But let me ask you something: Are you 100% sure your house is going
to burn down this year? If not, why are you wasting your money on
insurance? Why don't you just wait until you see flames, then buy a
policy?

Not a good analogy, since we can obviously affect what happens to our
own homes. There is quite literally nothing that can be done by the
average person to influence the world's climate --



Dummer 'n dirt.

what he says is true
but he uses it to imply a fallacy

an -individual- has very little power over the climate
even a rich individual

however that does not imply that collectively people are powerless

individually you cannot build a pyramid
but get together maybe 50 000 working together during fallow with copper tools
and you can move mountains

arf meow arf - everything thing i know i learned
from the collective unconscience of odd bodkins
nobody could do that much decoupage
without calling on the powers of darkness
