Of course something of value was lost. But it's natural, and it's inevitable, so what can we do?

Yeah because cheaper gas and cheeseburgers is much more important than mass flooding making the earth barely inhabitable for human life in a matter of decades. Maybe the invisible hand of the market will build an Ark for us.

They choose to make giant smoke-belching factories and to lobby things so that the fines for massive pollution are less than the amount saved by polluting. i can recycle and bicycle till the cows come home and it won't change that.
