    That humans are actually the rational beings many claim themselves to be, rather than animals that makes decisions based on emotion and then rationalise why they made the decision.

    I feel it would solve all the problems other commenters have mentioned.

        Pretty much.

        The co2 we are emitting into the atmosphere is leading to problems.

        Rational response: reduce our co2 emissions as fast as possible.

        Our constant population expansion and habitat destruction is causing a new mass extension event:

        Rational response: Limit population growth. reduce environmental impact and regenerate damage already done.

        Etc
