Re:The earth changes.. (Score 3, Insightful)

Sorry, but as one of said "environmentalists", I feel compelled to set you straight here. The earth and it's systems do change; on this point you are right. But the change that occurs is nearly always slow and balanced. Balance is a key word for the environment, because what we see in events like this ice melt is the result of imbalance. The natural systems of the earth are very complex. I think that actually you are wrong about what "most environmentalists want". What they want is to keep these systems balanced for a little longer in an attempt to understand the way they work, and perhaps to devise ways of living that allow the balance to continue.

I suggest that, if the future of the earth and human existance on it is at all important to you, you take this into consideration when you next start to slander environmentalists or others with strong views.

Apologies for the tangent, but I couldnt let this one go.
