Rather, point out that trying to lean on the hypocrisy to discredit them is logically fallacious.
If a thief tells you not to steal, that doesn't mean they're wrong.
Using a small percentage to make a massive quantity appear insignificant?
Using unscaled absolute numbers to make a value appear significant? That's not only lazy, it's dishonest.
I do not, because most of such claims presuppose that the environment is static and pristine.
You were doing good, here. There is no such thing as a pristine environment.
The reality is that there is a great deal of change without any human involvement and often times what humans do is insignificant.
You flew off the track, here.
Human involvement is fucking huge in this stage of our development.
We upset the carbon cycle by 60-100 times that of all of the volcanoes on Earth, combined. We are quite literally the largest force of nature on this planet outside of the sun.
While I agree with the goal of protecting humanity's habitat, it ought to be viewed as such - our habitat that should be utilized for humanity's needs.
I'm not sure you really do agree with that, though.
If you did, I don't think you'd be belittling our impact.
Ceiling Cat
All hail
Do you care to explain how I'm wrong?
lol. You really are just the most pathetic fucking thing.
See for example Jordan Waddy who was charged for the injuries to bystanders shot by the police.
The article clearly demonstrates that he was not.
He was never charged for any harm that came to the bystanders.
He was charged with 4th degree assault for an assault the police witnessed before they approached, and being a felon in possession of a weapon.
As I said, compare those charges, with teh charges against the officer:
One of the three officers who fired, Brandon Ramos, was indicted by a Denver grand jury on 14 counts in January of 2023. The indictments included two counts of reckless second-degree assault, three counts of third-degree knowing or reckless assault, three counts of third-degree assault with negligence using a deadly weapon, one count of prohibited use of a weapon and five counts of reckless endangerment.
Seriously, go crawl back under your fucking rock.
