Current Events > Something fundamentally simple that confuses me about climate change deniers

(+) Yeah! (+)

Their argument they have doesn't seem to be limited to just the temperature of the Earth as caused by humans. Many of them extend that denial to say that human beings do not have any widespread negative impact on the Earth at all; if creatures are dying they're simply just not strong enough, nature will find a way, there are millions of animals left everywhere, yada yada.

But then these same people - and I'd put money on it that if you were to draw a demographic circle the overlap would be near perfect - unironically defend hunting, because (and this is their absolute most favourite and defensible position - "Hunting is a necessary mechanism to control the destructive behaviour of deer on the ecosystem."

So to recap. We need to kill deers because deers destroy all the flora which kills all the fauna. But we don't need to moderate human behaviour such as levelling rainforests and throwing all our plastic shit in the ocean, because animals will figure that shit out no problemo.

I'm sorry pinky is drunk but you get my point

I acknowledge that human activity is destroying the environment and altering the climate in ways that will kill millions in the years to come AND I support killing deer to keep their population in check and limit their ever expanding distribution of disease carrying ticks.

Can I get a Pinky award?

I've never seen those two arguments overlap before.

We have to at least keep white tailed deer populations in check because their predators have been extirpated from their range.

I think that is the sensible way to look at things

Humans do not have any predators anymore and no one is keeping us in check.
