Yeah, thanks, I thought so.

No, but I guessed you'd tell me after that. Fine if you live in a safe place.
Others (you obviously don't care about) don't. You'll find your laughter stuck
in your throat soon enough.

I have neither your mindset nor the one you think I have, and the place I live
in is probably even safer than yours. However, the temperatur in front of my
door just today was about 8C higher than the last 100 years' average. Our
average winter temperature has already risen by 2C. These are well established
measurements, and only a fool will think that this has no impact on Earth, life
and future.

The planet isn't evil, it has no mindset nor a character. It's a rather complex
ecosystem with some nonlinear couplings we're going to experience in greater
detail.

What exactly are you trying to say? Begging me to call you an irresponsible
silly ass? I know you aren't. On the other hand, you don't know anything about
my life, my ecological footprint, my worries, or my computer (and it has
nothing to do with what I wrote before, anyway). So come up with something
better.

Gerrit
