That's true Security. All mammals exhale CO2. Now, perhaps you can estimate how much CO2 humans exhale and how much they dump in the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels?Quote:

Since the US produces 25% of the CO2 created by burning fossil fuels and only has 300 million population, the most equitable method of achieving the most efficient way of removing excessive people/CO2 would be to depopulate the US.Quote:

I've had fun messing with dawgbitten and alta and others in the past about this. Let me just say that I don't doubt that it's getting warmer. Also, I don't doubt that man is responsible for it to a degree. However, my stance is this. When all the people complaining about what man is doing to the environment decide that they want to help solve the problem by no longer using the products that are created by the processes that make this problem, then maybe I will take some action on it.

You can't argue with that.Quote:

There is no such thing as global warming. Chuck Norris was cold, so he turned the sun up.
Now do you believe.....?

"America is on the verge of technological breakthroughs that will enable us to live our lives less dependent on oil. These technologies will help us become better stewards of the environment, and they will help us to confront the serious challenge of global climate change."
I sure hope so, but more for the reason that we can tell the Middle East to piss off when this point comes. That way we can stop most of the money floating around over there supporting terrorism. The Middle East would struggle to be any kind of force if oil went down the drain. Maybe it would force them to get education and other means of progression instead of reliance on oil.Quote:

So lets all agree to stop giving arguments that Global Warming is here and is serious. 91% of America agrees with you. The other 9% aren't going to. Ever. Let's move on.
