The Middle Finger to the Environment

I honestly think we've all given up on the environment.

There is no disputing the scientific fact that we are having a negative impact on the environment.  I'll side with the climate experts over the oil industry and giant corporations.  It doesn't matter what YOU believe.  Facts are facts.  You can believe all you want that the earth is flat, the sky is purple or Nickleback is a good band.  You'd still be wrong on all counts.

Even if you are a denier (which would make you stupid), are you 100% sure that we are not polluting the planet?  If you have the slightest doubt then wouldn't you want the world to change?

You may think that pumping shit into the air isn't having a global impact (again, that would make you stupid), and you may look out the window and not see the sky on fire or a giant ocean where your front yard used to be.  Winter might still be cold.  But coral reefs are dying, there's an island of plastic in the middle of the pacific and lakes are drying up.

So, you may come to an age where the road behind is longer than the road ahead.  It may be natural to not care about the future if you don't have much of one left.  I guess humans are naturally selfish.  I would think it would be natural for humans to care about the continuation their DNA.  But no matter what happens the earth will still be here.  Just not with people on it.
