telling us how powerful the planet is and then turn around saying we can damage it. We can try our best to destroy the planet. We can try for generations to destroy the planet. The planet wouldn't even notice because the next little sneeze or hiccup can undo everything that we have ever achieved in our puny existance.
