Question

If you are against please give reason.
Recently i have been through many debates/discussions regarding Global warming and the greenhouse effect and I seem to have a very extreme point of view. Everybody is saying that we should reduce green house gas emmisions and all, but i ask why. I dont question that global warming is destroying our planet, but why should we worry? why do we want the human population to continue existing? Why dont we all just die in year two thousand whatever when the earth is destroyed? What do want us humans to live longer for? What do we need more time for?And who will have time to regret what we have done? how can one regret after one has died. So instead of spending money on reducing global warming, we should make our and others life better for whatever time we have. Why cant we spend the money on reducing poverty? What are we leading towards that we need to achieve befor the human race is wiped out.
Please,no comments on grammar,spelling or punctuation.

Answer 1

You obviously don't have children....one day ,if you're lucky enough to , you will know the answer to your question.

Answer 2

Okay, seriously, the human race is not going to die out so just forget wishing it to hurry up. Even a full scale nuclear war would not wipe our race off the planet. It would destroy our civilisations and drastically reduce the population but humanity is extremely adaptable and will survive. Nature would recover too- it has recovered completely from far worse than we are ever capable of doing to it.

The planet has seen periods of global warming in its past and although that has caused the extinction of some life forms others have flourished as the environment changes in their favour. Of course our behaviour is causing this to happen again at an accelerated rate and we are suddenly learning that everything we do has an effect on our environment. One hundred years ago nobody imagined we could have such an effect.

What you are witnessing right now is humanity on a steep learning curve. This is the time in the existence of our race that we are realising to respect the planet and its resources. It's actually a good thing that is happening. The fact is that no matter what happens Mother Nature always wins in the end. We are learning the hard way to respect her.

Answer 3

It goes along something like this. Global warming is the liberal's religion and they practice it pretty heavily. Yes I will agree there are evidences that we are suffering under some levels of it, yes this is due to deforestation and over population of the planet the use of fossil fuels and emissions. Having said all that, does not impose the whole bible of global warming alarmists and outlook. Yes the polar caps are melting, and even if all the ice caps melt and sea levels rise, and CO2 gases reach critical mass, the earth in the past has rectified the problem when this has occurred. The earths recycling system has the ability to cure the causes of global warming and in dramatic fashion, as needed. The point is are we willing to pay the price when it happens and are we willing to accept the problems. However in the past when global populations have exceeded the ability of the earth to supply the need it has caused a natural reduction of the same, by pestilences plagues and other things. So lets just watch and see what comes from mother nature.

Yes we can do things differently but it will not occur because it is a global requirement imposed all, not just one nation or several.

Answer 4

You would have to define what you mean when you say we should make everybody's lives "better".

A reduction in green house gas emissions WOULD make everyone's lives better.

I also disagree with your premise that it would be better if everyone would die in a couple thousand years.

If you are really sincere about reducing poverty, perhaps you should learn why there is so much poverty in the world.

You'll find out that the generators of poverty are communism, counterfeit money economies (like in the uSA) and Islam.

The founders of the uSA knew what it took to create a wealthy society, that's why the Constitution was written the way it was.

If we could get back to a government that actually implemented the Constitution we already have we could alleviate poverty in our own country, and begin to spread the wealth to other nations by the example we set.
.

Answer 5

Why do you want to use the money to alleviate poverty? If something isn't done about global warming, the poverty stricken won't have a planet to live on.
True there have been many warming and cooling periods of the Earth, but this is the first time that humans have been here seriously aiding in it. It's is our nature to want to live and thrive. We can't change that.

Answer 6

We should do both: work towards curing global warming and on making our lives better, as life is about both living (long) and enjoying life.

Even if you work to cure proverty (only), what good does that do in a world with unpredictable and changing climates? That would mean you've done it for nothing. It's impossible to make ones' lives better without including all of the conditions it takes to make ones life better. Life is about building And protecting, it is shortsighted to think it is only one or the other, because both are dependent on each other.

If you have the opportunity to live longer, why not take it? What use is pleasure without living? And what use is living without pleasure? You said there would be no regrets when one dies, then so also what's the point in making one's life better if he/she isn't going to remember?

It seems as nowdays most only care about keeping people alive, instead of making other lives better, in that I agree with you, but both things must be done in order for this to be accomplished.

But if you'd want to die, then by all means, but don't put it on everyone else, because everyone doesn't want to. But you've live so far, why not continue? What's the point of being born without trying to live and make the most of it?

There's way more to this world than just living on earth for 80 years. Just as there's way more to this world than living in the caves and carving stones. No one knows the future, therefore to make conclusions saying 'this is all there is' is what one will experience as so.

Answer 7

Its called having vision that leads to hope, hopefully leading to action to bring forth alternative sources of energy. Its well within our technology to reduce greenhouse gases without affecting humanity. Its only greed and corruption that maintains human dependence on fossil fuels. Our living planet has enough resources for every man, woman and child to be wealthy beyond measure. Its a matter of making the right choice now, in the present, not a matter of waiting for the end to come.

Answer 8

Just think, what if people held that opinion 2000 years ago, what if they never tried to improve the world? never created new things such as medicines. what would have become of us now? Even though we will be dead we still have the responsibility to sustain the earth for the future generations, which will ultimately be our children and grandchildren. Of course spending money on reducing poverty is important, probably even more so. however we still have to take responsibility for the damage we have caused the earth.

Answer 9

I don't buy the global warming arguments.
There were warming and cooling periods long before man invented anything. Before cars/trucks, power plants, etc.
How do they explain that, the animals farted too much?
One volcano can spew as many pollutants in a few hours as all the cars & trucks in the world do in 10 years.
What makes us so arrogant as to think out contribution, or lack therof, will make a noticeable difference.
In cases where it is possible to reduce greenhouse gasses without major economic impact, great!
But I don't think forcing us back to the stone age with stupid regulations & restrictions is the answer.
People want to survive because it is their nature.
If you're a parent, you don't want your children killed.
If not, ask your parents why mankind should continue.

Answer 10

I think its because it wont be quick and painless, it will be massive suffering as temperatures and weather patterns destroy us. So they are trying to get people to help by at least not damaging what is left any further to prevent what might happen in between the time where disasters devastate us to the point we can't survive anymore as a society and descend into lawless rioting and death, and the actual end of the earth due to extreme heat and cold.

Answer 11

If these are your genuine feelings, I feel sorry for you;. If everyone felt this way, they earth would have been destroyed prior to this. Truth is: humans have a strong desire to live, whether they chose a loving or destructive path is up to them. If you do have loved ones, what are the prospects of you having grandchildren some day? Do you want them to have a chance at a good life without fear of the earth's demise? Maybe you should seek a good counselor.
