what are we actually saving the planet for

Tue, Nov 10, 2009

So, most people think we’re trying to save the planet from frying. What are we saving it for though? More of this? The Human Race is like an ensemble of warring factions down a mine. Every so often they stop to shore up the roof, to stop it falling on their heads. Then they continue with their warring, exploitation, bullying and destruction. Who is going to tell the oppressors to stop, once we’ve “saved the planet”? We’re not “saving the planet” to allow them to continue with their criminal, morally corrupt regimes and violence towards ordinary people. I thought the first picture was touching. A destroyed and abandoned child, its destiny dictated in the womb by a violent and destructive regime, being cared for by a woman with a heart of gold. Why save a world as rotten as this?
