DRich Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 51 Posts: 4941 | Call me ignorant, naive, or just uneducated; but why do we care about long term climate change? Civilization will either adapt or it won't. I barely understand why people place such a high value on their own lives and I surely don't know why you would value life hundreds and thousands of years in the future. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Think of the environment, including climate, water, air, and soil, as assets. No one sane would treat machinery or developed land without regard to the capital and operational costs involved. The environment comes without capital costs, true, but it's no less an asset which ought to be well-managed in order to maximize the profit to be obtained from it.
Really? Do you value your own life? Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Adapt or perish, why should we care about "assets" hundreds and thousands of years from now.
Not very much. I realize the world will not be very much different when I am gone, you are gone, he is gone, or she is gone. 99.99999% of the population will not even notice or care. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

I hope you're just being contrarian. Such nihilism is hard to take seriously. You seem to care a great deal about not caring at all for the world. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

I guess it is just a type of introspection. I am just trying to understand why other people do care while I don't. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | I think it is just being realistic. Only 10 country's in the world right now, are free from armed conflict. If the majority of people actually cared more, than just lip service, the number would have to be much different. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/politics/global-peace-index-2016-there-are-now-only-10-countries-in-the-world-that-are-not-at-war-a7069816.html War, is what we do, regardless of what is said. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | Everybody lies. Millions have died from US sanctions alone. People care about increasing their own power, not the longevity of their fellow man. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |
