Let’s look at the impact we are having on the environment.
- The number of category 4 and 5 storms has doubled in the last 30 years
- 2005 was the hottest year we’ve recorded. 19 of the 20 hottest years have occured since 1980
- Water temperature has risen 10 F in the last 50 years
- Global warming is responsible for at least 150,000 deaths a year
- Mt Kilamnjaro will soon have no snow upon her peak
- Glaciers are melting left and right all over
- If the whole of the Arctic melted, sea levels worldwide would rise 20 feet.
a)Shanghai, China, would be mostly under water. Home to 40,000,000 people
b)Calcutta, India area, 60,000,000
and in Manhattan, New York, the World Trade Center Memorial would be completely under water.
Our kids, our grandkids, will ask us, "Why? Why didn’t you do anything? Why didn’t you pay attention to what was going on?"
Our survival - as in, yours and mine - is hanging on the edge.
Mankind’s survival is another story. Makind will pull through. We’ve managed other ice ages and global warming before, right? Apprantly of an even higher magnitude.
However, it is your children’s, grandchildren’s, your lives on the line.

I mentioned Calcutta and Shanghai being flooded.
I’m going to put those figures into perspective.
60 million + 40 million. Million.
=
100 million.
Now, think of the impact of one hundred thousand refugees on the United States.
Then, think of a hundred million.

YEA! MORE FOOD FOR ME.
I dont know, the way I look at it. I want to be the last mother fucker in a jacked-up four-by with a stroker 383 running on racing fuel with no cat. converter.
I’ll be polluting the fuck out of the environment while everyone else drives those stupid ass electric go-kart cars from chink ville.
Thats is how the RER feels.

I think theres a smarter way to create electricity and heat...
fossil feuls are completely unnessesary. dont they create methane gas or something? i wasn’t exactly paying attention in class....
....annyyywwhhooo...
hydro electricity, wind power and solar power should be our main resources... they’re very safe, environmentally friendly and don’t fuck around with the ozone layer :D

I think that while they are still available, we have to make the most of it and use them. Saying that, we’re gonna have to prepare for the future aswell so i think we should also start using re-newable resourses such as wind farms.

But what about those fuckass morons who say the windfarms are ugly and "pollute the landscape" and stuff like that? You can’t win with those people.

Windfarms are noisy, hidious, muck up radars, bad news for wild life, plus they actually waste more energy than they actually save.

Hey guys!! You forget (or didn\’t know to begin with) that Humans aren\’t the ONLY thing that changes the cyclical pattern of how cool or warm the planet is!! It\’s NATURAL for Earth to cool ad heat as things happen, of course you are correct that we ARE having an impact, (and it\’s debatable just how MUCH impact) the cycle would continue even if we weren\’t here to stink up the place with our Fossil Fuel poisons, it would probably just be different.

Although i do not agree that using fossil fuels is a good thing yet, here are some Interesting facts,
: The Kyoto Protocol is a treaty signed by all countries in the world,
The 2 countries that haven\’t signed up are
America (No Suprise)
Australia
Why Not hydro power you say?
For an average australia to run
Hydro Power it will cost
Double there normal Power bill.
Thats huge.
If we left the trees up it wouldn\’t be getting so bad.
