It can be, but I'm too empathic to sit back and watch others die without it
bothering mean, and climate warming is definitely going to cause suffering.

We are all we have, and truly, we (the human we) are the only thing that is
important.

The quote that fits my attitude best is about not going to go quietly in the night...

Besides, it's like the old parable, if a tree falls in the woods, but
nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound. (the answer is who
cares, the tree and the forest, the sound, and the earth itself is
irrelevant if nobody is there to use it.)

Not me, every life is as precious their's.  I'm more of a Hawking, Tesla,
Einstein, Galileo, De Vinci type myself, but they too are just human and
"worth" no more than that.  Their works are a different matter
altogether, but they "belong" to us all.  They wouldn't have been
what they were without the rest of us being around.
