Reply #15: I heard that from him before.

I watched a stand-up on youtube of him saying those same things. I've never forgotten it and now I think of it every time everyone's talking about how they worship him. In a way he's right of course, we can't destroy the planet (DUH, that argument from anti-environmentalists was already lame 20 years ago) We can just start a mass-extinction, and kill big parts of the ocean, and level mountains, and raze huge forests, and make the planet unlivable for lots of species including our own.

The planet will bounce back someday, or course it will, that argument is meaningless. It will always be a shame on Humanity that we caused a world-wide natural disaster. And there's nothing natural about it really. His words just make it easy for people who hear them to not take any responsibility. He's just a 70+ year old comedian, he can die feeling like he knew everything since he won't be around for the worst of it.
