We could save the planet IMO if we made these three sacrifices (holidays, dollars)

[donniedarko]

1) Enforced strict taboos/laws against wasting resources.
2) Greatly reduced our electric power needs so that at least 80% is wind generated. Solar isn't good because of the rare earth metal mining it requires.
3) Rationed meat very tightly, so we only used it as garnishment for most meals and only indulged in it on the holidays.

I think if the whole world did those three things alone, our footprint would decline immensely.

Guess what?
The planet is going to 'survive' regardless of what is or isn't done.
People may not, but the planet will.

I agree. She has survived an ice age, asteroid strikes, earthquakes and our pollution and complete disregard for nature and the environment. We will probably be gone one day, Even if it takes millions of years. 10,000 years after we are, our monuments will have fallen to the land and time leaving little trace of us. And I believe eons later another species will evolve into sentience. Maybe they will even get it right that time around.

We truly live on a jewel of a planet, even despite everything we do.

A lot of incredible species may not survive modern civilization. It wouldn't bother me much to see civilization fall apart. It's accomplished nothing but the destruction of the environment and freedom. A few modern conveniences don't make up for the evil of creating the atomic bomb, etc.

Insane IMO.

We should of course make sure we don't pollute the ground water and such, but the rest is all BS.
We have no control over the planet or weather.
The lead scientists pushing all the left wing man made global anything was shown through leaked Emails to be all falsified studies and done to get grants, government money and to get government control over the people.

We should watch our water supply.
We should do a lot more oil and you can't for a moment depend on windmills for anything but a good musical on Broadway.

Look, let me help you put your BS to bed with logic and facts.

#1 Mars and other planets are having the same change in weather patterns. They have melting snow at their poles and man has NOT been there.

#2 Ever notice we find Dino bones, sand dollars and such in the middle of the Sahara, on top of mountains and even under lakes or some oceans? That should tell you the natural state of earth turns itself on it's head over time.
Would be due to comets hitting, pole magnetism shifts, volcanic eruptions and so forth.

Since we are finding in the past man was not around and that there are things buried deep from under water to the top of mountains from the sea, that should tell you man does not have much control over this planet and NEVER will.

The LAST thing man needs to do is give control of our freedoms and lives to dweebs who are attempting to represent a planet or thing that doesn't talk as an excuse to run any political policy.

Better people not pollute the soil, try to get cheap gas and when the cheap green science comes it will prove itself and people won't be having to pay through the nose for it.

Even electric cars are actually stupid versions of gas cars. You have to plug them in the wall and when you do so you are plugging into generators that are often powered by gas and coal.

God Bless America, God help the gullible. Don't buy into the BS.

Or just get rid of half the population.
