> Uh? Where did that come from?

You wrote you wanted more people to care for it, and at the end of your comment reveal that in fact that was the reason you got pissed off, so this question seems like an underhanded "omg I have no idea what you're talking about".

Also you're utterly wrong, most times the arguments are that: climate change isn't man made, that even if it is, it isn't going to affect us, that if it'll affect us it won't be that bad, to downright denying it's even changing.

If you think the regular argument is some reflection about the universe and how interesting it is...

Is it the sentences "There are so preciously few places like Earth. How I wish more of us cared about it." you are referring to. In that case it should be obvious even to you that "it", referred to Earth. How did you get from that to "protectors of the universe"?

> Also you're utterly wrong, most times the arguments are that...

Oh, those show up too. But it is the people who pretend that they actually belong to the thinking crowd who comes up with the your part.

It goes like this: There's no climate change. We didn't cause it. It won't be too bad. It's too expensive to do anything about it now. The world will be fine either way, with or without us.
