The Human Race will only destroy itself, if this is at all possible.  But it certainly won't destroy Planet Earth.

And bearing in mind of course, that we Humans are only a slightly advanced breed of Mammal who are here simply to procreate, then trying to have a nice time doesn't seem such a bad idea.

Climate change linked to human activity not destroying the planet ?

Planet Earth is looking fine from where I am sitting.  But we do have a glorious amount of trees.  Many more so than when I arrived here 30 years ago.

Interesting.  So if you step on an ant and kill it should you be charged with murder?

That's a silly question imo. Human views of right and wrong are not the issue and nor is one human treading on one ant. You may as well ask if the stingray which killed Steve Irwin should have been charged with murder.

You mean if no human beings get to live on it, I assume. Earth has always teemed with life. I don't think humans are more important than other life forms.

So you are a vegan

You dont take antibiotics

And if either your rabbit or your child had to die you would find that a difficult decision

Rose tinted, Ukraine is nice this year it seems.

and I bet you don't even believe in anthropogenic climate change!

You'd be wrong then.

It was you who claimed humans are no more important than animals, which suggests to me that you put equal value on the lives of all animals as you do on human lives (and I bet you enjoy a good Sunday Roast!)

A curious thought

Consider me astonished.

I'd love to know what the Neanderthals were doing to cause the end of the last ice age.

I believe it's something to do with being at the top of the food chain.  When a human eating alien appears from another galaxy that should all change.

Unfortunately the state of the Earth can't be judged by looking at your little corner of it. The country you live in has more licenced hunters than any other EU country. They kill 17 million birds each year. Around 200,000 larks are shot every year in France alone. Millions of song thrushes, redwing, fieldfare and blackbirds are also shot down. That's humans having their 'nice times' for you.

A curious thought 

Indeed.  Consider all the years wasted worrying about the fate of Madeleine McCann when G-Unit could have devoted the same amount of time to the equally serious matter of who killed Cock Robin.

didn't they invent fire?  And I bet there was a lot of farting and belching by the fireside after a good helping of roast mammoth. Need I say more?
