Freedom has to be exercised responsibly or it passes over into license and luxury in the negative senses historians used of the Roman Empire. That’s what SUV’s and F-150’s etc. are: our licentious and luxurious chariots. And our fate will be simila to that of the Roman Empire.

Why are you here? Do you really get that big a kick out of parading your astonishing igonrance and humiliating yourself? Did you think abject stupidity was an admirable trait. I mean I like a free clown show as much as anyone but you are just sad.

R E M E M B E R:
THEY(sic) HATE US FOR OUR FREEDOMS AND WAY OF LIFE…
And so THEY(sic) have lobbied, debated and legislated away foundational Freedoms and altered our way of life.

and on a calm night you can hear a muffled voice sayin I wish I could quit you

Kee-Riste this is a stupid troll.

Add that to simple things like outlawing incandescent light bulbs and “drive-thrus” and we can reduce our greenhouse emissions quite a chunk. Of course, such measures would also reduce gross consumption so the energy industry and it’s whores won’t do it without being forced. And as long as idiot trollish types Believe “it’s impossible” it’s up to thinking people to keep the pressure on.

The CO2 emission levels that the UN people are pushing for is the same level the USA had in the 1870s. That’s impossible to achieve, and not desirable either. We would be ruined, and besides, you’ll never get China or India to go along.

There’s nothing we can do to change the weather anyway, that’s the bottom line.

I’m sorry, but if you heard this broadcast and weren’t immediatly sickened at how moronic political discourse has become, then you’re an idiot. Republicans are trying to make the uneducated and uninformed their base. By calling people with a firm grasp on our energy crisis “elitits,” they are blatantly appealing to those ill-informed enough to make serious political decisions. Like the automotons that chanted “Drill, drill, drill” at the Republican Convention, anyone who thinks that the U.S. can continue on our current path of super-consumption is seriously disturbed.

The man believes in freedom, like that that was dispensed for the better part of the 19th century.

Then stupidass todd (msnbc) and his bs map of all the red states he believes mcchimpy has is just plain bs. that dude makes me sicker every time I watch him.

How can mcchimpy win? Is the US that fuicking stupid?

And I never heard such bs in my life. white people will say good things about Sen. Obama in person and then will vote against their better judgment. Why vote for doom, thick head?

Another little tidbit: after all their fake bs about Sen. Obama’s pastor, look what mcchimpy does. mcchimpy sought after and reached out to the dippy “preacher.”

It’s like a “gotcha” moment or “I make you look.” Typical repugs bs.

The human race needs to reconsider how, when, and why we burn carbon-laden fuel. The rest of the industrialized world is already taking steps to do that and are creating whole new industries as they go. Unfortunately the good ol’ U.S.A. is falling behind on alternative energy. Just like we did in production of automobiles and consumer electronics. But, what the heck? If you are happy to replace Mideastern oil with German solar panels and Chinese wind turbines, wait for them.

Reducing emissions is not only possible, it’s already happening. People claimed it was impossible to reduce other pollution sources yet, we have done so. Everything from cars to coal plants are cleaner and more efficient than they once were. And we have stopped the emissions of some; like DDT, PCBs, and Dioxin.

As for human respiration, I once thought that too. However humans typically replace other creatures and require densely planted crops so, the vast number of people doesn’t greatly increase the net CO2 content of the atmosphere. Simply burning stuff in a wasteful manner is an entirely different story. That’s all carbon which would not have been in the atmosphere; not to mention all the other toxins we needlessly pump into the environment.

Plus, we humans have already changed the weather. Believe as you wish but, there really is no legitimate debate on that point. And I’ve seen it with my own eyes as have countless thousands of scientists and lay people alike.

So? I humbly suggest you STFU, take your favorite verse, fold it four ways, light it on fire, and insert it in your Southern orifice. Cause you sure as Hell don’t have a clue about what you are arguing.

G’night good people.
You too trolls.

I don’t have faith in junk science. I do, however, take the facts presented by real science seriously. No faith necessary.

And no economic destruction necessary, either. Switching from a fossil-fuel based economy to a renewable and sustainable one will create jobs, not destroy them.
