If you are a religious person, apparently Jesus is going to swoop down and give us all a ride to heaven in his pimped-out Christmobile within the next thousand years or so … which is even more reason to use this rock up quickly.

Seriously, term like “less livable”, etc are abstract concepts which cannot be quantified.

Less “livable” for who and when?

Bangladesh isn’t “livable” now.

The earth’s oil is certainly going to be used up at some point, and someone is going to be left holding the bag.

I’m not sure if it is relevant that it is fifty or five hundred generations from now.

We can easily stress our resources and make the planet much less livable if we are not careful. I agree that do-gooder politicians who ask for such token efforts at conservation do little good. But, to deny the real dangers of ecological damage to our planet, or of a particular ecosystem on it, shows a real lack of awareness or curiosity.

See Earth Hour not as a token gesture to “save the earth” but an opportunity to deprive Nevada Power of an hour’s worth of income. Putting the screws to those greedy bastards if you will.

Sure, it’s still a token gesture, but there has to be some satisfaction in depriving those fools of a buck or two. Fight the good fight here.
