do you know what trees breathe? shrubs? grass? plants? PROBABLY NOT! so let me tell you a secret that scientists in REAL research have learned. plants breathe in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen. for plants, carbon dioxide is food and the more carbon dioxide the greater amount of food available for the plants. geologists have also studied the geologic rock record and there have been numerous time in the distant past in which carbon dioxide made up 1 and even 2 percent of the atmosphere….
.. and yet during those periods there was an abundance of life of all varieties including animals and plants. you may have heard of one period in particular it is called the carboniferous period and that is where there is an abundance of coal that we use today to generate electricity for you to use a computer. you say that volcanoes and hurricanes are good for the planet? they are natural events and are NOT related to anthropormorphic “global warming”.
you say that ‘energy should be free’ ? let me ask you something would you be willing to work for free? ask your employer if you can work for free then?
regarding taxes though, they are a drag on ALL economies and should be reduced as much as possible EVERYWHERE and that includes hidden fees, excise taxes, import taxes, export taxes, regulations and the thousands of other names that hidden taxes go by.
listen dipshit, im in college right now taking environmental technology and energy systems engineering so u should probably get off ur high fuckin horse
the only reason its not free is because we use expensive dirty energy. and i wont delve into the whole monetary situation about how money is useless now and its only in use because we are conditioned to use it, but ye it would be easy to be free.
yes and thats all well and good but the earth regenerates from its own disasters, i just dont see why u would want to spew dirty shit into the water and atmosphere when you dont have to.
its so fuckin easy to be clean and green, since i started composting, for example, i have cut my garbage build-up by 2/3 at least
here is a dirty little secret for you but you cannot tell anyone. when you compost organic residue did you know the bacteria and other organisms breaking down that organic material releases CARBON DIOXIDE in the process. bet you did not know that did you?
Basic chemistry yes, dirty little secret? no. if we reduce the burning of fossil fuels than out emissions output would be drastically reduced, so the increase of CO2 wouldn’t matter, and it would be better to have an increase of CO2 (because trees and shrubs use it, like u said), rather than overflowing landfills,
i consider myself a conspiracy theorist, i see the corruption in the world, but COMPOST? really? ur off ur fuckin rocker buddy. the simple fact remains, that what we do on this planet effects it, so why not make it cleaner for our children and grandchildren, u still have not answered that question
i know physical sciences because i work in that realm along with engineering for society. compost really does release carbon dioxide and here is another FACT for you to dwell upon. did you know that ANTS and TERMITES produce more carbon dioxide in a year than mankind can ever produce?
do ants create nuclear holocaust, slash and burn the rain forest, dump toxic waste into the water ways, no u fuckin idiot, so get ur head out of ur ass. i dont care what other animals do, i care about my impact on this planet and if u dont care about ur then fine. u could of at least answered the question instead of blathering useless facts.
so do u think that we have any impact at all? were just innocent bystanders right?
You should watch “Esoteric Agenda”, you will learn some hidden truths. This whole man made global warning is a hoax. But I understand, you’re a die hard US citizen, so you must believe whatever it is showed down your throat by your so called leaders.
excuse me, im fuckin canadian and i reject everything that is pumped down my throat by corrupt governemnts, corporations and religions, you should watch zeitgeist and zeitgeist: addendum to learn more about the corrupt powers that really be on this planet. ive spent over 10 years now trying to open ppls eyes to all the shit. i just dont see why we need to pollute. were going to run out of fossile fuels anyway, why dump toxic waste into water? these are simple questions,
i started watchin esoteric agenda – very interesting, i had already learned some of this but i like how it explains the error in time that seem kind of obvious to me, i think u miss judged my on the davos debates issue
ah yes, when confronted with FACTS that conflict with your narrow mined bias of how the world should work people like you resort to the use of profanity. well tell you what i will not stoop to your level of small mindedness with a negative intelligence quotient. go ahead and remain the self absorbed, narcissistic, vain, arrogant and hubristic individual that you have just proven to be. you have eyes but refuse to see, ears that will not listen but no brain to even comprehend simple things.
narrow-minded? narcissitic? Take a look in the mirror bud. I pursue goals to help and protect this planet while you remain indifferent, too caught up in your own pitifull life to help anyone else
oh quite the contrary!! liberalism is ALL ABOUT selfishness and the glorification of themselves and their own self importance. the goals that you pursue through the destruction of commerce, excessive regulation and governmental control result in the deaths of millions of people. a prime example of this is the epidemic of malaria throughout the world which can be controlled through pesticides yet the lofty goals of liberalism prevent such things. WAKE UP MAN, liberalism kills people!!
not a liberal bro, even tho i do not like to align myself with any particular party, if i had to choose an affiliation i would say im a democratic socialist. i dont agree with the whole ‘classes’ thing in our society, i feel everybody should be on the same page and have the same opportunities. yes extreme liberalism kills, as does ultra-conservatism. Balance is what is needed, agreeed??
you will NEVER find balance from the elite environmental wacko leftist liberals of the socialist communist community. hatred is in their hearts and especially anything that deals with Freedom, Liberty, Independence, Self Reliance, Property Rights, and Capitalism.
oh i agree that we may never see balance but, you clearly know nothing about socialism, might i suggest going to ‘the socialism website’ to clarify skewed info you seem to be portraying. and in my opinion its the far-right attitude of ‘do everything on ur own’ that hurts ppl, and i am not a liberal, i am a free thinking human who looks at info objectivley, some things i am conservative about (death penalty) and some liberal (gov. assisstance) mostly i find myself looking at closed minded ppl
you just took the words right out of my mouth satyr, finally we are seeing some logical thought on this discussion board
actually i know a great deal about socialism and the conclusion and consensus is that it kills and murders people because it costs too much to keep everyone in line to the dictates of socialist inhuman precepts. it has murdered over 150.000,000 (that is over one hundred fifty million people worldwide) people. so called “free thinkers” is an oxymoron because they have their own built in liberal, leftist, socialist, communist, marxist, stalinist, leninist, obamunist, “progressive” bias’ directed
.. against ANTYTHING and EVERYTHNG that is remotely moral, ethical or even traditional and have a special hatred directed against ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that is Religious and in particular Christiantiy. the vast majority of “free thinking” liberals are INTOLERANT, HATEFUL and VENGEFUL people with their own close minded bigotry, idol worship of non-achievers, and disrespectful of others with different viewpoints. socialism has murdered countless millions in the misguided effort to make utopia.
did you know that the production of solar cells requires MORE energy input to create than these same solar cells can EVER produce ( ie energy output ).
sounds like dirty energy to me if it is that inefficient and ineffective, HMMMM???
I don’t really care I just think Randy Rhoads is the KING of metal. Jackson RULES!!
Children of the future
Watching empires fall
Sadness the cup they drink from
Self destruction the toll
I had a vision I saw the world burn
And the seas turned red
The sky had fallen the final curtain
In the land of the dead
