Can We Save The Environment With Our Passion?

[QUOTETrees are a renewable resource, not like the other fossil fuel energy options. ][/QUOTE]

They may both be renewable, just come in a different time frame!

My new motto..

The Greenest Products are the ones that already exist and more importantly... the one's I already own... so do your part for the environment and keep that old equipment running.

Never made sense to me to see neighbors tossing out perfectly good Clothes Washers and other Appliances just because a new one a double or triple the price was purported to use less energy... what about the energy cost of making the new and environmental cost of disposing of the old.

Another neighbor that drives about 2,000 miles a year to the market and for doctor visits traded in her low mileage Ford Crown Victoria for a Toyota Prius... she told me her Grandchildren have been after her to get rid of the gas guzzling dinosaur and go green...

Have to marvel at the wonders of marketing.

It's not marketing, it's indoctrination. My child will hear the other, factual, side of the story.

If you ask me this whole "Global Warming" thing is nothing but a money maker for the Gov't. By selling this to the general public it opens the door to PLENTY of carbon taxes that will not only be levied on big companies but also anyone that burns oil in any way, shape or form. nevermind that global warming doesn't actually exist. Atleast not by the hands of humans anyway.
It is all a scam to get money and they will say anything to convince the public. Case in point, The polar bears were recently put on the endangered species list as a tactic to convince the public that they are declining down to nothing. But, the truth is there are MORE polar bears today than just 25 yrs ago!!!

BTW--- I shoveled, plowed and snow blowed 265 inches of global warming this past winter. That is 130 inches OVER our average.

More animals, less ice.

Yeah... more percipitation.



The planet changes, has done so since the beginning. Do we have a hand in it? Of course we do. The debate is - how much do we impact change?

I know everyone here loves tractors but the environment gets worst each day are there any way to reduce our wastes and etc?

Google Goes Green

Google have done that in their domain, we can too in ours!

There are many ways to "reduce our wastes and etc" but humans wont do them. Humans aren't going to do anything significant (except talk) until the pain of climate change exceeds the pain of population control. Even then it's questionable humans will be smart enough to stop breeding. There's going to be a population "adjustment" this century one way or another. The only question is will humans be smart enough to do it themselves or will Mother Earth do it for them?

So then maybe the powers that be should have put the ICE on the endangered species list, not the bears ( that was simply a scare tactic)

SO if we get MORE snow and brutal winters it is a result of global warming? and if we get little snow and mild winters it is ALSO a result of global warming? can't have it both ways..

If the planet has been changing "since the beginning" how could we have had a hand in that change? we were no where to be found. SO, if it was changing on its own then why is it NOT changing on its own now?

Take a look at the photos of Earth from outer space...This planet is doing just fine. NASA should build a space ship large enough to put all the Enviromental Whackos on it and send them to the Moon to sweep up and we would all be a lot happier...LIVE WELL, LOVE MUCH AND LAUGH OFTEN... I'm done !

Any chartist knows it is the hard right edge of a chart that is always the mystery ...the chart your post has no quantitative qualifiers..it begs the question...What is the end of never ? or what is infinity ? Who really knows how much life this Earth can support ..What do you suggest with your chart..Kill all the people...We already kill millions of babies every year...The chart without many more facts is meaningless. It is a Joke !
