its good to practice the 3 Rs and be responsible for waste and try to minimize impact on the environment. its self serving and people should be concious of it.
And i see the biggest human contributing factor to human environmental changes is increased population. After all if the human factor is the problem than the human is the problem. Hard to deny that. So let those who feel strongly about it start calling for population control instead of regulation. Let those who love the environment enough decide to stop reproducing. Regulation to curb human populations without creating suffering for some is a fallacy. Im curious if the tune would change. Id like to see the people moral and mental gymnastics in that feat.
Of course the quagmire in controlling birth rates is dillution of the gene pools based on man law and not natural law. Who reproduces and liberties of individuals. I wont make that call but nor do i make the call for mans law to magically control climate change. its the catch22 protaginists of human effect always ignore. If u believe it and u have a kid what is going to stop an average 70 years of pollution from that one kid. Do you think there is some sort of philosopher stone that will wipe the slate clean without a price.
I say let ignorance play its part but not in the legal system. Hate to say it but so far survival of the fittest has worked. Screw security of the cowards and their protectionsim. Be personally responsible and vote with every dollar you spend. Do what benefits you including the small scale recycling stuff. Try not to harm others out of your fear. And make the best life you can for yourself knowing you have no security. It is what it is.
Just seems like the 1% making people jump at ghosts. Funny im curious how much of the 1% is based in washington DC. I read recently that washington DC has surpassed silicon valley as the wealthiest place. Or who knows maybe theyre the 10% stealing the wealth of 1% who knows.
Either way ill continue my own conservational environemnt stuff. and you guys bitch about it and willfully ignore what u do that supports what u hate. at least im honest about what i do.

Pollution is awesome and good for your health, why pollute less, liberals?
P.S. Obama is Hitler

Now I appreciate why The QBN lumps environmental threads in with politics - it's the same old shit, over and over again.

I think all the ignorant, white, redneck right wing Republican morons who say seasonal weather change is proof that climate change isn't happening should be thrown in prison forever.
An oft found comment on blogs: "Still go cold this winter and snowed. Climate change is a joke."
LOCK THEM UP!!

I bet the gays love this thread. C02 is the big bad enemy, capitalism is the big bad enemy. The corporations that pollute are good because they're going to save the planet from rich people who fly in jets and stuff. We are going to have green jobs because of global warming because everything the media says is true. I want to save the planet because I care. I care about C02 to because it is the blade of the sword. I can not wait to be a slave to environmentalism because I care about C02 and I care about this planet. why should plants be able to breath C02, they're just polluting the atmosphere like the capitalists. Plants are bad and should be banned.

this is pretty funny. an ad funded by Leighton Steward from Biznutty's article above.
"So who's behind "CO2 is green" and this advert? One of its founders is H Leighton Steward who, until his retirement in 2000, was the vice chairman of Burlington Resources, a Houston-based oil and gas company bought by ConocoPhillips in 2006. Steward received the American Petroleum Institute's Gold Medal for Distinguished Achievement in 2001 and remains an honorary director of the oil industry lobby group. In other words, we can conclude that this man boasts a particular pedigree within the oil industry.
The Washington Post (which admits it has taken a half-page advert from the "CO2 is green" group) is reporting that Steward, along with some associates, is now trying to establish the group as a charity:
Steward has joined forces with Corbin J Robertson Jr, chief executive of and leading shareholder in Natural Resource Partners, a Houston-based owner of coal resources that lets other companies mine in return for royalties. Its revenues were $291m [£184m] in 2008. They have formed two groups – CO2 Is Green designated for advocacy and Plants Need CO2 for education – with about $1m. Plants Need CO2 has applied for 501(c)(3) tax status, so that contributions would qualify as charitable donations, said Natural Resource Partners general counsel Wyatt L Hogan, who also serves on the group's board."

ukit you always seem to bring oil companies and thier huge profits and power into this conversation. I'm not sure I get your angle....are you saying that the only reason there is any opposing force to man made global warming is becuase the oil companies have lots of power and put it towards misinforming the public?
- Well, it's proven to be an element of it...no denying thatukit

If there's one motivator for curbing climate change, it's money.

What happened to global warming?
This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998.

i suppose if you believe in the bible you may aswell believe in faux-science.
- And what do you believe? You must have the truth eh?designbot
- is it better to believe than to know?lowimpakt
- belief can come after knowing something beyond shadow of a doubt. Science does this all the time.designbot
- are saying a potential for error in the science destroys the entire proposition?lowimpakt
- nodesignbot
- science is based on presuppositions about laws of logic. Why do we assume it's a logical universe?teleos
- is logic a construct of the human mind? If we are particles in motion only, why trust it?teleos
- that's my point. how can you have certainty about anything?lowimpakt
- christ, literally christ. teleos is so far off its scary.spifflink
- lowimpakt you say "how can you have certainty about anything" but you are doing the exact same thing. you are CERTAIN The Bible is faux-science right?designbot
- Bible is faux-science right? Or at least not true. My point was how could you possibly know this unless you had the truth?designbot

I guess you're right, raf, scientists have no idea what they're doing and everything is a 50/50 guess.
- Nairn0
Of course it's 'scientists vs. scientists' - that's what science, unlike the irreducible actuality of Your Word, is.
The problem with your position is that the gross majority of scientists 'believe' (I spit this word) in global warming, whereas a mere niggling minority don't.
But, whatever - *dances around the mulberry bush*
