No need to drag the biosphere down with us (I know, we’re already doing it, but at least there’s an off chance that we come to our senses and revert course).

Yesssss. Bring on the nuclear holocaust. Burn them all.

I am contractually forbidden by the vaccine industry to mention the link. I need the money, and they pay well. NASA skipped the last check, so now I’m spilling the beans on our flat planet.

I know, but sometimes I like having fun with the trolls.

“Why put climate change in the article if the species was not killed by climate change.”

Weird. The article doesn’t say that the bird went extinct due to climate change. In fact, the article mentions anthropogenic climate change as a cause of extinction only for four species.

“[...] some of the comments here are truly asinine [...]”

Problem is the term “felt the need”. There’s not one type of volcano, there are several types of them, each with its own profile and properties. As far as I’ve read, this type of explosion could not have been predicted because it was a short-lived, impulsive event.

I’ve read that there’s a local atheist group in Germany which has a public showing of The Life of Brian every year around Easter. Apparently, every year they are fined for that because there’s a law that forbids the public display of, well, anything that defames religion and therefore might disturb the public peace…

That’s the reason why The Life of Brian was and is so despised: There’s a lot more truth in there than many people can stomach (even though Monty Python backpedaled a lot...). And if Jesus were an Instagramer today, he’d probably have lots more haters than followers. Although standing in a poppy field with bleeding…

The animal wasn’t sick. And many times animals eat what they mistake for food. If an animal’s diet consists of jellyfish they’ll inevitably mistake shrink wrap or a plastic bag for food, because what looks like food is considered food.

“Because a lot of Christians are doing their works under the radar, as the Bible commands. It’s a double-edged sword in a world of self-promotion.”

I’ve never said people can’t or mustn’t like these things (they shouldn’t, but that’s a different story).

Oh, but Judeo-Christian beliefs (like all religious beliefs) are nuts. You can call them parables all you like, but for the longest time people believed them literally. And many still believe their literal truth even today. And if they are all parables, how can you determine what’s real or not?

“Mercury from marine fog poses no risk to humans, but the same cannot be said for terrestrial mammals.” (emphasis mine)

Hence “stable environment” - regular income is pretty much a prerequisite to (individual) freedom.

Being rootless is awesome. I have no tradition I feel obliged to follow, no rules to observe that were made up before my time that I’m supposed to adhere to because of “tradition”. I’m free to carve out my own niche in my time on my own wits without the baggage of generations past forced upon me.…

Overpopulation is not solely about numbers. It’s about carrying capacity, the ability of an environment to sustain a population. Even if our population peters out in 2050 to about 10 billion, they all need to be fed, housed, and clothed. And no one wants to live in squalor, but have some modicum of…

But protesters should have realistic goals and provide workable solutions to whatever problem they feel is in need of solving, and not block part of what is clearly the solution. If you want less polluting cars on the road, then people need alternative modes of transport. People still need to go to…
