    Right, and you have no respect for the other living beings that occupy that cycle? You know we’re driving 200 other species to extinction every day, and when we run out, we die too, lol. Your attitude is why human beings are an extinction event.

      No, your attitude is exactly why we are driving the extinction event. Every single climate change denier says the exact same tired point, “We’re too small, too insignificant to change the climate.” This idea humans are just another animal is objectively incorrect, and dangerous. We’re not smol beans. We’re not powerless. We’re not equal to random animals. If we were we wouldn’t have been able to cause an extinction event, we wouldn’t have changed the climate, and we wouldn’t be directly responsible for 60% of the animal biomass on the planet existing period.

      If more people realized humans exist at the top of the food chain and are responsible for our environment and not the other way around, we could actually talk about taking global initiatives seriously.

      But for as long as you people repeat the far-right Christian view that we’re just another one of God’s Creations we’re going to keep shirking the responsibility inherent to being the singular capable lifeform on this planet.

              Clearly you’re not, otherwise you wouldn’t be taking the ‘oh human can’t effect the environment we’re just like cows and trees man we just exist in nature we can’t possibly have any effect on it’ logic train. There’s a reason the CIA invented the hippie movement to help permanently ruin left-wing movements in the US.

                  You are in fact saying that. If we’re ‘just another animal’ and ‘just a part of nature,’ then logically we can’t affect nature any more than any other animal.

                  Meaning anthropomorphic climate change cannot be real under your logic system.

                  Which I personally disagree with.

                    Buddy, algae caused an extinction event. We’re not that special, except for the fact that we’re killing ourselves and every other living thing on the planet faster than any extinction event in history.

                    anthropomorphic climate change

                    😂 You can’t be serious man. I think you mean anthropogenic climate change, which is very real and a reason why we’re just another stupid animal using up resources so fast and sloppily that it’s going to end with possibly our own extinction.

                    You jump to a lot of conclusions (usually wrong) and end up at some really disgusting places with your thought process.

                  Whatever you say, liberal. Hope we really do live in your fantasy world where anthropomorphic climate change isn’t real.
