People bitching about the environment -- its Evolution...

k I just watched a commercial about the diminishing population of Polar Bears and they make it sounds so sad and epic with sad music and serious voices.... But I get pissed because everyone seems to believe that evolution is responsible for all life systems and stuff, so in this case, IT IS EVOLUTION.

Populations will die out because of environmental and other factors, so why should we as overpopulated humans, make a fuss about this sort of thing when extinction is inevitable. Yeah I know the environment is important to us and crap, but in the grand scheme of evolutionary life, every individual section of life will have its time and then things will keep changing. This is part of that change.

It just pisses me off, because of course no one believes in God and evolution is the alternative to the source of life, so why be so concerned about this shit??

hmm i suppose if ppl believe in God then there tends to be an even less concern about life since its supposedly "temporary"

either way we are f***ed and those commercials still piss me off

w/e my point is clear. Whats the point of humans making such a concerned fuss about nature as if we can really control it, when it supposedly controls us and everything else. Life will have its way.

Oh and sorry, white bears.
 
Because extinctions tend to happen at a fairly steady rate throughout history, with the exception of mass extinction events, which are somewhat catastrophic not just to the species that go extinct (obviously), but also the species that survive but must adapt to a vastly different environment than what they are accustomed to. What we find ourselves in now is a situation where extinctions are happening at a vastly accelerated rate compared to the average extinction rate that's typically observed throughout history. Worst case scenario, we are driving ourselves towards another larce-scale extinction which would have unforeseen consequences on our survival. Would we be able to adapt? Probably. But as a general rule, mass level extinctions are not beneficial to any species, so it may be in our best interest to not be the driving force behind further extinctions. I mean, if you want to get all "science-y" and whatnot.

Also, polar bears are delicious, and if they go extinct, we'll have to get by with baby seals, which, while much easier to catch, simply can't match that "top of the food chain" flavor.

Your point is based on gut reactions, not knowledge.

Sorry, my friend.

Your point is not clear. Should we not care about things out of our control?

HAHAHA you sir are the winner. Points noted and I agree.

I guess they cant stick all the technical info in an commercial since it would be too much, and also unintelligent people, and religious fundamentals would not understand it. So appeal to emotions. 🙁

emotion manipulation ftw

Hmm, you might just sway my opinion with your hissy fit.

1/10?? r u rating me??? This isnt youtube... I just felt like bitching and OT is the only place I can turn to (LOL) and I wanted to see what other people think about it....

 
Sure, some fcker named Heet is blaming Evolution for the destruction of Polar Bear Habitat....go back to the equator you bastard:disgust:

3/10. A little better than your devoid of logic original post, and an extra sympathy point for your genuinely pathetic pleading ("OT is the only place I can turn to").

 
We're undergoing a mass extinction event right now. It's called the Holocene extinction event and is one of, if not THE fastest ever.

Most biologists believe we are the the beginning of a tremendously accelerated mass extinction. The world your grandchildren grow up in will not be like the world of today. When they see the Coca Cola mascot, all they will think is WTF is that.

Is it the end of the world? No. Is it something that people should be concerned about? Probably.

Global warming will eventually lead to the next ice age within the next couple hundred years and we're facing mass extinctions. Overall, we didn't pick a very good time to evolve and hit our technological stride.

Technology. We have the ability to correct for any mistake or weakness millions of times faster than anything could evolve.
 
Polar bear extinction is sad, but let the fucking pandas die. I hate pandas. They are stupid.
