Yeah... ok. Either way. It was a "shortest distance" type thing. Show an orgization doesn't hold that manmade global warming is true, by pointing out the one just mentioned. There have been such drastic climate changes before... people just naturally want to feel responsible for everything and that everything is in there power. That and the real scary thing nobody actually wants to talk about... and the real reason we want it to be man made is. If it isn't. There isn't shit you can do about it. |
So...is your argument that simply because it is possible that we might not be responsible for global warming that we should do absolutely nothing even though it would benefit us to move away from carbon based fuels anyway? And when the alternative could potentially devestate the earth's entire ecosystem if we do decide to do nothing? That doesn't sound like a winning argument to me.
To me that's kind of like saying if you lost $20 and don't know where it is or if you even lost it at your house that if you looked through your house and found $15 you lost elsewhere but never would have found if you hadn't looked that you completely accomplished nothing. And if you hadn't found that $15 you wouldn't be able to pay your rent and get evicted. I just don't see a compelling argument for doing nothing.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
