The true question this types of discussion evoke to me is :

Are we able to live ethically ?

(Which leads to "What is ethics ?", which eventually leads to " Ethics is nonsensical".)

When my dad saw a queue of tourist cars on a weekend around half of the ring of the capital city he said that if this really causes global warming, this must be banned immediately.
Well, if you ban tourism, you're on an efficient track of slowing global warming.
Banning Python would also be huge for reducing our carbon emissions.
You see, logical thinking doesn't bring us far in ethics, because it leads to "The biggest thing we can do to reduce our carbon emission is to cease".
