    Oh no! The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Proving that Al ‘the Internet’ Gore continues to live on even after his bunk has been debunked.

    Is the climate changing? Sure, it changes all the time. Last time it changed dramatically, it wiped out the dinosaurs. Must have been all the dinosaur farts.

    Look, I don’t think anyone really argues that the climate changes. Record heat, record cold, record rain, record snows, record everything – and the mighty earth powers on. People like Gore and his enviro-wackos conveniently forget that Mother Earth is cyclic just like your moms, wives, girlfriends, and daughters and right now, she’s going through her period. Just another cyclic period in her long illustrious existence. And when that happens, some species will die out, others will spring into being, climates will shift and change, life will adapt, and she’ll settle down for another thousand years. Survival of the fittest. It’s been that way for a really long time and will continue to be, long after today’s Chicken Little’s are gone.

    And yet, if you still feel that strongly that you’re farking up the world for the rest of us, I invite you to go sit in a field and stop breathing. You will then effectively stop your contribution to green house gases and your decaying body will then provide excellent nutrients for Mother Earth to soak up – kind of like bon bons. Plus, the truly cognizant would finally be spared of having to listen to all your hot air and could then see about getting that faster than light drive worked up so we can get to colonizing in peace.

    See? It’s win/win for everybody! Three cheers for the VHEMT! :biggrin_25514:

    *yawn* Destroy, schmeestroy. Whatever. I'll make a wager with anyone who says we are "destroying" the earth: what happens when the sun ages and swallows the earth? Is it really that we're destroying the earth? Or is it that we are (arguably) destroying the habitat for life as we currently know it? How is our utilization of resources any different than any other animal bound by the law of nature?

    The chicken-little view of the environment is far too often fraught with flawed thought. Just like those who continually moan and wail over "peak" oil. Remember when oil prices spiked and all the talk was about running out of oil? What happened to all the chatter? The problem environmentalists do not want to admit is that their logic is fatally flawed. I'd wager that we'll never run out of oil so long as we have a relatively capitalist market for oil. Why? The harder oil becomes to find and produce, the higher prices will go - the higher prices go, the more attractive alternative energies become, research naturally follows and alternatives arrive at a lower cost than oil production until oil becomes irrelevant - far sooner than the last drop of oil has been pumped from the very last well.

    The problem, as one economist once put it, is that the world is not your own personal museum. There are no zero consumption species in this world. But who knows, maybe the environmentalist logic will prove us all wrong on these newly found worlds. Maybe on these worlds you can have your cake and eat it too.

    Hey i don't have the bible here right in front of me so just trying to quote from memory in Mat 24: 35 i think it talks about how "just as in the days of Noah were so the presence of the Son of man will be ( Jesus) and they took no note and the flood swept them all away " So it seems to be being fufilled there will always be doubters just like back then some 4000 years ago and just like there are today .

    Dang....good thing I don't follow that religion. I'd be in some REAL hot water.

    How'd we get from giving a one-way ticket to a bunch of Geo-nome nut cases for a trip to a brand new planet they can preserve to rehashing a debate that has already been closed?

    All of that "global warming" nonsense has been proven to be fraudulent. Thermo-recorders were moved closer to cities, others were closed or not maintained, information was deliberately skewed....in other words, they lied. And they even admitted they lied. Get over it. Find some other pet project to harp on about.

    Oh, I know....how about the effects of human ear wax on mice when it falls into their water supply?

    Smoking is good for you too. I don't care what they say :)

    Puking tons of once trapped carbon in a short 100 year spans while at the same time cutting down trees (carbon sink) will edventually have some kind of effect on the enviroment. Sure the wood in a house is a carbon sink, but it pails in comparson to the amount of woodlands and rain forest that is consumed in order to build homes. To top of it off, once a tree is dead and used to build a house, it no longer consumes carbon. Then people say "well what about forest fires". Well a forest fire only releases what carbon that forest had soaked up over the last few hundred years and in some forest, that may only be the last 80 years depending on prodominant species. We're puking out stuff that's been trapped for millions of years. I think the real question is what effect that will have on the enviroment and ultimately what effect that will have on humans because it will have some effect. 150 years ago, common sense would of told me that inhaling smoke would probably not be good for me. Unlike some of you dumb####, I wouldn't of needed the Surgeon General to tell me it's bad for me. The big difference there is that for the most part, smoking only affects the person doing it, where as in this debate, I'm stuck with all you blanking morons that are too busy worrying about politics to let common sense tell you that we should think carefully in how we treat the world we live in. Some of you idiots would of been my neighbors during the dust bowl. "No, man ripping everything out of the ground and plowing the dirt over, and over again won't have any affect......I mean as long as there is no drought or anything like that....but that seldom ever happens.....opps!"

    The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

    Whoops…already said that.

    Ya’ll just better hope Mother Nature doesn’t have a Super Volcano burp. Then ya’ll won’t have to worry about anything.

    Ever.

    And smoking doesn’t affect anyone but the person doing it? Mmm Hmm. Right. Here’s your sign. :withstupid:
