Damn it. First my optometrist starts putting fuzzy posters up on the wall, now my browser's spellcheck is blurring a bunch of similar looking words. I know my optometrist is just trying to get me to buy glasses I don't need. Don't know what spellcheck's motivation is...

Now, that's anthropocentric. The Universe managed quite well for aeons before we dropped in and it'll continue to do so long after we're extinct. We're not the raison d'etre (despite many of us being convinced we are).

Really? Now it's close minded and bigoted to believe life is more special than the lack of it. I suppose you hippie commies won't be happy until thermodynamic equilibrium... which is the result of the only rules The Universe is managing. Of course my bigotry and your sense of enlightened superiority is just part of the entropy slowly disappearing as we all swirl around and collapse into black holes. So, meh, who cares?

At least after the heat death of the universe no one will use french for phrases that have an exact literal translation.

The Earth is one collision or one solar event away from complete sterilization. When you start considering the scales involved in spreading life over our cold, (At least mostly) lifeless, unforgiving galaxy, the chances of the rare balance currently existing here begin to diminish even without anthropocentric global warming and the like. Maybe ecosystems like earth are abundant in our reachabable speck in the universe, but I doubt it. Humans spreading across the stars is our only know chance of intelligent life sustaining an existence. What's the point of the universe if there is nothing to appreciate it?

What the Hell are you arguing, exactly? That maybe Global Warming isn't happening? I'd like to hear that argument, that the observations, namely warming global temperatures and decreased population of pirates, is not actually proof of Global Warming.

Anyone who denies that the globe is warming is a fool. Anyone who claims the cause of global warming has been proven is also a fool.
