Why is it...?

Why is it that on the coldest days of the year the fringe lunatics start running
around screaming about Global Warming. Holding marches, people dressed like Polar Bears, carrying idiotic signs, like they don't have a Job in the world. Who in Heavens name are bankrolling these head cases, because I swear I see the same faces at Peace marches, Anti-war rallies, Anti-Bush, Green Peace, Anti-this, Anti-that. If I hear one more nut job, running around shouting about Gay Marriage, I'm going to come unglued. But, dear reader I digress. Why exactly do we want to save Mr. Polar Bear? "Hey everybody! Forget going about your daily business. We have to save the 1,500 lb death machine from having to swim a little more..." I wonder what the seals and penguins think of mankind saving Mr. Polar Bear. Probably "Hey Bob, don't go to the edge of the ice floeoooooohhh Shit. Did you see what happened to Bob..." As kindly Mr. Polar Bear take Bob the penguin in his massive maw and sinks beneath the icy waves. That crunching sound was Bob. Crunchy. Tasty. Who then will take of Bobs young son. Whose feet will said son stand between for warmth. There is a lonely, shivering young penguin in Alaska waiting for Bob...
Here's where we arrive at Real Life...
1. Animals are highly adaptable to the environment
2. The environment is highly adaptable to animals
3. People are animals (refer to number two)
If people ceased to exist today, the world would reclaim everything we have done and built in a century. Why do you think we cut grass, fix roads, hunt animals, any of the numerous tasks we do, day to day, that keep the environment from claiming us? If we didn't do these tedious daily tasks, vines and ivy would climb our buildings and tear them asunder, roots would buckle our roads, animals would wander in the empty husks of our buildings... Life, as it were, would move forward, and some Other dominate species would take our place. To me, it is arrogance to assume that we have done anything that the world itself won't reverse over a fairly short time. The ecosystem was here long before we were here, it'll be here long after we're gone. Relax, calm down, enjoy the time God has granted you in this wonderful place. Oh, by and by, you Hippie protesters, go get a job, have lots of kids, and enjoy your life and let the rest of us be...
