George Carlin on The Environment

Jammin in New York: April 24th, 1992
The Planet is Fine, The People are Fucked
Earth: 4,500,000,000 years
People: 200,000 years
The Earth Has Been Around 22,500 TIMES Longer Than Us

[@brianwayne7999]

Well Juna science is facts the planet doesn't lie,only we do.

[@billyhughes9776]

This is my favorite Carlin bit of all time -- words to live your life by. Always brings me close to tears at the end. "It doesn't punish, it doesn't reward, it doesn't judge at all. It just is. And so are we,....for a little while."

[@teknoarcanist]

The genius of this bit is the way it SEEMS to be a critique of environmentalism, as if Carlin is arguing in favor of doing whatever we please with the world. But, in reality, it's slyly satirical, and he's just saying, "Humanity can't save OR destroy the planet, because humanity is utterly arbitrary and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. All man can do is either save or destroy man itself. The planet will go right on spinning either way."

[@Kehvan]

Um, it IS a critique of environmentalism, but nice try splitting hair.

[@brandoncarbaugh7994]

kehvan It's not, though. He sets himself up like he's taking a pot-shot at people who think we should overhaul civilization / the economy in the interest of saving the world, and mocks them for (it seems) being pretentious worriers -- but then he turns it around, and reveals it's not because they're wrong, but because they're right: we ARE causing catastrophic change. Except, the joke is, it's not going to hurt the planet: just us.

[@Kehvan]

No... he's ridiculing them for meddling, even when they think they're doing good, because in the end, nature doesn't share our same biases and the worst we can do, while it might destroy us, the Earth will simply incorporate that into a new paradigm. I get how you might be confused, but after all, you're a left wing environmental nut job who must believe we're destroying the Earth in order to give your philosophy legitimacy.

[@brandoncarbaugh7994]

kehvan Okay.

[@xnoreq]

kehvan What has conserving current conditions of life for coming human generations (your children, their children ...) got to do with being a "left wing environmental nut job"? And don't you get that "destroying the Earth" does not literally mean that the Earth will explode, but that conditions of life will change? For some species significantly more so than for others. Of course the Earth doesn't care, it's just a pile of crap floating in space. The Earth also doesn't care if a big meteor hits it and eradicates all life on it. That doesn't mean we shouldn't care, so let's at least try as best as we can to prevent something like that.

[@sidearmsalpha]

"We don't even know how to take care of ourselves." That's the one line that always gets to me watching this amazing bit. Humanity's biggest issue is not being able to get along as a species and set aside its differences to solve its problems.

[@apetheory7152]

WWIII is already on its way.

[@sebastienbolduc5654]

That was his way of breaking a social conditioning/brainwashing which ignores our real problems as a species. We're more of a threat to each other, of wiping ourselves off the planet, than we are to the environment. Maybe we should be prioritizing what the bigger threat is.

[@globalpilot76]

[@vtgamehendge]

Zeph Orac Dude, you missed the entire point of the routine, and you'd probably miss the point of most of Mr. Carlin's comedy over his 40 year career. It's all about social satire and sarcasm and irony and tongue in cheek. He's not saying that we should keep destroying the planet and that pollution doesn't matter. He's actually saying the exact opposite. His point is that we're so arrogant as a species that we say we're destroying the planet when we're only destroying ourselves. The earth will always be here unless it's destroyed by something so cataclysmic that it literally destroys the planet in a physical sense. Earth will continue and go on and we'll die and disappear before it does. That's the point. The earth will kill us before it allows us to kill earth. We will be cleansed from its face like a dog shaking water off its back before we kill the earth. Even nuclear war wouldn't kill the earth. Earth would be rid of us - finally - and start anew.

Hes not saying saving the planet is a bad idea, hes saying "in order to save the planet we have to change our way of live, and we are never gonna do that!" Carlin was an environmentalist at the core, he always was.. but if people want to help the planet they have to change.

[@lordevyl8317]

Actually... I think that's the kind of people Carlin was actually talking about, not the average person who actually DOES care about the environment. he was mainly referring to the rich millionaire and billionaire HYPOCRITES like Al Gore, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bill Gates, etc. that claim to care about the environment all the while living in massive million and billion dollar mansions and driving huge gas guzzling SUVs and Limos

[@Reality4Peace]

Exactly. Notice the Marxist language "bourgeois liberals"? George is not denying climate change or humanity's role in it. He is critiquing selfish, elitist liberals like Al Gore, their rhetoric, and their inability to actually solve the issue. Carlin is critiquing from the Left, not the Right. He was well-read. His conclusion is we're all going to die because of our inability to change how we live.

