The environment is in big trouble; the only way to save it is to stop the world population from increasing. Stop making babies!

 

sierraben, haha! I'm sure a number of us have contributed to global warming with those funny hand rolled cigarrettes. I think the hippies odor killed the ozone layer. Tell them to take a shower and all will be well. Good luck gettin that to happen though.

 

fbodyfan, Then you would have water pollution.

Me?; contributing to the global warming with those funny hand rolled cigaretts?

Naw! Not me!

 

The Earth goes thru cycles. It went through at lease two ice ages. It went through global warming..eg: few glaciers left and melting rapidly. Anyone who thinks we humans can control the environment and it's natural cycles is daydreaming..period. I'm not saying that man doesn't AFFECT the environment, but we are as natural an Earth critter as ever was or will be. Dinosaur flatulence caused global warming? A meteor?? Who knows, but I'll say this for certain ... next hurricane comes along...blame man for not being able to "control it". Next tornado comes along..blame man for not being able to "control" it. Next earthquake, volcano etc.... step out on your front porch and blow real hard in that direction.... yeah!! thats it!! we ALL run out on our porch and blow real hard.

Am I being facetious...( sarcastically humorous ).. I hope so. Man is so stinking arrogant if he thinks he can control this planet under any circumstances. It's always a name calling blaming someone thing. Lets all do whatever we can to divide the people of this country and see how long before chaos and more stupidity breaks out. The Earth is going to do what it is going to do..always has..always will.

( Boy am I waiting for the other shoe to fall now! ) Flame on! But be careful... you'll warm the globe up!
We're all gonna die!! Oh no! Hep me Mr Bill Hep Me!!!! ( Snicker, snicker snicker) And yes--there ARE more trees now than ever before.

 

Fordlover 55, you're my hero!

 

fordlover, you must be a fan of Carlin, too. nothing like breaking away from the sheeple and using your head for more than a hatrack.

can you say "media hype"? .....I knew you could.

 

I wonder when china is gonna stop reproducing.....Whats the latest numbers from over there? 1 Bazillion and counting? If people would quit reproduicing and used a little thing called "Commen Sence" things might be better. But between over-population,wasted use of resources,etc.... And people wonder why we're heading for global warming.......take 2 countries the size of the U.S. and asia and take all the CO2 they put out and waste,then combine the rest of the world and tell me it aint gonna affect the earth somehow.

 

Plant trees on top of skyrapers,

keep chlorine out of the drinking water to thin the herd, but call it chemical free, kind of like getting people to buy evian(N A I V E !)

make airplanes only fly to the east,

make Mr Bills(Gates) monster house control all the A/C's in California(Honey, the Air-Conditioner is blowing a blue screen thru the vents again, we need to call rectangular support!),

stop people from living in unlivable zones(Vegas, Arizona, Alaska) cause they use 5$ of energy to produce 4$ of cool/hot air,

bring in new rules for car emissions to emit MORE carbon dioxide to feed the trees/plants,

plant fruit trees along roads and highways to reduce dependence on big-money farming corps that are bankrupting the American Family Farm while at the same time thinning the herd when they pull over on the side of I-5 to pick apples and berries blocking trafic and causing accidents that unfortunately take a good carbon dioxide producer(fruit tree food) out of commision so the survivors can buy another car/truck with paper money made from trees grown on rooftops transported by east-flying planes that have A/C on so the customers can enjoy their *chemical free* water

 

China already has a strict one-child per couple rule in place and has had that rule for quite some time now, BUT rules are made to be broken...and I could be unknowingly repeating BS that was told to me, who knows?

 

Pray for more lightning. No, I don't mean the one from SVT in this case.

Lightning creates ozone. If you ever get struck or darn close, you'll smell it.

Mother Nature has her ways as I have said before....not that she needed me to clarify that point, though.

 

We are headed for gloal warming, real quickly, to boot.

It was mid 50s overnight. Sometime before I wake up (and the Astros knock the Braves out...) it will be like 70 degrees outside.

That's global warming. In my world.

You may want to walk up to a few volcanos as well and ask them to stop what they are doing. Good luck, though. I bet Mount Rainer put out more CO2 and other glorious waste than man can in a few decades.....Hey a lot of those downed trees went into making the roof of Key Arena in Seattle, which was fresh.

Anyway, don't get so wound up over stuff out of your control...Overpopulation will be countered in short order by AIDS. Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, lovely Haiti, younameit. Like I said, Mother Nature will cleanse herself. I personally don't want to see a cure for AIDS just for this reason, but AIDS doesn't need my help to mutate and stay steps ahead of lousy do-gooders who are making suppressing drugs that only prolong an infected person's life to allow them to spread the diesease in an even wider circle.

 

This may sound like somthing Carlin would come up with but think about it before you reply.
All objects that spin seek a balance. Therfore as the earth spins it trys to balance itself to maintain its equilibrium. As we mine mega-tons of ore and minerals from the earth and redistribute them,(coal and iron ore for instance) we disturbe the earths balance. The earth in responce has to shift it's weight to "rebalance". Therefore we have earth quakes.
This is just what we do and will continue to do. Human nature will not allow us to change. The onlything we CAN do ride it out as long as it lasts and make the best of it. As Carlin says, The earth has been taking care of itself for billions of years and will continue to do so. when it rids itself of it's present "infestation" it will be ok. Guess what that infestation is. US!

 

> The earth in responce has to shift it's weight to "rebalance".
> Therefore we have earth quakes

I do not know where this bit of information was obtained, I almost thought it was a joke. The top surface of the earth that we mine is just a thin layer of crust on top of massive plates which basically float over the earth's molten core. Earth quakes usually happen when edges met and ride over each other. That is how we get mountain ranges.

We can not do anything to effect them, even if we took every nuke weapon and blew them all up in the same spot. Even if we lit up an Omega device, all we are going to do is destroy the air we breath and the ocean which provides it, not effect the earth itself and its' orbit.

 

I don't believe in the global warming crap. But I do know we are messing up the ozone. And I frankly don't get how the earth could be billions of years old. I would think thousands of years old instead. fordguy101

 

redneck engineering spatial equilibrium theory as applied to this big blue marble:

the earth "has" to rebalance, I don't think so, I think it is forced to rebalance...a.k.a. the moons effect on tidal events for instance

also, the majority of us drive trucks(why else are we on this site?) and need to get our tires balanced, right? we do this because no tire is ever perfectly round. and how much weight does it to take to balance this heavy rotating mass? a few ounces, right? and where are thses ounces placed? - at the edge of the steel/aluminum rim, right?

so, we compare the above observation to our little blue marble, which is also not perfectly round. when earthquakes happen, they are caused by the mantles of this earths crust shifting, right? we all know what the tire/rim combo looks like, now imagine layed over top of that image, the image of the earth in a cutaway veiw to show where the crust is: well, that would equate to right about where the weight on our tires/rim combos are placed right-where the mantles are shifting?

it only takes a little bit of mass to throw off the rotational vibrations of an object while it is spinning

I think I'm done.....for now
