Your logic would serve you well but it doesn’t address the other logic, or lack of it (and plain common sense), to some others. And all it takes is a few bone-heads to screw things up for everybody else. Take the miners and loggers of the 1800’s. Strip the land bare because God put it there for us to use! It didn’t matter that it was being depleted because, at the time, life was good and money was being made! Hydraulic mining, dredges, logging, overfishing,... The list goes on and gets longer. My grandfather had that mentality, like “other people before me did it, why can’t I? Besides! Out of sight, out of mind, right?” In a mining operation in northern Nevada in 1962, a WWII halftrack threw a track and was abandoned on a switchback turn on a US Forest Service road. Grand Dad could have reinstalled the track and drove the vehicle off the mountain where it might have been removed from the canyon by salvagers years later. Or towed it by bull dozer one of many times a dozer passed it. But it sits there to this day, shoved back in the brush. Who cares?? The message might seem to have been “Live for today, don’t worry about tomorrow. Today, there is bread on the table, money in your pocket, and all is right with the world. Tomorrow, with God’s help, will take care of itself.” How these people managed to sleep at night is beyond me! Yes, technology cannot save us. We must save ourselves if there is any saving to do.
