Don't fall for the arrogant arguments that humans could change it, or keep it from changing. You and I are of no consequence with changing weather patterns.

If we painted a parallel between religious beliefs and environmental beliefs, the climate change doomsdayers who refuse to have kids because they think the world will literally burn are the functional equivalent to Muslim terrorists bombing innocents at the market. But people like you who refuse to accept any possibility that humans can even nudge the environment at the margins are the equivalent to the radical atheists who have to go around every day actively seeking believers to chastise.


Clearly, the terrorists group is by far the worst category on the religious spectrum. But damn man, those uppity, arrogant atheists sure do bug the shite out of me too. Both groups strike me as profoundly stupid.
