Fuck Global Warming and to Hell with the Economy- We've got Bigger Fish to Fry! The jury is out on Global Warming; while the changes may be man induced it is not yet clear whether or not the changes will be long-term beneficial or damaging to the inhabitants of the earth. The economy, despite what naysayers believe, is in excellent shape. In fact the world economy is expected to have an unprecedented boon like no other time in our history over the course of the next few decades. Middle Africans may even soon have plenty of fresh drinking water, and be watching television from the comfort of armchairs. This latter fact, of a booming world economy will however ultimately lead to our speedy demise. You see, there's this little talked about event that's been happening over the course of a few millenia, referred to as "Mass Extinction". Mass Extinction (ME) has been having an accelerated domino effect and, as the name suggests, has been the number one killer of all life forms on the planet for many generations. ME should be our number one problem for all of mankind to work diligently and expediently to try and resolve, but sadly, a relative very small percentage of our species even thinks about it from day to day. Those who do contemplate its seemingly inevitable consequences are quickly overwhelmed by the reality of Humanity's greedy nature. Fortunately there are still a few things we can do to combat Mass Extinction. 1. Heavily Regulate Global Industrialization. All nations of the planet must work together and stop the progress of the current form of Global Industrialization. This means we will need to implement both national and global laws on which type of industrial activities will be allowed and where. We will also need to enforce strict regulations in order to maintain that these decidedly beneficial industrial activities are not being advantaged for any individual's or group of individuals' personal gain over others. This of course means that we will have to stop complaining about lazy people taking a "free ride" and voting for their share of our hard earned money. Technology has progressed to the point where relatively few people can easily oversee the production and maintenance of robotic machines which are able to provide food and materials to entire nations, performing many of our undesirable tasks. A computerized system of machines is at this moment sewing and harvesting enough food to feed entire countries, cleaning our clothes, and even feeding the dog, so you can just sit back in your cushioned seats, grab the remotes and chill. 2. Stop having kids. Individuals need to make a conscious day to day effort to avoid having too many children, if any at all are even necessary. There are plenty of children in need of good parents. So guys should be sure to wear condoms, and/or pull out in good time. It's important for women to stop sneaking kids into this world by lying to your men about whether or not you can get pregnant. If you're not on the pill regularly or don't have some other form of internal birth control system in place, then you need to tell that to your man. And guys; Don't be so naive. Also- Don't rape women. Parents, teach your kids that: Children should come from a place of love, and shouldn't be viewed as a means to attain a personal crutch. Surgeries can be performed on both sexes if necessary(Thanks Capn Obvious). 3. Protect more of our existing resources. Use military force to defend against any who wish to disregard protective boundaries for their own personal wealth. 4. Spend vast amounts of tax dollars into the development of cleaner renewable sustainable energy. I've heard it said that we as a country put 75% of our entire Gross National Product towards the effort in the World Wars. Perhaps it's time to think about throwing some serious effort toward Alternative Energy Production. Buck up righties, this means Big Govment Regulations. 5. Mandatory recycling laws. Your ass wants to throw a soda bottle in the trash, then you can sit in prison for a while and think about what a douche bag you are. 6.
To put in another way- The growth of the world's current economy is like the growth of a tumor in the ass of an economist. Please pardon my vulgarities ladies. I sometimes get a little charged after drinking a monster beverage and thinking about the death of our race. I mean no ill humor to those with ass cancer, nor do I think the demise of our planet is a joke.
"The jury is out on Global Warming; while the changes may be man induced it is not yet clear whether or not the changes will be long-term beneficial or damaging to the inhabitants of the earth." No, the jury has been in for quite some time. The consensus is overwhelming and the effects will definitely be bad, they are already starting. CO2 is a greenhouse gas and we have increased it's levels by 40%. This what we are looking at. Among all the env. problems this is the most serious threat to all life on earth.
I was speaking relatively, of course. If humans die out due to, what, suffocation due to carbon monoxide? Then won't some other life form benefit from the raised levels? I have no doubts we're screwing up the ecosystem by raising the greenhouse gases to such degrees, but can you really say with absolute certainty the detriment to life on the planet due to global warming is irreversible? ME is certainly irreversible, and we can only hope to curtail the bleeding at this point...IF we are able to stop it, we will have certainly made the changes necessary to prevent global warming. Granted, the earth and life itself could presumably survive the ME induced by mankind's activities, especially when mankind has perished. Are you saying that man-made global warming will effectively and permanently sterilize the planet of all known life forms? I'd be obliged to learn the reasoning behind such a theory.
No- I want to widen the borders, so to speak. You know the little circles on the globe that protect certain areas of the ocean; widen those fuckers way out! And those tiny circles that surround protected rain-forests- widen those too while your're at it. And many more circles too. If you try to use those areas to add to your own wealth, then thalt shalt die a quick and merciful death by the covenant of the people. That's the idea anyway.
"ME" will occur because of global warming. Ecosystems don't like change and especially rapid change as is occurring now and will get worse.
Military personnel needn't even be used to execute the perpetrator of the covenant- it could easily be taken care of by drone forces, thereby washing the hands of man clean from the matter.
Sorry, FC, but that's not very conclusive. Many plants and animals throughout North America and other great regions will benefit from substantially raised temperatures- archaeology has shown us that in the distant past, life prevailed in much higher temperatures without the need for even oxygen. To say that humanity will survive without an abundance of species is just a poorly placed bet. Besides, as Global Warming (GW) alarmists and ME alarmists, aren't we after the same changes? Haven't I provided some changes that will work for both of our causes? Feel free to add, or change any of the following suggestions, as the solutions will likely overlap many different problems...
