Don’t worry, eventually the climate will stabilize and the pollution will be removed once humanity is cleansed from the planet or reduced to manageable numbers (

some insects aren’t worth saving, and deserve the Hits

Yeah, global warming happens. So what? Eons ago, global cooling happened too – we called in the Ice Ages. That was caused due to “human” activity as well? Quit whining about this and try to innovate out of the problem – invest wisely and live well. In the meantime, stop feeling guilty about “pollution”. Pollution is as natural a concept as the human being or the rare insect you are trying to save for some godforsaken reason!

well , the good part of global warming

is that people in Africa can start a good economie on air-conditions (on solar energy) and start offices in good climate buildings instead of staying outside and do nothing because it’s too hot

so they can join the industrial world, of where their problems will melt as snow for the sun

Actually, to here pResident Tush tell it, China’s admittedly astronomical emmissions are being used as the excuse for the US not to curb emissions.
And, yes, China is developing, and we can’t slow them down, otherwise how could Tushie afford his war?

The massive increase has come mostly from China. We have decided that China’s emissions don’t matter because they are “developing”. So much to do about nothing I guess. Pretty sad.

Aldous Huxley wrote an essay 50 years ago called Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Read it. Watch for the bit about us living like drunken sailors in a Golden Age. This crisis we’re facing has been in the minds of scientists and thoughtful people for a very long time.

The Feds are currently considering providing $ 34 billion in low interest loans through the rural electrification program to build new dirty coal electric plants that would undue all C02 reducing efforts made on local and state levels.

The Fed never leads on anything. Neither Dems nor Repugs will do anything. We are just getting happy political talk.

Until people get it through their superstitious minds that developed countries cutting their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by over 90% by 2050 (for a 50-50 chance at avoiding dangerous warming) is unrealistic, no serious discussion is possible on the subject.

Imagine a WWII Concentration camp with the Nazi prisoners skin and bone starving, hollow eyes dully staring at you. But, this group spreads out as far as the eyes can see-there is an ocean of eyes staring at you, blaming you for their pain and misery.

Why? Because you could not imagine any solution but the unrealistic and weak mitigation strategy of cutting GHG emissions. You couldn’t advocate any other solution, because you thought any price was worth paying to stop what has caused this horror. The problem is that the people who had to pay for the only “solution” you advocate refused, causing gridlock. Because of your stubborn, inflexible, and foolish refusal to consider a realistic solution, those people are doomed to their pain, misery, and despair.

The only solution for global warming is to remove the CO2 from the air after it has been emitted. Nature has to be improved using genetic engineering-perhaps seeding a GMO into the ocean. Imagine opening the gates of that Concentration camp and letting those tortured people out to enjoy the bountiful fruits of a healthy climate. There is still time to get realistic.

Wow. I just ride the bus and don’t watch the television. I could be doing more of that “happily screwing” thing, though.

I agree Shane, even a gnat like him needs a good swatting.

Zooey is too charitible. I think squiggy is more like a mosquito. Better swat him before he bites.

JPark. From what I have read, Squeegee is like that funny pal of yours, that is cool to hang around in a bar or if there is beer involved. But, in the middle of serious conversation, is the guy that gets bored and starts throwing napkin balls to get attention.

squeegee, you have no standards. If they give you attention you are HAPPY!!! Positive or negative, it doesn’t matter.

squeegee, um, I didn’t use an I because it would be deleted. Not tough to understand.

Careless:
Carpooling
Buying locally (former organic farm owner)
selective purchasing
hybrid driving
no tv owning
minimal meat eating, sustainable fisheries grubbing
until recently free range poultry/pig raising/ no antibiotics
no cell phone, gaming and assorted coltrain and other mineral intensive usage using
happily screwing but not exceeding replacement contribution to population
and most importantly…
Educating the youth as to how to avoid the myopic “I am so little , what difference does it make” mentality.

Go check your tire inflation and think about what you are doing. In little is much. The forces of coporate consumerism shill this idea that an individuals contributions are too little to matter.

Heh. You’re funny, Squeeg. Are you working late, or posting from home? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you here at night.

No, squeegee, I will say what I want. If â€œoh, for f!cks sakeâ€ good enough for you?

If you wanted to say it, why use a ! instead of an i?

Heâ€™s more like a fly buzzing around delicious honey.

Eh, fair enough.

Zooey, no way he wants to land anywhere near me.
