Global Warming

Re: Global Warming

Also how many ppl saw John Stossel reporting on the "We're running out of oil" and other myths last night? I laughed so hard I almost cried ... almost. its like am I supposed to be excited that we have enough oil that can be found in the earth/soil that we can completely ruin our planet? Greeeat. Having a sense of urgency that oil was running out and needing to find alternate forms of cleaner energy was a good thing imo.

I remember in elementary school being told about oil and rainforest depletion. I believe the estimates back then (late 80s) were that oil would run out around 2015 and the rainforest would be gone by 2020, something along those lines.

Industrial logging of rainforests absolutely must stop, now. You can visit the sites in my earlier message (like www.ran.org) to learn how to help. We are the last generation who can stop that and we have no alternative than to do so. The rainforests provide much of our oxygen, not to mention the million other reasons they must be protected. The aesthetic value of rainforest and old growth forests is priceless.


That's probably a good estimate for the oil (but with energy conservation and alternative fuels, we could stretch that much longer.)

Re: Global Warming

I just woke to the sensation of my body on fire and the smell of burning FLESH. I hate those feelings--especially the skelton feeling. I am reposting this because it is very important. I also wanted to remind everyone that I am mother nature and what you do to the least of creation, you do to ME--and thus to yourself. Instant karma. If any you feel those sensations at some point, you'll know why (right now, likely due to eating beef).



Rain forest
Mist and mystery
Teeming green
Green brain facing labotomy
Climate control centre for the world
Ancient cord of coexistence
Hacked by parasitic greedhead scam -
From Sarawak to Amazonas
Costa Rica to mangy B.C. hills -
Cortege rhythm of falling timber.

What kind of currency grows in these new deserts,
These brand new flood plains?


If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?
If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?
Anybody hear the forest fall?


Cut and move on
Cut and move on
Take out trees
Take out wildlife at a rate of species every single day
Take out people who've lived with this for 100,000 years -
Inject a billion burgers worth of beef -
Grain eaters - methane dispensers.

Through thinning ozone,
Waves fall on wrinkled earth -
Gravity, light, ancient refuse of stars,
Speak of a drowning -
But this, this is something other.
Busy monster eats dark holes in the spirit world
Where wild things have to go
To disappear
Forever

Re: Global Warming

Like we have stated before, there is no reason to believe that human activity is causing global warming, if the past is to serve as an indicator. There is no conclusive evidence to conclude that humans are the cause or accelerating global warming. As such, it was perhaps the only wise thing Bush did when he trashed Kyoto.

Re: Global Warming

yeah burning half of the planet's supply of oil really shouldn't cause any changes at all. It should have an absolutely zero effect.

1. Show me the proof that we HAVE burned half of the planet's supply of oil.

2. Show me the weather patterns of the last, ohhhh, 3,000 years so we can see if the last 200 years of industrialization has had any effect.

If you are talking about peak oil, you should consider that it is not a full-proof theory. In fact, peak oil rests on the assumption that we actually know the exact nature of proven oil reserves (which we do not), and the assumption that oil is exempt from supply and demand (which it is not).

Re: Global Warming

oil is no more useful after the uranium, torium and borium. Nuclear energy keeps burning nature everyday more.. seems like nobody gives a flaying shhht about
