In Denial: The Latest Casualties Of The Climate Industrial Complex
“Trekkies” should recall this pithy exchange about endangered humpback whales from the 1986 feature film, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, between Leonard Nimoy’s famous character and actor Catherine Hicks, who played “Dr. Taylor,” the cetologist.
“Mr. Spock” stated, To hunt a species to extinction is not logical; to which “Dr. Taylor” responded, Whoever said the human race was logical? [emphasis, links added]
As the film’s story goes, humpback whales became extinct in the 21st century. The intrepid crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise (actually, they continued from Star Trek III in a commandeered Klingon starship), led by William Shatner’s “Captain James Kirk,” had to time travel from the 23rd century to the mid-1980s.
