No one thinks that, that's ridiculous. There's a major difference between ruining the planet and making life difficult for ourselves and other species. It disgusts me to see you try to use a Carl Sagan clip to push your agenda which couldn't be further from his position.

No one thinks that? I can assure you... some do. I know some of them. I'm not saying we shouldn't clean ourselves up as we definitely should, I just think people buy into the scare tactics of 'clean this shit up or we all aslplode' that keeps popping up.

It disgusts me to think that you believe this is part of a personal agenda, and that you're somehow entitled to force people into thinking a certain way or they're wrong. You need to mature up pretty soon buddy, as people in the real world have brains of their own. You're little ideal bubble of everybody following the footsteps of another doesn't flow in real life.

stfu and go away...

I find it really hard to take you seriously right now...

mud wrestle bitches!!

Sorry bud, I'm too tired tonight.

I'm trying to get things back on a civil path here. Didn't think a comment would offend someone so much... who knew. Of all things said on ATOT this one sparks a doozy for some reason.

As has been said in such threads before, it's not a concern that we're going to "destroy the planet." The planet doesn't give a damn what happens to it. We could puff off the entire atmosphere somehow, and it wouldn't care.

The concern is that something goes screwy which pushes the climate out of our very narrow comfort zone.
Look at the planets in this solar system - we've got stuff that gets close to absolute zero, up to places that are well over 700 Kelvin.

We prefer a habitable range of, oh I don't know, let's say somewhere around 283K - 309K. (50F - 97F). As far as nature's concerned, that's an insanely tiny range.
There are plenty of times and places just on Earth when the local weather would be fatal were it not for our technology and ability to shelter ourselves.

No, we're in no danger of destroying the planet, or of wiping out all life. The concern is that we might make daily life more difficult for a lot of people.

this is all true, at the end of the day, planet earth is a chunk of rock floating in space. As long as we dont get another ice age humans should be ok

So then you think we should continue on the path that we have set forth. Polluting the earth raping the land killing off all manner of wildlife?

To save life on earth we need to change, but we wont destroy the earth. We will start another ice age which could purge humans and then we would either survive or another species will and will evolve and become the dominate species, reptiles had their turn, mammals are fucking the planet, i am think its the bumble bees turn next

Fixed. It's a Carl Sagan 'b'.

What system does Australia use?

I'm in New Zealand. We use the American number system, although I think the European one makes more intuitive sense.

New Zealand and Australia use the same system.
