Default I drive a diesel but why should i care?

I wont be around in this life time to see what effects it can have on the planet.

And by the time that happens people will probably be living on other planets n shit.

People don't know. They just see all this "Save the rain forest" and shit like that on TV and think that they're supposed to care. Same reason people get married. If you asked them for a logical reason why they need to get married as opposed to just living together without getting married, they'd stare at you blankly. Because just like people who care about the environment, they don't really have a reason. There just following what they see on TV and what they see other people do.

In case you've been living in a cave, climate change has ALREADY occurred and is ongoing.

Let's just hope reincarnation isn't real.

Or reptilian aliens, as far as other planets are concerned.

Wrong, if some predictions are accurate and global warming really fucks things up it will be the small things at the bottom of the food chain that survive, not people.

Logical reason for caring about global warming, climate change and green living: I care about the future of my species and my planet. Logical reason for getting married: People like to show their commitment to the person they they love by following the tradition of sharing vows with each other. It's worked for thousands of years so people must do it for some reason...
