      Who is passing blame?

      It’s our fault we are here, it’s our fault this happened, it’s our fault when we are finally gone.

      But life itself will adapt, and overcome this obstacle, just like it has countless times before, and will countless times again.

      Personally I believe that our lasting impact will be plastics, which will get compressed by time and become the “rocket fuel” of the next species to gain full sentience, which will allow them to explore the galaxy.

      Pointing out the evolution will continue life on earth is not passing the buck. It is counter-acting the ludicrous and embarrassing fear-mongering and shaming that was taken from a comedian and held up as gospel. George Carlin isn’t wrong. He was just an asshole and his perspective sucked.
