Eden Without Adam and Eve
So I’m watching Aftermath: Population Zero on the National Geographic Channel Sunday afternoon (okay, so my life isn’t all that exciting), which asks the question: what would happen if the entire human race simply vanished one day? Well, it turns out things would be pretty rough on domesticated animals and on the ecosystem as a whole, primarily as the result of nuclear plants around the world exploding and releasing radiation without man to, uh, man them.
Happily, though, the earth would heal quickly, plantlife would flourish without the pollution we nasty humans create, and there would be a heaven on earth. So there we have the problem. It’s us. The sooner we leave the better. I commend the good folks at the National Geographic Channel for their willingness to celebrate a world in which their ratings would take a severe hit.

There would be no cameramen around to record it.

If I was picking one human to stay behind, I'd pick the President of PETA. They'd discover how Mother Nature does animal husbandry (when they're not busy running from animals with big teeth and claws.)

A world without Lady GaGa and Snooki? A world without Levi Johnson? A world without Paul Krugman?
OK.
Deal.

Were these dorks smart enough to as the big question: Who would care?
Re: Eden Without Adam and Eve
Not to mention the most important question: Who would celebrate Earth Day?

Re: Eden Without Adam and Eve
Isn't it rich that the same 'Progressives' who always have ridiculed the church moralists like Calvin and Savanarola - who said licentious people are doomed to perish from their sins and excesses - now condemn mankind in precisely the same way.
The only difference is that now black carbon is the 'stain of sin', and the worst crime is 'promiscuous energy usage'. These energy evangelists are preaching the Brave New Religion of Gaia, the goddess, and the New World Order of Sustainability.
At least the church moralists gave us hope for salvation. One gets the feeling that this new bunch would celebrate our extinction.
It would all be quite funny if it weren't so dangerous to human rights and liberty.
Note to these preachers: The mob turned on Savanarola and his ilk; burned them at the stake.

And these are the same people who preach "evolution." So wouldn't it stand to reason that we would return, only to destroy the earth? And then return to destroy the earth... and then return to destroy the earth.... and then return to destroy the earth.
Sounds like earth's destiny to me.

Re: Eden Without Adam and Eve
Tree-huggers forget that Eden was Eden for plants and animals too. In the real world, where we all try to live, things are different. When there's not enough rain, there's too much. If it's not freezing, it's too damn hot. And when the weather is just right, some nasty bacteria come along and culls the weak.

A world without "Wheel of Fortune?" Inconceivable.

Only until we come back as symbiotic blue elves with tails, as the prophet James Cameron tells us.

I can't help but quote this, from Newser, about the Gulf Oil spill:
Wait. Why am I posting this here? This should be a post of its own!

Re: Eden Without Adam and Eve
Did any of the Nat Geo production folks offer to "do the right thing" and take some immediate personal responsibility to end their own footprint? Or were they just talk?
Actions speak louder than words.

Re: Eden Without Adam and Eve
Do you really need to celebrate it when every day would be Earth Day?
