If you're poor, the only way you're likely to injure someone is the old traditional way: artisanal violence, we could call it – by hands, by knife, by club, or maybe modern hands-on violence, by gun or by car.
But if you're tremendously wealthy, you can practice industrial-scale violence without any manual labor on your own part. You can, say, build a sweatshop factory that will collapse in Bangladesh and kill more people than any hands-on mass murderer ever did, or you can calculate risk and benefit about putting poisons or unsafe machines into the world, as manufacturers do every day. If you're the leader of a country, you can declare war and kill by the hundreds of thousands or millions. And the nuclear superpowers – the US and Russia – still hold the option of destroying quite a lot of life on Earth.
is snuffing out future generations by the fouling of our nest on an industrial scale now seen as benevolence?

You deniers can't say the measurements aren't accurate. Look at the data in the link I provided.

A link does not prove a thing. Your link is measuring co2 on a volcano in hawaii. One point on earth. I seriously want to know how many points in the atmosphere that co2 is measured. I can see no question being of more importance.
They're typically within 3 ppm of each other... ESRL Global Monitoring Division - Observatory Operations
Willful acceleration of climate change= violence
Are we personifying Mother Nature?
sooo..... you're pro-choice?
Seriously though, mass murder on an industrial scale just to eke out a few more dollars in fiat $$$ is unconscionable
When it is not known about, can't argue with that. When it is known about and efforts are not made to change it it is genocide, pure and simple.
