Is EVERYONE here a child? I can remember temps being cooler when I was a kid, can't you? Something like 8 of the ten hottest years ever recorded were during the last 12 years. Yet you guys think global warming was made up by Al Gore to turn us all into slaves? I guess your not old enough to remember the 70's when this issue was first brought up, only to be covered up by every administration we've had since Carter. This includes the Clinton years too, where Gore helped them cover it up. Has anybody here ever seen the movie "Everything"s Cool"? www.everythingscool.org
I do have to concede one point to you. "Save the Planet" is about the stupidest thing I've ever heard. The earth will still be here, we just won't be able to survive on it any more, so shouldn't they be saying "Save the Humans"? That's what it's all about. I guess none of you guys have kids yet, so your not worried about the future in store for them. Or maybe you do have kids, do you hate them enough that you don't care if they survive? Do you not understand that they are predicting that by the end of the century food production will fall dramaticlly due to climate changes? Drought is drying up our farmland, heat is burning out crops that have been grown in the same fields for generations. Farmers are depleating underground water supplies to water crops, with no concern about what happens when the water runs out. Western states have put such a strain on the Colorado river that the river is often sucked dry before it gets to Mexico. Why, so we can irrigate the desert, and grow half our vegies there. Water is going to be the first major issue brought to the forefront due to climate change. California and Arizona are already having problems getting enough water, these problems will only get worse as temps and populations rise.
Our society has no morals. No concern for the reprocussions caused by their actions. We waste fuel driving fast enought to speed everywhere we go, just to save a few minutes. Yet at the same time we complain about the price of gas. If we were to drive the speedlimit we could save 20-30% on our fuel costs, I do. We do all this while complaining about criminals and Politicians breaking the law, even though we ourselves are lawbreakers. You may say "I'm not a criminal for speeding, everybody does it". I guess your parents never told you the story about not being a lemming. Your probally thinking I don't hurt anyone by speeding. Excessive speed is listed as the major factor causing many fatal collisions. I don't believe in accidents, wrecks are caused by people breaking the rules of the road. Usually they made a decision to run that red light, or stop sign. They knew it was against the law, they just didn't care. I care, I am crippled for life because of one of these idiots. He was such an idiot he didn't even wear his seatbelt. That's why he's dead now. You may not think I know what I'm talking about, I would say life has taught me a lesson the hard way, and that's just what I'm trying to keep from happening to you.
Now that I've bothered you with such a long ranting post, I'll let you go so you can catch up with your friends as they run toward the edge of the cliff.
