I am all for finding genuine alternatives, all for stemming pollution but the people engineering this drive are criminals.
I place no faith in the government, international community or the business sector to steer humanity
"Only after the last tree has been cut down, only after the last fish has been caught, only after the last river has been poisoned, only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten"
you know damn well niggaz aint gone read all that shit
We need solar and alternative energies. I agree with your scepticism though, Im not saying that they are the final solution or that Kyoto will do anything, but its the general move in politics and mainstream thinking that is important before any concrete solutions can take place, all I seem to be getting from the Right of the political spectrum is negativity that I am suspicious of because well founded scientific scepticism may simply be spun and used by the protectorates of the established business corporate beast. I emphasis with your scepticism but what concerns me is that although the scepticism of these scientists is valid, that is simply part of scientific thought to be sceptical and my concern is that this report will be used as a political tool against the movement in mainstream thinking towards environmental concern. People seem to have this mentality that we can just keep finding new shit to use to feed the Beast, fossil fuels fucking up the Earth? Go Nuclear! Mine the Moon! Etc. They are all bullshit solutions, we should be using what God has provided us to use on this Earth with respect, solar, wind, etc are all good because they don't fuck with the Earth's natural cycle of things. Although it is not feasible to only rely on these technologies right now we should be building towards relying on them, its a huge change because it requires a change in the human economic system, a change that will only take place if a drastic change occurs in human thinking thats why the war is political and it is an information war, hence our discussion over the scientific report. It is a war being waged through information, Global Warming is scientifically proven to be caused by us, but it may also be natural, but not ENTIRELY one or the other. It is dangerous to think that our hypothesis is utterly air-tight. The fact is both scientific camps are right, because you gotta be sceptical of your knowledge and your wisdom 24/7 or else it isn't either wisdom or knowledge. I bet you that none of those 400-scientists oppose switching our society over to green energy though, regardless if global warming is caused by human interference or not.

I think the mistake you make is thinking that any move towards this is a good move. Not in the way it's being done. All they would have to do is pitch this differently, and everybody would sign on board. However, they use fear and lies to tell people that the earth is falling apart when in reality, it's not at all.
^ Your next mistake was, you assume I believe Government has a role in this. I don't. I think it's a personal responsibility. I live in America, the land of the free, nobody tells me what kind of lightbulbs to buy. I'm glad you're pissed that Howard didn't make you buy nice lightbulbs, but why didn't you buy them yourself?
