    Yes. My whole life plan was destroyed by human impacts on the environment. And 30 years of environmental policy hasn't helped.

    So, what's the use in worrying? Live and enjoy.

    Sounds like a discussion for the religion section of this forum.

    Oh, oh, a little bit over your head.

    BTW:I don't care how may sugar pills you take, believing your amputated legs will grow back is going to be a complete waste of time. It's not "belief" that's important; its knowledge and how you use it.

    Like I told the Aussie. This sort of discussion should be in the religion section of this forum.

    Ah, but "is" or "isn't" is the foundation of everything, and there is no getting around it.

    Man’s ingenuity will solve this problem, not his paranoia of doomsday fantasies.

    It’s amusing that “Lennon” wrote an anthem to the Communist Manifesto, but not in any way “Enlightening”.

    and tonight David Attenburgh made clear that we are in climate crises. For a conservative like him to say that you had better believe it.

    https://www.dailykos.com/stories/20...ve-Reached-Moment-of-Crisis-on-Global-Warming


    His talk of just over 1 degrees is the lowest possible estimate. I don't mind if you want to die and have no children or grandchildren to care about but we are in this together and so if some countries do not work we have all had it.
    His view that we will reach 3degrees rise in temperatures is interesting. I assume he is meaning if we do get our act together. 3 degrees change in temperature would put us in a situation where we have societal collapse and it likely would come before 2050. You have about one minute to get educated on it or you lose you chance. I am for very strong sanction on countries which are still adding to their CO2. The US is one of the worst culprits and one of her most damaging inputs come from her never ending wars.

    Bet the world it doesn’t happen. None of this bullsht ever does—just like that WW III they canceled last week. After all that hysteria...pfff! instead of WW III we get the Iranian version of the Three Stooges operating a missile battery and taking down an innocent commercial jet liner. WTF.

    we are at our last chance. Destruction of the economy does seem to be one of the deniers anthems - perhaps they are paid by the fossil fuel merchants. Renewables are the cheapest source of energy. However one thing is known. The longer this is left the more expensive it is going to be to put right. Those countries which move to renewables now will have a much better standard of living than those who are determined to choke the earth and lay off doing it till they are feeling the result badly - because the US is already feeling the result with increased extremes of weather and rising sea level.

    I just don’t want a gun pointed at my head telling me I can’t eat a burger while I drive down to the Florida Keys from Fargo to get a little warmth and have a little romance. I love fossil fuels because I love life—and fossil fuels, like GE, bring good things to life. And I despise being forced to live according to another’s delusions, just because they have the mob to back them up. When did the principle of individual rights get annulled?

    Well, Trump is bad, but this certainly wasn’t. This was a big wack up the side of the heads of murdering tyrants, and they felt it.

    Sometimes, even the devil has due


    But you’re right, that’s the position the Leftist media spewed out.

    don't live in the states then
    No you love using fossil fuels when it is known and has been known for over thirty years that if we keep using them we will cause our own destruction and when cold hard examples of this already happening are now easy to find because you love death and you want everyone dead.

    You can't reverse global temperature. Nobody can we have no control over that.

    95% of all life has become extinct before humans were even here.

    In what world would we have any control over that?

    Every body screaming that the world is going to end thinks that they are right.

    I live through 4 proposed apocalypse that that the was not the case this time.

    You need to find a pushover to accept your cockamamy religion. I don't believe you or all the other cockamamie doomsday nonsense you preach. Just like I don't believe flat Earth people telling me gravity is a myth.

    not sure what environmental issues ruined your whole life plan? but people are trying to create change, but yes, some fight it every step of the way and some go to far in wrong direction trying to help it

    the issue? Pacific salmon, specifically, pacific salmon in the Columbia river.

    I fought for years for change but " green" liberals still flooded the state, polluted the rivers and ruined the fish runs
