So, as a simplifier/simpleton, I have a simpleton question...
A) burning all this stuff is bad for the earth and for us
B) burning all this stuff is not bad for the earth and for us
If the answer is A, we should slow down on the burning or at the very pathetic least, slow down on the speeding up of the burning.
If the answer is B, party on Garth.

its not bad for the earth..the earth doesnt care, it bad for us...It is pretty arrogant at this point, to think otherwise...the earth has been through much bigger disasters with bigger consequences than our little carbon polluting would ever do..99% of species on this planet are no longer, and whether is out fault or not we are next...and there is nothing we can do about it, despite our best efforts to terraform mars.
to think that 100 years ago there were basically no cars....is it fair to think 100 years from now, there wont be anymore?
I have no problem getting off Oil, cutting down emissions etc...going green all the stuff, but dont deny this isnt the birth of more big business...and that people who think they can make some cash off of the green movement aren't funding everything they can..(just like big bad oil!).
