Care to explain how pollution and climate change are resources?

Care to explain how pollution and climate change are resources?
Yes, but not as rapid as the one humans are causing right now.couple points here believe enmos said it about climate change.. climate change would happen weather humans were here or not this has been proven in the earths ancient history.
Pollution is obvious ....if the water that's needed is polluted, then animals nor humans can drink it.
Ditto for pollution of the air ......and breathability.
Climate change????????? Duh? Why would you even consider that as anything, much less as a resource? Huh? If the weather changes, we put on more clothes or take off clothes. If it becomes too unbearable, we move. But what's that got to do with ....resources?

Yes, but not as rapid as the one humans are causing right now.
Sure, Max, you can call it 'resources'.
Are you still denying that the human population has a global effect (pollution etc)?
Yes, but not as rapid as the one humans are causing right now.
Not unless someone can afford to get those resources to the people who need them. Shipping costs are enormous, not to mention the cost of trucking the food, etc to the people in villages all over the world.
It's always easy to talk about waste and vast resources of regions, but it doesn't do anyone any good if they live to far away to enjoy it.

I'm not even going to dignify that stupidity with a response, Max. ...
I'm not specifically attacking American practices ....
....- it's the third world that's guilty of the greatest waste per capita. 3rd world agricultural practices have something like 15% efficiency, 85% is thrown away because they don't have proper tools. Lands go fallow and desertification ensues because there's simply such low education.
If all 20 million Australians quit everything, they'll be replaced in ... what? A few weeks or months by India alone? I mean, so long as we have some people in the world pumping out as many children as is humanly possible - well, you can pretty much say f*ck it. Not only that but our whole economic system is based on population growth.
Based on this alone, if CO2 is a real problem, then this planet is doomed (or at least the things living on it).
This is one of the things I find repugnant about environmentalism. Some number of them (at least two of them on this board) favor the genocide of humanity. That, to me, qualifies as evil on a scale that even exceeds that of Hitler or Stalin. Disgusting.On the other hand, I'm actually hoping for some catastrophic changes which will wipe out most of humanity. It may spur some evolutionary advancement, get rid of a civilisation I find less than the best option, and solve a great many of our problems.
Why should I care? Our species is determined to live stupid and to commit slow suicide anyway. I see trends in our civilisation, embraced by the majority, which are leading us straight down the toilet. Things need to be shaken up. Evolution likes a big change now and then. I'm going to die. You're going to die. We're all going to die. There's no getting around it. Thus I hope that since all that death is going to happen anyway, some big changes will happen which will spur our species on to new heights.This is one of the things I find repugnant about environmentalism.

Obviously you don't.Why should I care?
Since the majority doesn't agree with you, you wish for their death. Better the death of billions than you turn out to be wrong.Our species is determined to live stupid and to commit slow suicide anyway.

Wiping out the majority of the human species would not spur us to new heights. If would likely result in our extinction. And the fact that individuals die is no justification for your genocidal intentions. Hitler might have said the same thing. "We're all going to die anyway, why not toss the Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals and the disabled in the gas chamber or the oven? The human race needs some big changes to spur us to new heights"Things need to be shaken up. Evolution likes a big change now and then. I'm going to die. You're going to die. We're all going to die.

Hey, I care about the species. I hope we get a boost to evolution through catastrophic environmental changes. How is that not caring?It is disgusting; moreso even than Hitler, because at least Hitler cared about the survival of his nation.
Though that being said, I do consider myself an environmentalist to the end that the environment matters to me because the environment affects how humans live.
Exactly.It is disgusting; moreso even than Hitler, because at least Hitler cared about the survival of his nation.
That is a sensible environmentalism that even I could subscribe to. But these nature worshiping human haters give it a bad name.Though that being said, I do consider myself an environmentalist to the end that the environment matters to me because the environment affects how humans live.
I'd love to see how you arrived at that conclusion.Since the majority doesn't agree with you, you wish for their death.
Or that one.Better the death of billions than you turn out to be wrong.
