Why do these wacko environmentalists worry about the environment so much?

Im guessing that youre joking....\n\nBut the problem is, too many people share that sentiment. What if youre wrong? Do you really want to leave a legacy to your children that consists of a uninhabitable planet?? \n\nYou people have been predicting the end of the world for 2000 years. Youve been wrong so far. What if you continue to be wrong for another 2000 years??

The natural environment is full of wide sparkly rivers and waterfalls and lushes green plants with a plentifly amount of animals.So behind all that there is hurt. Animal populations are low. Plants are be torn down.And the water is getting trashed.

Well, people have problems with these classes of people just because they are against nature!!!! Because man, as anything in this world, has to respect the laws of nature! How would you feel, for example, if we had water and land instead of the sky or vice-versa? Even if we take the path of God(god left man and woman together, not two men, not two women, even if we take the Darwin teory(man and woman are mamals, and, like all mamals and beings in this world, have an obligativity to perpetuate their species; are we stupider than animlas not to respect this?), we get to the same logical conclusion. Furthermore, did you know that intill the '70s homosexuality and lesbianism were considered psihological diseases? And do you know that there are people out there that have developed treatments which are quite efficient? Also, I personally have a problem with them because they are trying to act as if they were normal. They can live their life in peace, why all those manifestations and rights-proclaming???(wanting to adopt children.. you can't say that's not a bit sick..)

Because they are greedy. Instead of preserving the planet, they want to build or drill for oil. They think there is more money in that than in tourism. No all caring is not wrong. They just want you to think it's wrong. They are the ones who are wrong. Why destroy where you live? This is the only planet we have, we should be preserving it not destroying it.

I would say it is the opposite if you categorize it by political party but it actually most likely crosses party lines.  In terms of Environmental extremists who think we are destroying the planet just really don't know the facts at all.  People who supposedly "don't care about the environment" just have a better understanding and know that we are not destroying the earth and don't see a need for a call to global saving action.  The have basic concerns like local pollution, littering, clean water things like that, everyone cares about things like that.  But the notion that we control the environment and global climate change etc...is ridiculous.  I would advise more people educating themselves on the facts and be rational not relational.  A great book to read is Trashing The Planet by Dixie Lee Ray as a starter and she lists several good resources that area also good things to read.  I gained a lot of knowledge after studying environmental effects for over 2 years and writing a report on my findings.  As far as Al Gore and George Bush, Bush far better understands the truth behind the environment and knows a lot of what Al Gore says is not true or accurate.  So why would he waste his time dealing with things that are not as dire as they are believed to be.  \n\nA few missed facts:\nThere are more trees in the U.S. now than there were 100 years ago.  \nThe Earth is a remarkable machine that has a self-cleansing process to digest much of the pollution produced.\n"A 1995 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change\n(IPCC)... wrote that some 90 billion tons of carbon as carbon dioxide\nannually circulate between the earth's ocean and the atmosphere, and\nanother 60 billion tons exchange between the vegetation and the\natmosphere. Compared to man-made sources' emission of about 5 to 6\nbillion tons per year, the natural sources would then account for more\nthan 95 percent of all atmospheric carbon dioxide."\nRain Forests while nice to have are not the only source for oxygen production on Earth. in fact the comprise a small amount of area globally to influence much.  50% of oxygen production is done in the oceans.  I am not saying I don't care about rain forests but that they are dynamically changing naturally and if they were gone our climate would not be as effected as some would have you believe.\n\nThese are just a few points.\n\nI really have to agree with retrotrancer.  I too remember the pending ice age scare.  One of the large contributors to this movement was Paul Ehrlich who was also the dooms-dayer about a population boom.  He has been proven so many times, and yet honored by the Sierra club, world wildlife fund, and numerous other organizations.  He then in the 80's was talking about global warming not cooling.  They have no clue.  Read the book Eco-scam from by Ronald Bailey.  This is the thing with libs, it doesn't mater if you are right or wrong just if you feel and are caring.\n\nEnvironmental extremist just don't know the facts.  They are so far off on so many points it is unbelievable.  I have to believe the only people who still believe in this stuff just have not taken the time to really look into it but just listen to the info given to them from the Media or liberal agendas.

Because they supply oxygen to the earth for us to breathe. And most of them are gross!!!

I think that's a question that we all need to consider.  Many people are aware of our pollution problems and horrible conservation policies, but are unwilling to do anything about it, even spread awareness.  But, to answer the question, I'd give up my gas-guzzling car in a heartbeat.

Because I care about the land.  I care about our wildlife. I care about the people here--who do not deserve less in needs to give others more in wants.\n Guess you could care less of either if it gets you what you want. Pretty selfish.

Your question seems to be: "Is the environment in danger because of you?"  Is this what you mean to ask?  (It's not really clear.)\n\nIf this is your meaning, then on a personal level, I don't feel any more responsible than should the collective human race - and I would add that YES, the human race is a detriment to the environment, very obviously.\n\nThe issue is not whether people are threatening the environment - the issue is how much industrial and economic activity is too much for the environment to accomodate?  We aren't retreating to caves and hunting and gathering, so the question concerns what public policies need we pursue to ensure a sufficiently (not necessarily perfectly) healthy environment for people and wildlife?

correct.\n\n      they are barely a concern.     they are folly\n \n             thank you for your very relevant question.\n\nTHERE ARE MANY, MANY VERY, VERY BIG ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES WHICH ARE CAUSING THE PROBABLE EXTINCTION OF OUR SPECIES WHICH ARE NOT GETTING TAKEN AS SERIOUSLY.

We are hard wired to make judgments about everything in our environment, including others. Some of us make an extra effort to rise above our instintual impulses, and some of us don't. Everyone is guilty of it at some point though.
