Watch the shit that starts.
Now I am a Christian and I do believe in the Bible etc, but some scientific facts just can't be overlooked.

MrBishop said:"global warming" may be an overstatement,...and you're free to laugh yourselves silly over it, calling it a liberal quest for grant money.
BUT
The increase in air pollution through the industrialization of third world countries, the increase of the number of cars and trucks on the ground and planes in the air, plus smokestacks pouring out whatever the fuck they want is NO joke. Whether is increases greenhouse gasses, cools the planet, warms the planet or doesn't touch the planet...the point is, it fucks us humans up, but good.
Ya want any indicators of what air pollution does? Google asthma stats, or emphysema stats etc etc...
Raise your hands if you remember this many kids having asthma when you were a kid. How many kids do you remember walking around with an inhaler in their pocket? How many now?
Surprisingly enough, I saw very few children in the "third world" with any of those problems...Only in the "first world". Wonder why that is?

The industrial revolution started in the 18th century, and there have been polutants being pumped into the air since and with the increasing population the polution will increase... What do you sugest? Radical birth control or Genocide?

It was happening long before the industrial revolution. Mt St Helens put out more 'greenhouse gasses' in one eruption than the entire Western hemisphere put out in 50 years...and that's not counting the constant stream of 'pollutants' put out by the planet 24/7. If we went to 0% manmade pollutants today, we'd see less than a 1% drop in 50 years.

How about a radical change in thinking? Lets have higher emission standards on our vehicles and make...not suggest...make industries actually give up some of their bottom line and filter the shit they're throwing out into the water and air.highwayman said:
Poor big industry will cry foul. How dare we cut into their multi-billion dollar profits with draconian laws that stop them from dumping megatons of carcinogens, carbon monoxide and other toxins into the air??!?
How will we ever compete with the Chinese with that kind of thinking??!?
FASCISTS!!!
COMMUNISTS!!!
..and then the politicians will cave.
I'm starting to like that Genocide idea... I vote that we start with Lawyers and politicians.

Start by breaking the unions. That'll free up billions without touching the bottom line.
Our children have the blessing of the combination of pressure treated lumber, air conditioner mould, carpet chemicals, chemicals all over furniture, cleaning chemicals, deodorants, perfumes, soaps, detergents and being cooped up chronically inside the soup by their soccer moms in airtight homes.Gato_Solo said:Surprisingly enough, I saw very few children in the "third world" with any of those problems...Only in the "first world".
