I don't do normalDida said:try to live a normal life for a while.
Oh I am relaxed, but ya gotta get some worked doneDida said:relax.
Hows about we work to keep ours in halfway decent shape so we don't have to waste all the energy to evacuate. And actually tthe technology we use to impore the environment actually is more efficient then the stuff we use now. Doing more with less, it's a great thing.Dida said:before the earth explode we will likely find another planet to pollute. or if not, i will dead anyways.
AceChilla said:Also the earth has seen massive changes in temperature. A couple thousand years ago Europe was covered below massive layers of ice. I didn't here anyone complain about global warming when that ice melted. Once the country I live in was a tropical sea. All those changes without any human interference. And now it's becoming a couple degrees warmer and everybody panics.

How exactly do you phrase your parting comments to them as to what they can do afterwards? for all you care, daddy.
Dida said:i rather have my dad leave me with millions rather than some ideology about energy conservation. the good thing is, my dad will probably leave me with millions, and he has no idea about conserving energy, all his thoughts are bend on conserving money.
Dida seems to think with enough money he can buy health, buy life, buy time.newfangle said:Conserving money and conserving energy are the same thing. The environment and the economy are the same thing.
I totally agree with youluiz said:Global warming exists and man most likely is playing a key role on it.
However "some people" tend to grossly exagerate the effects of the current trend, to the point of complete absurdity.
It is laughable when someone claims that global warming will cause the end of human civilisation in the next 40 years (and many people said just that on some threads here at CFC).
In short, man-caused global warming exists and may have some bad side effects, but it won't cause the end of civilisation.

It's not all bad news, those climate changes. And those bad effects of it, well, most of them we oughta be able to keep under control by damming, landscape engineering and agricultural renovation.
I used to feel that way too. Then I traveled to other places.Dida said:Well, I am in perfectly good health, and even here in NYC, the air quality is totally great and refreshing.

FearlessLeader2 said:The earth is currently starting on the warming trend of its 280 thousand-year warming and cooling cycle. Solar output is increasing almost identically with planetary temperature. It is conceivable that man-made pollutants are contributing to this effect slightly, but the warming itself is as inevitable and inescapable as the next tick of the clock. Nothing man is now capable of doing can stop it or even slow it appreciably.
Short of a UN resolution to Launch Solar Shade, we're losing some coastline. Get over it, people.
