“You know, when we fought the Cylons, we did it to save ourselves from extinction. But we never answered the question, why? Why are we as a people worth saving? We still commit murder because of greed, spite, jealousy. And we still visit all of our sins upon our children. We refuse to accept the responsibility for anything that we’ve done.” — William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

Based on the way we treat the Earth, I sometimes wonder if humanity is worth saving. Look at what we did to the Gulf of Mexico. Even before the oil spill, there was a giant dead zone.

The oceans are so vast, and yet we humans are ruining them. We’re doing the same to the atmosphere. CFCs were stopped, but we’re still polluting and still contributing to global warming.

We treat our home, our own and only tiny planet, like shit.

Yes, I guess we should do what we can to stop global warming. Maybe, though, we should stop and ask if humans are even worth saving.