I had the honor of listening to his live interview with the late Art Bell. Was such an awesome interview.

[@christophersmith993]

I had a friend once who really wanted to be a environmental scientist. And I told him "Oh their is this formula scientist are theorizing that could possibly turn oxygen into gasoline." And if he said 'That can hurt the planet.' or 'That will not be good since humanity is so dependent on fossil fuels and we need to find new energy sources.' I wouldn't have cared. But instead of saying anything that would sound like he gave a shit he says "That's going to hurt my job." Enviormentalist, give me a break.

[@seanwilson4885]

Dorna Moss Well, it wasn't this video that made me turn to a plant-based diet. Apologies if it sounded like that. It's just when he talks about these liberal environmentalists like WWF, Greenpeace etc and how self-interested they are, it reminds me of how uninterested they are in global sustainability. Environmentalism is a business, like waste management or resource recovery. They appear to be selective in what they care about.

[@frenchlearner19]

Sean Blake The environmental agencies do seem to be selective about what they choose to focus on. Have you seen Cowspiracy? I thought it was really shady that they didn't want to discuss animal agriculture as a major contributor to climate change.

[@seanwilson4885]

Dorna Moss Yes, I watched it. Great documentary, very disturbing. Really couldn't believe what was going on.

[@theman211294]

As a Conservation Biologist, who has worked with declining species, this is my take on it. He’s basically explaining it’s futile to save the planet, it’s species, etc. because humans are not as important as they think they are. Trust me, many people I went to school with always claimed they were “saving the planet.” We’re not. We’re heading into our sixth mass extinction (human caused) and life has continued to flourish after every extinction. And working with declining species in the past, it’s always depressing because no matter how hard I work it doesn’t feel like I make a difference. As a conservationist, I never say I’m saving the planet or present my self as some savior but I always say my work is trying to benefit people. We depend on the planet’s services for our very survival (many many examples of this). So when George says “the planet is fine. The people are fucked.” He’s not wrong. That’s why environmentalists or people who believe in it should reframe it as “We’re actually saving ourselves.” But we probably deserve to get wiped out anyway. It’s also important to laugh at yourself and your ideals because self scrutiny is always good.

+Eric Ziegler Why? Who says? You? We should stop trying to control nature because _you_ say so? The answer to 'why control it?' is 'for our own benefit so we can live and prosper', _if_ that's how one feels about it. If you don't then that's fine and cool - just die off and let the rest of us continue to evolve. I agree with Carlin in as far as there is virtually nothing we can do to either help _or_ hurt nature, and I love him for calling out these arrogant liberal do-gooders on their childish mentality. Where I disagree is that I'd like to see humans try to control our own environment at least and continue to evolve and progress. No real reason, I don't have any delusions about it being objectively 'right' for us to do so - I just think it's more interesting than giving up, lying down and dying. I'd at least like to know as much about the universe as we can before we croak. But your attitude is cool. Although I must admit I'm confused as to why you're still alive. I mean, why are you continuing to eat, drink and breathe? I mean, why control it? Just let yourself die. :/

I think certain people have the assumption that Carlin is saying we can just keep on consuming and polluting like we've been doing and not caring about trees and owls and shit. It's really about the arrogance and limited-thinking of smug environmentalists who think "saving the planet" is something we are capable of doing by driving hybrids and eating kale rather than a massive overhaul of how we think and do things. I think our purpose is both as an extinction agent and a learning tool for the next intelligent species (I'm betting on the squirrels). We'll clean the planetary plate of some species maybe a phylum or two to make room for future lifeforms to flourish then we'll remove ourselves through our innate stupidity and greed. Several million years later (a mere blink in geological time) the next intelligent species (if we even qualify as a first) will glean from what little remains of our "civilization" and go "Holy shit these guys were fucked up! Let's not do this, shall we?" And the squirrel people still retaining their bushy tails will come to expand across the universe with a cautionary tale of humanity's rise and demise
