Your logic sounds to me like this, licker: "Laws against murder don't prevent all murders, therefore we shouldn't have laws against murder."
Dang it. Snaked by Tifone.

Really?
What LAWS are we talking about? We're talking about climate change and species adapting to said changes. The point is that the climate has changed time and time again with zero input from mankind and that species have lived and died with zero input from mankind.
To be sure, I am not for more pollution, but to think that we can somehow control the climate is pure nonsense.
Should we actively try to destroy species? Certainly not.
Should we actively try to save species? Probably so.
Should we use flawed methodologies and pure speculation to justify our reactions? ...
Flamewar...
*chuckle*
You think this is a flamewar?
But yes using smallpox as a foil to GW is quite the strawman, and rather irrelevant. Or were you saying that we shouldn't have wiped out smallpox? OMG GENOCIDE!!!
See I can do it too
