| Actually it's environmentally friendly as it runs on wind power. |

so what, a few cranks from the scientific fraternity start disagreeing with worldwide consensus and suddenly we're all wrong? ;)
basically my comment referred to gumbles "we all evolve, time moves on etc", when we all know evolution is a really slow process, and certainly not fast enough to keep up with manmade global warming. |

depends what scale of time you look at pkc :p
my main point is that we can't take ourselves outta what we do to the world, we are inevitably going to change it, and therefore we have to adapt (prolly should have used that word instead) to our consequences. it doesnt at all make it right tho.
i think its quite healthy that people are challenging the idea of global warming tho, being mainly attributed to what homo sapiens get up to...
as a zoologist i whole heartedly appreciate the need to try and preserve what we have. but i think its also important to recognise that we are only in the here and now, the planet has gone through many periods of warming and cooling, and this has led to evolutionary changes and differing levels of species diversity.
there have been many more (and greater) mass extinctions that what humans have done, and allthough i dont think we should use that as an excuse, the point is that the building blocks of life still exist beyond what we can possibly do to the planet, and life will go on...
the thing with this earth hour, as raised before, is that anyone can see that its not going to do anything. if one hour of non electrical usage can change the millions of hours of usage, then i think we would have been in a LOT of trouble, a LONG time ago.
the real solution and bottom line is this: GO NUCLEAR. :)
radioactivity is what makes the world go round (literally). |

you have to keep an open mind about stuff like this...
yes the temperature has increased
yes the temperature has increased and decreased before
yes there is more CO2 in the atmosphere than before
yes CO2 is a greenhouse gas
yes there are other greenhouse gases
yes CO2 makes up less than 1% of the atmosphere...
yes there are things like clounds that can act as greenhouse gases, lets ban all clouds!!
who says global warming is a bad thing anyway? would you all prefer to live in an ice age?
im not saying that its all bull, but its not all concrete one way or the other. |
