Subject: Re: [VO]:Global warning caused by humanity-- now factually based.
There are scientists who disagree with Dr. Brenda,

No doubt, but Dr. Brenda said nearly all climate scientists now agree with
the recent overwhelming data that clearly indicates humanity is the cause
of global warming.
Well, since Vortexians seem to love a good logical fallacy argument....
....this entire thread is developing into an appeal to authority that is so
large Godzilla will have to come out of the sea of Japan to do battle with
it.
I've no idea who "Dr. Brenda" is exactly, nor do I particularly think the
teachings of Richard Hoagland are going to solve much of our problems. I
listen to Art Bell at times, I take almost nothing of it seriously. It is
light-hearted entertainment, and I love spooky stuff late at night, real or
not, it is all just as fun.
Should we try to cut emissions of "bad" gases? Sure, why not, but not at the
detriment of the basis of our society, that is, the working class. Maybe
anyone in an environmentalist organization should be given a severe tax
increase to support a changeover to something else, or to be used to buy
those dandy carbon credits. Call is the "practice what you preach" tax. No
more or less stupid than the "how many congressmen does it take to change a
lightbulb" thing, or however that little gem of bovine waste product was
worded.
Does anyone here on Vortex want to actually work on stuff like this in the
real world, like real world solar power, electric cars for the people (not
fancy BS jobs that cost more than a Mercedes-Benz, but cheap stuff for the
poorer among us), etc? Or is this becoming a list for the "new
televangelism?" Believe me, if I could afford it, if it was available, I
would use an electric car to go back and forth to work. (But I would keep
the Buick for longer excursions.)
Does anyone want to really discuss this stuff, and make it happen? Or at
least try wholeheartedly? I'm game, I've been working on things quietly in
the background for years. "Vortex Electric Vehicle" anyone?
Humanity is destroying this planet, period!
Our definitions of destroy must be very different. Altering, changing, yes.
Destroy? In my book, that would entail overcoming the gravitational binding
energy of the Earth, putting it "in orbit around itself". Or, if you mean
"render uninhabitable", no we aren't doing that either. Life will be here
long after we are gone, if we go.***
But, that said, if you want to do solar power, alternative fuels, etc., man
I am right here with you.
***What is that...optimism?!? I suppose, the Sun is now shining and it isn't
so cold here today, the long string of unseasonable cold caused by the
increase temperature of the Earth, no doubt. :)
