Let's drill the shit out of ANWR. It's cold as fuck there and no one visits anyway. No use in saving a pristine example of Earth's beauty just for the sake of doing it.
And let's build so many refineries and nuclear power plants that you won't be able to throw a stone without hitting one. Environmental damage? Who cares. The fact that the reason why there haven't been any built in the last 20-30 years is because no one wants one near them? Fuck 'em. I'll even let the government store all the radioactive waste in my backyard, no political fight over Yucca Mountain required. I've always wanted my offspring to have a third testicle. Now all of us Hall men can have 'em for 10,000 years. And what about national security, you say? Well, we barely protect the nuclear facilities and chemical plants we've got now, so not protecting new ones shouldn't be a problem.
And you're right, global warming is grand. The longer growing season is fan-fucking-tastic. It doesn't matter that soil depletion is a problem. And the ice cap melt-off can go ahead and drown those pesky free-thinkers who live always seem to live in NYC and LA. Besides all of that, I just love skin cancer. So chic these days. And El Nino is my friend. Brown people in Latin America need to learn how to swim anyways.
Fuck the world. Who cares? It's dominion theory. God's coming back soon so we don't have to worry about taking care of this thing us humans have lived on for thousands of years.
