This goober is crying about the trees BECAUSE there is a camera there to see him emote. If there wasn’t a camera around he would only be crying in front a couple of New Age Tourists on a ‘Forest Wisdom’ tour.
I don’t see anybody crying over the loss of three foot centipedes from the dinosaur days.
The Earth changes. Get Used to it.
Volcanoes put out more greenhouse gas per day than we ever could.
If the sea rises then most non drunkards will move out of the way. If the Ice melts off of Greenland and Antarctica, guess what? You can live there now, because the ice is gone. It’s warmer. Places like upper Canada and Siberia will welcome the influx of new taxpayers.
I think there is an as yet unnamed syndrome afflicting liberals, causing them to believe that nothing can happen in the universe that is not somehow directly connected to them.
This allows haughty displays of Earthy Piety, thus condemning other ‘less actualized’ humans by comparison, and the enjoyment of occupying the apparent moral high ground in arguments fueled by bong loads and Lattes.

I hate pollution. I feel a bit sad when I see (yet another) dead kangaroo on the road (no, I’m not kidding. Canberra has a large kangaroo population and a lot of “nature corridors” which enable them to come right into the city. I’ve even seen them on the lawns of the War Memorial), because being hit by a car can be a horrible way for a creature to die.

But moved to tears? No way.

I was hiking down a ravine once and found that some jerk had dumped huge rolls of barb wire from the road above, blocking my path. My choice was to go back however far I needed to cross a fast icy river, and then walk back and find a place to recross when I had maybe 1/2 hour of light left and then try to climb out in darkness, or to go forward over a mound of rusty barbed wire. The only way to survive was forward, so I sympathize with this McKibbin guy. I too have been moved to tears by pollution.

Ha, I read the beginning of the post, and immediately thought – he’s not a member of Earth First or something, is he?

I first saw that video a while back, and it will probably always haunt what passes for my mind until the day I die . Every time I ponder the amazing achievements of our species, there’ll be people like that to bring me back down to Earth and remind me that many of my fellow humans are not only dumber than a plank, but also madder than a box of frogs, too.

I wish that those people would just get out of my head or failing that, at least locate some bloody soap.

Yeah that’s funny I know a place where there were plenty of ears of shriveled corn and valleys that are bone dry that once supported agriculture. Of communities and farmers who are ruined because there’s no more water to allow them to plant crops to feed their families and earn a living.

Oh wait, that’s the SACRAMENTO/SAN JOAQUIN DELTA! And its going dry not because of global warming but because of sanctimonious eco-schmucks like this one who insisted that the water used to feed millions of people across the U.S. should be turned off to save a stupid 1 in long bottom dwelling fish.

I loved it when McKibben said “I didn’t do enough.” What a load of arrogant whaleshit! Even while pretending to care about everyone else, it’s still all about himself.

On a side note, if the air force would loan one of those MOAB bombs out, it would be great to drop that in the middle of that group. Seriously, those people really need to get lives.
