Global warming: Ignorance and Hypocrisy...

Geez, i sure hope when I have a family I don't have to pay taxes anymore. It would be terrible if my children could attend a good public school system, be guaranteed some level of social and health care should my spouse and I pass away and worst of all have emergency services close at hand should there be problems.
 
your 100% right every word and i have something to add. its not cars causing global warming like every one in a hybrid says it huge factorys, transcontentle flights, trains (yes per person the train uses more fuel and more co2 then a car). but yet every one disses on those in an suv sure there not good but as trans portaton goes the only thing that beets it is biking.
 
You missed the point. I dont mind paying taxes for this stuff, as long as the people keep it in check. Its the fabricated crisis of man made global warming that I dont want to be paing taxes for.
 
Dude, please dont send people to read this crap. in the world of econnomics he is viewed as a nut job.
 
No kidding who would assume that people who liked to do things out doors would maybe care about the outdoors they do them in.
 
you're a total prick. you can't even spell economics, and you have the balls to shit all over one of the greatest thinkers of our time.

dude, economists who don't view the biosphere as finite are the true nut jobs. after all, it is their flawed principles that have guided us into the situation we're in today, and if they continue on, ignore scientific consensus and steer political thought away from it... well, paychecks and taxes will be the least of your grandchildrens' concerns.
 
"Situation we're in today", what,? the fact that we are a rich nation, have cable television, a roof over our head? what situation are you talking about? Oh wait, I forgot, you believe the whole "man made global warming" thing. This is a created crisis by the media and others in powerful positions that want to have more control over you.

And while you shout out name calling, ill stand by the fact the there is no proof to man made global warming.
 
Yeah the ramifications of rampant growth have always been positive.

Certainly left unchecked businesses have always acted in the interests of the environment.

excluding of course love canal, ddt, ect ect
 
ok for starters steven harper, the concentration of CO2 (among other greenhouse gases) in the atmosphere. you know, the fact that it is at all time record levels? that would be a "situation". hmm, how can it get worse? with current levels of logging and deforestation due to market demands (a case of the economy ignoring the intrinsic value of natural capital...), we (the earth) will not have nearly enough forest to act as a carbon sink and cleanse the atmosphere if current consumption levels remain static, and population continues to grow. want a source? bill rees, the UBC professor who came up with the idea of the ecological footprint.

bottom line? the climate is changing, and quickly. we have a huge global population and have decimated global fish stocks, we are draining massive aquifers at levels well above their recharge rates, we are consuming non renewable fossil fuels at even faster rates to the point where they will likely become obsolete by the time our grandchildren run the earth (speculation). if we can have effects on this scale in the biosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere... then why is it so difficult to admit we can also fuck shit up in the atmosphere in such a short period too?
 
Hahaha. You're so young and naive. Printing off a billion dollars on paper doesn't mean we're rich. Do you know anything about the Treasury? When we left the gold standard in the 30's it was the beginning of our money being worthless. Our dollar is worth less than 3 pennies compared to what a dollar was when we left the gold standard. Look up the definition of inflation. Coinage in America is coming to the point that it would be worth more if we melted it down and priced it soley on it's value as a metal.

Anyone ever think that we'd never have to pull iron ore out of the earth anymore to make steel if we just melted down all the cars in every junkyard in the country to reuse that steel?
 
"Fuck it, im going to live my life the way i want to, Who knows, who cares. I wont be here when it gets 1 degree hotter. I wont be here when it causes the world to end.

I listen to myself and what I want to do. Im not going to waste any sleep over this stuff because it doesn't benefit me to do so." -Delphi

I want you to look back at what you wrote and realize what a fucking selfish asshole you are.
 
To all the people saying moronic things such as "fuck thinking about the

future," and "live for today, and in the now" I think you need to personally, have the future placed in your lap. And by that I mean Children. When that day comes, hopefully your mind will break out of

"your own world" and "your own time" and you will actually start caring

about the path we pave for the future generation.
 
Global warming is not caused by human affect. The earth goes through cycliical patterns of heating and cooling. We just so happen to be in a particular time where it is warmer rather then colder. Other places where it is still cold you will never here about global warming. It is just a natuaral cycle that that earth follows. It has warm cycles and cold cycles and that is the way it is.
 
[sarcasm]

So one biased view (your economic perspective) means he is a nut job? By that rational, Steven hawking's should be classified as a nut, along with Einstein and even your lovely little Nobel prize winning economics buddy John Nash (I mean, the guy has schizophrenia, he must be a nut)!

[/scarcasm]

Its the linear thinking if people like you that is killing this planet. No one perspective is the 'right' way to look at things. Systems interact with many other systems throughout their day to day operations and not looking through those perspectives makes you one very biased and misinformed little person. Good luck in life, you're going to need it a whole hell of a lot more then I will.
 
STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS FROM A GLOBAL WARMING PERSPECTIVE. IT GOES MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH DEEPER THAN THAT. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX FOR ONCE.
 
yeah, look at every other post i've put in this thread. i'm sick of repeating myself (no offense, i just keep seeing the same ignorant posts over and over). but hell, i guess i'll reiterate it briefly. basically, global warming is true, but the word "global warming" in itself (in my opinion) is completely false (not factually but hold on, i'll explain it). The word itself and the politicization of so called global warming has essentially kept us from acting upon it. Now, I cannot simply expain this briefly on the internet but the fact that such polarization exists in our country is the reason (and i believe this is intentionally done so) that we have not achieved any significant enough awareness and gains upon what we are doing to our own earth, not just the atmostphere and it's impact upon our earth, but to the earth itself. I dont' want to repeat myself any more so if you want back up information, read the thread.
