Mass Extinction!

RE: Mass Extinction!
(December 6, 2010 at 1:25 pm)Chuck Wrote: Sustainability in the long run is ultimately impossible simply because life sustaining conditions on earth will not last forever with or without us. Sustainability in the short run approaches good policy, but is not the final objective, since we must come to terms with the inevitable need to everntually abandon this planet. So we should keep in mind what the final objective of short run effort at sustainability really is, and not make sustainability itself a quesi-religious doctrine, and thereby foreclose on nonsustainable efforts that also menifestly contributes to the final objective.

You are thinking thousands, if not millions of years into the future. The human race will be lucky to make it past the next 300 years at the current rate of comsumption.

Your vision hasen't an ounce of practicality and is perhaps beyond the means of the human race entirely. If we are ever able to grasp this concept is another good question. If we continue to fight against one other and the planet we will never make it. It is beyond us.

Infact, you must come to terms with the actual reality of the task before us. But it seems it is useless talking to you.
