Nope..it's not...

If we don't do something

soon, it will spiral out of control.

And then we, like the dinosaurs, will be no more except fossils in the
ground and the earth will keep spinning, the sun will keeo shining (for
a while) and the universe will go on until the next Big Bang...all
things end...accept that...we are not infite beings..


That may just be the strangest non-argument I've read, it basically says
that because the dinosaurs became extinct, it's perfectly fine for
mankind to hasten his extinction and we should do nothing to prevent it.
It amounts to propounding mass suicide.

The earth has been happy without us in the past...why wouldn't she be
happy without us in the future? Mankind will survive only of it deserves
to survive...sometimes U don't think our survival in the unicerse is a
very umportant thing...



Again, and for what I hope will be the final time... it's not a matter of
our survival. Some high percentage of humans will survive. This is about the
rest of the species and our relative comfort in a decent environment.
