'greenhouses gases' aren't shit, think about everything that we've done to the world in the past 50 years, it's not gonna suddenly get fucked up!!

World war 2, hundreds of oil tankers were sunk worldwide, MILLIONS of bombs were dropped, think about all the shit caused to enivironment by that!!!

Since then, what have we had? 30 years of nuke testing, Chernobyl, fucking loads of pollution everywhere, and now we've cleaned up our act the world is suddenly gonna get hotter and kill everyone??

nah, don't think so! :dance:

No no no, I'm not trying to say global warming is bullshit at all, no way. I'm just saying these bloody stupid concerts are bullshit because they don't do any good at all. Instead of wasting time putting on a bloody pop rock day of fun, why not just fucking do something!!!

I agree there, but the thing is there's nothing anyone can do on any scale, the world changes, and has been known to change a hell of a lot more than now, so maybe it's just changing now???

I know there's no solid real proof either way (other than meteological records from the last 30 years, woah such a long time!!!) but how long has Earth been here? the span of the human race is tiny and insignificant in the whole scheme of things, so I think it's a little arrogant of us to think we can change the world so easily!!! it's a gert fucking planet!!!!

"The decrease in the number of pirates in recent years has been cited as proof that humans are irreversibly raping our planet, giving it syphilis which gives the planet a fever and thus causes Global Warming"

I see what you're getting at actually. Yeah, there probably isn't much we can do - and you even learn in school that the sun is always expanding, so whatever we do the earth will melt at some point! I suppose we can at least try and slow it down by reducing on all our madness, because there's no denying we have contributed to madness of everything. And etc.

Humorous indeed.

Dunno if any of you watch Mock the Week, but it may be of interest the amount of carbon emissions unleashed was something along the lines of 31, 000 tonnes. We're saving the Earth, hmm... :^o

And besides people are so frivoulous with this stuff. To be honest there are ways we can at least cut down on emissions that are so simple that it seems a stupid person could do them, but then again most of the human race is beyond stupid anyway. :lol:

But there are just things like switching off the plug or the light when you've finished with it. Or are people so limp wristed now that it takes a tonne of effort to switch off a light switch. I also wonder what the point of leaving shop lights on during the night seeing how the only people seeing it are chavs and drunks. Dealing with these issues really isn't going to make a big impact on our personal lives. Also the oil is running out so why do we persist in using plastic packaging when in many cases paper would be just as good.

To put it simply, WE'RE ALL DOOMED! :lol:

Or Carbon Emissions are doing fuck all and it is to do with solar seasons.

I don't want to rant but you're all mostly talking out your arses.

The events raise awaresness - a plus. However, they raise little interest. Few watched Live8 because of poverty, less watched Live Earth for the cause. The latter probably did result in causing more harm to the environment than it was worth (unless the organisers organised the event to be carbon neutral - I doubt). At the end of the day, if these celebreties actually put their fucking money into these projects instead of using it as a distorted mix of free-advertising and conceited 'philanthropy'.

Africa has been fucked up through imperialism. There is a concept that exists called global justice. It's where you don't act like a cunt and spit on people less fortunate than yourself. And you certainly don't wash your hands of responsibility when your privileged position of geographical wealth has been at the cost of others.

Global warming and environmental crisis are a a genuine concern. Have you looked at the fucking whether recently? To argue that it is arrogant to assume we can fuck up the planet is stupid. More logical to assume that it is acceptable to strip-mine the planet for business-interests.

Finally, cows ARE fucking up the environment. It is because they are massively over-produced, resulting in them eating up a ridiculous amount of feed (rainforest is chopped down and used, grain is grown over the land to feed cows) and farting deadly gases into the air on a massive scale. Hence, a vegan who drives a hummer causes less damage to the environment than a meat-eater who doesn't drive. To stop global warming, massive alterations to the meat industry is paramount. This is rarely discussed because it makes you sound like an animal-rights terrorist and it makes a lot of environmentalists look like hypocritical shits.

This is of course not a feeble attempt at post jacking in order to use one of the new smilies.

God Forbid.

Well if you are correct then we are fucked regardless and should start heading out for the mountains and get ready to live in Windwaker world.
