The big difference is the issue of responsibility?
An indisputable FACT is that humans are the top predator and the species most affecting the biosphere...except maybe for termites, etc?
Except that termites and all other species are acting in accordance within the limits of evolved characteristics that function as a PART of the overall biosphere and within the evolved limits of that biosphere.
Humans are acting OUTSIDE those limits as defined by the environmental destruction they cause...which is documented.
Those who shirk this responsibility are weiny-heads.
The best remedy for these types is to drop them off on Alaska's north slope with just a few basic necessities for a few months...if they don't survive...they feed the wildlife...if they do...they have now have some sense?
I too live each day and try to enjoy my life...but I also try to keep some perspective and accept some responsibility for the damage I and my species do...not just say I'm a hot-sh*t human and I can do whatever I want....I'm not a Republican.
