"looks like a perfect day to put our soldiers in an early grave."
Our troops choose to join that fighting machine (otherwise known as the US Military). In related news, there hasn't been a draft in quite some time.
It all comes down to a matter of choice: preemptive strike in foreign lands (with low losses on our side and high losses for the enemy), or terrorist attacks on true innocents, the civilians on US soil. 9/11, never forget.

We shouldn't go and ruin everything, but trying hard to preserve anything that is being destroyed or is in danger is a vain effort. Things are even lost without man's destruction. The Ice age brought Mammoths to extinction, no one could do anything about it; some things are just out of our control. Furthermore, there are far too many things we think are in our control that aren't... for example: http://acuf.org/issues/issue62/060624cul.asp
In the end, everything will be gone. Just think, all of our efforts will be for nothing when the earth dies. Of course I'm sure the Sun would die out before heat death, but a dead sun would surely annihilate the ecosystem.

yeah. that doesn't changemy mind at all.
even if that is happening, we are still responsible for what we do to the earth. we're supposed to protect it and the living things in it. just because someone has a theory doesn't mean we can just go around ruining everything.

I know you are a strong believer in protecting the earth from the destructive tendencies of mankind, but... I have a little secret to share with you. The term is "heat death" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_death
Wikipedia excerpt on: Heat death of the universe
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_death
The heat death is a possible final state of the universe, in which it has "run down" to a state of no thermodynamic free energy to sustain motion or life. In physical terms, it has reached maximum entropy. ...

not really, actually. i mean technically yes, but no.
there are water aquifers underground that have taken millions (or 'thousands') of years to fill and we (humans) are using it up at such a rate that the aquifers will not rifill in our lifetimes. yeaaaah. lame. so that's like a main source of the water we use. there are fresh lakes/streams/rivers too, but then we're polluting those. :(

"si! si! and it takes like 5 gallons of water to make one gallon of ethanol. it's such a waste. we're depleting water supplies so quickly and not giving them a chance to recover. and it takes like 6 units of energy to make one for ethanol. i hate it."
