    Most of us worry about what immediately affects us, and a couple of things that are close to our own views. Starting a thread about it though, and repeating how much you don't care on the other hand ...... Yeah, not many of us do that.

    Many people dont understand what irony means but they throw it out there in an attempt to sound clever. Take Alannis Morrissette for example, she wrote a whole song about it and not one single line was ironic. Great album though.

    I feel sorry for people like you. And even more so for the people around you, family, friends. People who want to see you in a positive light. Perhaps you have family who have kids. Would you tell them and their kids that you don't give a toss about them and their future? You probably won't, unless its a tongue in cheek comment down the pub in-between comments around how important it is for [insert whatever football team you support here] to get 3 points on Sunday.

    Its cowardly and weak minded to say you don't give a toss about anything. Have you every given anything beyond social requirements to anyone in life outside of family? You probably have an excuse for not giving to charity or not giving money to homeless people on the street. But the excuses have run thin so now you are just throwing out blanket "I just don't care" excuses.

    I'm not judging though OP. You can exercise free will, yay.

    I used to work with a guy, shrewd business man, sat the same attitude as you. He developed cancer later in life and thankfully survived. It changed him. Not the cancer bit, but the fact that so many people in his life rallied around him to show him support, showed that even though he was an asshole, people still cared.

    Well whats better , having a care free attitude or scaring and traumitising these kids into believing the world is ending in 12 years time ??

    Don't worry lads, if we get the taxes in in 11 yrs 11 months time all will be grand!!!

    Although Earth's climate has changed historically, the recent change is different. It's both more rapid and caused by human emissions and thus can be stopped by human action.

    In other words instead of natural gradual change, it's rapid human driven change. Your response treats it as if it was no different to natural change in the past.

    There were rapid climate changes in the past, have we any idea what caused those rapid changes? It certainly wasn't the plastic straws that mc donalds have gotten rid of and replaced with those pesky paper ones. It also wasn't caused by jet emissions or factory emissions or any other emission for that matter. Climate change is bandied about by every government the world over and guess what the outcome is? Yep, more tax money for said governments. Where does all this extra tax money go? Nobody knows

    There were a few rapid climate change events in the past yes. Aside from those in the very remote past the causes of all are essentially known and they have quite a different profile from the current one. The current one is caused by human activity. That's a fact.

    Now governments might use it for a cynical tax hike. However that's a separate issue from the actual nature of the change, which has been proven both to be unlike previous climate changes, even more rapid ones and to have its origin in human activity.

    No two climate changes have been the same, hence why this one is also different. The next one in a another couple of hundred years will be different again. See what I'm getting at? Climates change all the time for one reason or another, nothing we do will stop that so why stress about it?

    I see it, but it's incorrect. Your "hence" does not follow essentially.

    Other climate change events have been different, but all follow the same profiles just with slightly different parameters. The current climate change has a completely different profile.

    You wouldn't say because every cold you had was slightly different (i.e. you had it for different times and at different severity) that when you get the measles it's basically the same thing.

    Our action has been proven to be capable of stopping this one and the crucial difference is the reason, i.e. that we are the cause.

    How has our actions been proven to help the current climate situation. What has changed for the better with our actions. We are continually told that things are getting worse and worse so what is actually getting better?

    This seems separate to what I said.

    I'm saying that research into the current climate shift has shown that we are the cause and demonstrated actions we can take that will effectively halt this shift.

    This is separate from whether we have actually implemented these changes currently, which seems to be what you are asking here.

    I actually agreed with the OP, when you are constantly bombarded with crises 24/7 year after year after year then eventually it is only natural to stop giving a **** about them. "Who is preaching at me today, oh, its some privileged little scrote who never had to worry about paying bills, great, throw her on the pile with all the other sanctimonious twats".

    But then it turned out the OP isn't just tired of all that, he is actually a climate change denier, so I'm going to back away quietly.

    I can understand not caring about certain things, celebrity stuff for instance or even taxes on smokes, but there are things which affect all mankind which you should care about.


    If you have children or relations you probably should care about the erosion of civil liberties and democracy. The erosion of these can lead to a police state in which people can end up being locked up for no good reason. Lots of examples of that around the world.


    Likewise the environment. Your quote below shows a level of ignorance about it. If everyone thought like you and just voted for their own current self interest the world would be in serious trouble in your children's life times.

    This is categorically not true. We can try limit the gases we put into our air which are heating up our environment. Nobody says it will be easy but if we don't try it will lead to extreme weather events which in turn can cause the deaths on innocent people. Just because you don't know someone who dies doesn't take away the fact that they were a person that someone loved.

    Some people are disillusioned with life and as religion is no longer a player in the western world they are desperate for something to believe in, things like climate change fill that emptiness.

    Oh sorry, I thought it was directed at me.

    I agree that as such our efforts are swamped by industry and big business. However the same was true of CFCs and the ozone hole and that was reversed with political action against the interests of big business, so I don't think it's a lost cause.
