Water power

[Cormac]

There is a value in human that outweighs the value of other animals, and that includes animals in the desert.

Wrong. If we destroy our planet by ignoring the consequences of our actions, not only will we wipe out the little critters, but we'll make the planet uninhabitable for humans as well.

It isn't a question of one or the other.

You did not address my point.

Tug at enough threads and your cardigan unravels

Of course, a gentleman shouldn't be sporting such an uncouth garment in the first instance!

I am the epitome of couth!

You also manage to stand upright on the underbelly of the world - an unnatural feat, which is'

1. Weird, and
2. Hard to understand, because the question arises as to why you don't fall off*.





* If there is a chance you might fall off, please ensure that you bring a radio transmitter with you. That way you can be useful to science by counting the number of elephants. Perhaps you might even see if it is actually elephants all the way down, or does some other creature take over for a while...

Oh yes, it does.

"Human life" is only valuable if you're a human.

Not even. In Africa we prefer missionaries lightly boiled, then roasted.

The locals are way too tough.

That can be a Boer.

Places like Mexico could become net exporters of power. The Sahara could bloom with desalinated water produced by plants powered by sunshine.

Deserts are ecosystems in themselves. Destroying them by making them bloom is NOT environmentally friendly.

Naturalistic fallacy. Besides, deserts have not always been deserts. Also, much of the Sahara has become a desert due to human activity in the past couple of hundred years.

You have not addressed this issue as of the time of me posting this, even though others have mentioned it several pages ago, and neither has Thinking Aloud.

Oh no it doesn't.

Are you widow Twanky?

Prove that humans are more valuable than any other life on the planet, please.

Forests have not always been forests, too.
Does that mean we should cut them down?

Depends on the context.
