The last few months have been a staggering illustration of the stupid and capacity for denial of the species. The various climategates hit, public opinion on ACC wavers towards denial and the politicians are suddenly actively criticising climate research data they have no comprehension on newsnight and now we have only 26% of the population agreeing that human endeavours are causing climatic change.

The fact that our species still considers "infinite growth" as a valid economic/population model and our sweeping under the rug attitude toward concepts such as "carrying capacity" is the all the evidence i need to come to the conclusion that at a societal level we are utterly insane.

This shit is going to roll us right up and we'll be denying it right to the last.

Human are naturally selfish and hypocrite, we put ourselves first before the planet.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
