dave32 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Okay' date=' if you don't believe in global warming, why do you think its being pushed on us? I want to hear why you think the opposition is so hell bent on changing things? [/quote'] Because its easy. It deflects govermental criticisms, allows goverment to set up even more quangos, opens the door for more taxation, allows goverment to take more control of our lives (chips in wheelie bins for example. These are just the ones that come to mind. My .02 = humans and our activities have an impact on the planet, ozone, climate, and what-not. Exactly how significant it is = in question. I think the planet may be a bit more resilient than our collective egos would like to believe, and we're not 'all that' from the perspective of mother nature, which could likely shrug us off without noticing we're gone. From multiple trips to Arcata CA (ex girlfriend), I was exposed to some fairly militant environmentalists, most of them members here: http://www.northcoastearthfirst.org/ - but there were also several smaller groups active. Some of the people involved were pretty sharp --> but a lot of them weren't and I got the sense that the real reason they were there was because they wanted to be part of a movement fighting 'the man.' And that's people. They're irrational, they want to be part of a group and believe they're the good guys, and some will take the fantasy aspect of that pretty far. So causes like this which aren't clearly defined and center around end-of-the-world rhetoric... I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are just the ones that come to mind. The oil companies don't need to do anything, why should they? There is a finite amount of oil and they know that we will depend on them until the last drop is sucked out of the earth... One reason global warming is being pushed to the front of the line is to keep us from seeing the real pictures - higher deficets, unwinnable wars, grwing unemployment, more home foreclosures, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayjann Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 when i woke up on friday morning to 3 inches of snow and temps of -degrees i certainly had the feeling that the talk of global warming 'might' not be as accurate as the experts say.
