9. He's only partly right. Sure, the planet will be here in another billion years...
quite different and probably without much of a trace of us. Maybe the Noah story is some ancient memory of other times the planet cleansed itself, leaving no trace of earlier civilizations.

But, what if the environmentalists are actually on to something besides their convenience. While we are here, is it our place to ruin the planet by design and change it for the worse? Isn't a clean place to live worth something right now? Most of the problems we are causing are because of greed or laziness and wouldn't it be nice if we became enlightened enough to reduce our greed and increase our work in things not immediately profitable?
