WE"RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!


Ozone hole is bigger than it has ever been

The Antarctic ozone hole is bigger than it has ever been at this time of year, threatening populated regions of south America and New Zealand with harmful levels of ultraviolet radiation.


Last year's hole was smaller than those recorded over the previous decade, leading to hopes that the protective ozone layer in the upper atmosphere was beginning to recover from its destruction by man-made CFC chemicals. But early observations reported on Friday to the British Association science festival at Salford University show that the hole, which appears every southern spring, is returning with a vengeance. The findings suggest that reduction of CFCs will take longer than expected to benefit the ozone layer.

You, you, you anti-earth bad person you. Don't you know that man is capable of destroying a planet. :mad:

Destroying a planet? DAMN we're good

It's really not that hard, I wouldn't be too impressed.

This planet has taken hits from meteors that can create a moon. Yea, it is that hard.
 
Are you talking destroy as in disintegrating it or destroy as in making it unfit to live on?

Hell, flav, I'll bet we can't even do that. Make it unfit for us to live on, maybe. BTW, Gonz, we are all going to die. I promise. :D

That is one of Huge's favorite openings.

Take your pick. We aren't that powerful.

Ive seen a few nuclear scientists who would beg to differ.


Hell our number one natural resource...the ocean is extremely fucked up right now. Several natural coral reefs which exsisted for millions of years before us are now virtually decimated. Entire rain forests wiped out, air pollution off the charts in some areas, rivers, springs, and tributaries unfit to drink from with a corresponding dying off of natural life around them, entire species of animals which were here long before us...now completely extinct. Entire ranges of wild life and their corresponding species...wiped from exsistence. When is the last time you saw a buffalo in the wild? A herd of wild horses?

Hell the earth is practically unfit for "life" now (IMO).

Studies show that urbanization, city overcrowding, and even urban sprawl (people trying to get the hell out of the city) have all lead to an increase in health problems, depression, suicide, and a shortened life expectancy.
 
If we detonated every single nuke on the planet, strategically, to cover as much land mass as possible, there would still be large areas of habitability. Not pretty but stable.

Species have come & gone since time immemorial. Mankind has little to do with it. No, I haven't seen herds of wild bison recently...nor have I seen herds of wild horses & I know they exist. Not many herds of wild dinosaurs either. Part of nature-death & re-emergence. Rain forests can return. Air pollution is not a man made phenomena. Certain types of pollution are, granted. The ozone hole, it's being decided, is a naturally occuring phenomena too. The waterways are being cleaned up. When violators are found, they are prosecuted & usually made to pay for the clean up. We're still paying for mankinds stupidity of the past, but it is improving. Time will take care of it all.

re the study-isn't that what happens when we weaken the gene pool? For all the immediate help that medical care provides, it does let the stupid & weak survive to passs on their genes.
 
Gonz is right. dinosaurs were the dominant life form of the planet for what, twenty million years? We've been around less than two hundred thousand. Maybe we could succeed in destroying ourselves (but I doubt it) but render the planet uninhabitable? Never happen. As a species, we like to congratulate ourselves on how intelligent we are, but I've long wondered.

You get a huge Whompin "Amen" for that one. I have and quite often do...say the same thing myself. :trippin:

Believe him, he is telling the truth. We have discussed this on several occasions.
What I am most curious about is how AE often likes to bring up how God won't let him pass on his own genes - it will be interesting to see how right he is sometime in the next several months.... ;)

if we'd let all nuclear weapons detonate in the atmosphere i'm pretty sure the earth would be unhabitable for human life :D

not all life, it's not that easy....:D
 
we could let all teh nucleur weapons off at one place and see if we can shift the earth's orbit.
 
Listen: We could make this place unfit for human life.

Example: Before I eat chili, any room I am in is fit for human life. After I eat chili, the room is no longer fot for human life.

If we fed everyone chili, the whole planet would be unfit. The greenhouse effect would trap the gas in our eco-system. Humans and plants would die because all the CO2 and O2 in the air would be replaced by farts. Humans and plants could no longer exchange CO2 and O2. Humans and plants would botu sufocate and die.

And so on.

We can easly make the planet unfit for human life, but I think to make it unfit for LIFE is almost impossible, evelution moves in leaps and bounds, if we corrupted the ecosystems that much, mutations (natural, not 1960's giant cats, etc) would abound until some other species became dominant.

It's the methane that would kill us all. Stop eating chili, oh the humanity. :lol:
