One of my major contributions to the environment that I'm very proud of is simply "Not Breeding". IMO the most damaging thing you can do to the planet is put another consumer on it.
The whole environmental movement is based on a false premise.
The war cry is "Save The Planet" as if we can destroy a planet. OK, I'm sure if we put our mind to it we could actually destroy it.
What they mean is, we are making the planet unsuitable for humans to live on. Big difference.
I hate the destruction of natural habitat but I have resigned myself to accept it.
Growth is the new god. No country will accept that their economy should remain static or shrink. So birthrates are allowed to continue at an unsustainable level to provide a market for goods and services to drive the economy.
More people = more pollution; CO2; land concreted over and the rest.
All the crap about "Carbon Trading" is just another way for filthy rich people to become more obscenely rich and will do nothing to halt global warming.
So, to save my sanity, I am not going to get upset about somat that I'm powerless to prevent.
OK, so having studied environmental sustainability at post grad level for the past three years, I have to ask how does that work?The most recent studies are actually suggesting(to the point of proving) that co2 is in actual fact a very important coolant, there is absolutely no connection between ANY form of co2 and global warming let alone man made.
No carbon, no lifeNo Carbon- no trees. - we die. Simple as that
Trees and plants flourish in higher carbon atmospheres and if we are gong to feed this ridiculously large population of homo sapien then we had better stop trying to cut the co2 levels, as a matter of fact we need to get it as high as we can.
In the meantime, we need to focus on renewable fuels as it won't last for ever.
As someone said, its not a problem for the planet. Only for the life adapted to living in the planet in the current conditions.We have had times with much higher temperatures than this, and with 10x the amount of co2,(before man's deliverance upon this earth, so where did it come from?)
Yes, it is only the rate of change that is diferent at the moment.The Earth has been warming and cooling since it's formation. Giving us Ice Ages and balmy warm periods, the Romans were growing grapes in Newcastle for instance, and Lion and Hippo lived here in the UK.
That has a lot to do with it.Yes we are warming up, its natural, and if you want to find out what drives our Earth's temperature, then look out the window at that massive ball of radio active material that has been raging away next to us for the last 4.5 billion years, that might have a little to to with it,
They are presumably the oceanographers who study ocean circulation and glaciologists. The MOC (or Gulf stream for shorthand) has decreased in strength, leading to fears there may localised cooling in the north atlantic (we are, going on past history of ice ages, at the end of an interglacial and about due for another iceage) but the IPCC says its unlikely to happen now due to a general warming trend. And as we cannot as a species think very well outside our realm of experience, if it feels colder here then its obviously colder everywhereIt was only 25 years ago, that they were telling us that we were slipping back into another ice age.
The Global Warming SCAM is nothing more than a tax raiser, and the sooner we all wake up to this fact, the sooner we can take REAL action and do the right thing, and that is to stop deforestation and other REAL forms of pollution, something that is rarely spoken about and totally overshadowed by the Global Warming Scam.
Its no longer 'Global Warming', its now called 'Climate Change'
This is not directed at anyone in particular (although it may appear so. But honestly, it isn't) - but have you ever noticed how the phrase 'keep an open mind' usually translates into 'be a gullible fool and believe anything'?
What "keep an open mind" means is don't believe the propaganda crap that pours out of the TV everyday, start thinking for yourself and check out and listen to other sides of the science, something that as of yet has been hidden/ denied from and to the general public.
The evidence is overwhelming, and so is the action in the court rooms.
Ok Durulz
I think you have tripped yourself up mate, as I think you missed the bit where I said THINK FOR YOURSELF
