On the contrary, the only thing that is irreversible is our lives.

The world still continue to live. We would be just another passing phase of extinct creatures like the dinosaurs. Did the earth die? No.
New things will be formed.

So regardless of how we pollute the earth, equilibrium will set in, and nature will still takes its course regardless of our existence.

Well, the point is that we do need to take care of the earth and its biodiversity in order to live on as a healthy species, in fact to even have a future at all.

Or else, things will be very bleak. For us. And I guess some people can accept that, but I cannot. sad.gif

lets just forget about the political ideology, the political activists and all that bureaucracies.

and see it at a scientific stand point. the verifiable, empirical and testable stand point.

they say co2 is the main climate driver in the rise of temperature.

but what if its the reverse is the correct order?

is it the cosmic rays that generate clouds in turn cause the changes in temperature due to increasing temperature on sun, and thus interrupting the flow of subatomic particles and cosmic rays to enter earth to form clouds?

or is it the growing gravity field? or the cause of/by post-glacial rebound?

You can't separate global warming from the politics because this is exactly what it is about.

All of a sudden all these alternative theories pop up... and while they should be investigated, there is a very high chance that they're just here to obfuscate understanding in an endless sea of scientific minutae.

Global warming isn't just about the environment. It is also about the industrial and financial hegemony of the western world over Asia and Africa, which allows them such a HUGE carbon footprint... and now with our development they fear how things are getting out of control. So now this thing has become another bargaining chip between governments and blocs.

I also believe that a lot of the people who formulate policies in the Anglo-American bloc sure as hell don't give a shit about the health of the planet and its people. That's why they're seeing solutions in morally bankrupt ideas like population control.
