Let's forget about changing our habits, its much easier to change the entire PLANET

Sometimes, science comes up with the most amazing ideas that would help save many lives and blah blah blah.

Most of the time, scientists have found something; which to them, "Hmmm.... interesting." Then one really strong political power, or something else will get their hands on it, and next thing you know- Hiroshima and Nagasaki; Chernobyl, Osbourne Reef (whose bright idea was it to stick car tires in the sea?), must I continue?

There are also these times when they come up with these ideas, and your firs thought goes something like this, "These guys cheated off Sci-Fi!" Take for example, the ideas that a bunch of geoengineers came up with. It goes something like this, "Hey guys, we messed up our planet enough, but we don't really want to change our lifestyles because hey we're humans; we're special! Let's change the planet, I think that's a bit more feasible!"

I am not kidding you.

There is this idea that if we can send a bunch (think: 20 million tons) of little "fliers" which can reflect light; we'll cool the earth down by 1.8%, which is not so bad. The problem is not the idea. It's the method.

Who gave us right to heat up the planet by our indulgence in the first place? We humans are very selfish people who think that we are the most important species on the planet. We are not the numerous, we are simply put; parasites. Is that not what we do? We travel place to place, use up everything they have and move to another spot. Now, we're saying, we don't want to live conservatively and save energy; lets just spend more money and energy into building a whole new mechanism that will save us the trouble from, oh the horror!- having some restrain on our need to indulge every want.

Here is the other idea that these bright scientists have proposed. Forget about fixing this planet, lets move onto another one. Great. Just great, another planet for us to destroy. What are we, parasites?
