Let's encourage as many of them as possible to go on a voyage to find one.
It's an AFP story prompted by
something the WWF people are saying. Don't confuse the WWF with the more intelligent WWE.
Carbon pollution and over-use of Earth's natural resources have become so critical that, on current trends, we will need a second planet to meet our needs by 2030, the WWF said on Wednesday.
2030 will come and go and this will prove to be laughably false, but if anyone brings up this false prophecy, the nuts will point to some minor change as having saved the planet.
These alarmist warnings are designed to gain power over our lives and neglect to take into account the amazing mechanisms our world has to sustain itself, and the innovations that human beings, especially in free markets, develop that aid in using natural resources more efficiently.
Regardless, the sun will not burn forever.
Biologists say many species, especially mammals, birds and amphibians, are in headlong decline, their numbers ravaged by habitat loss, hunting or the likely impact of climate change.
And why should we care? Aren't all of these life forms mere cosmic accidents, the byproducts of purely natural processes that are nothing more than molecules interacting per the laws of physics? Isn't that what dominant elites in the scientific authorities insist?
