Global Warming is our biggest challenge as people in our times, personally I'm well beyond the debate, I'm no scientist but I get the fuckin picture - Humans are fucking up the planet. The media and politicians debating the issue is really what I hate here.
Al Gore thinks its real.
George Bush think it's up for debate.
Sarah Palin says she doesn't care, but she does, she is incredibly connected to the Oil Industry, like, to the point where she was praying for oil pipelines and Energy deals. Like honestly praying to God for them. Do you pray for gas lines? This video below is of Palin doing just that.
The argument continues to dominate, for each crooked scientist and politician Big Oil pays off the debate is given a few more years of fuel. This is a distracting. The Corporate media is in on the act, they create an atmosphere where you have pick a side (a distraction I say). They do that, and while the ignorant public is distracted, fisheries collapse, mammals and birds go extinct... Blah blah animals, habitats, hippies, blah, basically The worst case scenario involves water shortages and/or a climate shift that will completely change geography as we know it.
Humans are fucking up the planet and I get nervous about that. Sure, I recycle and have nice energy efficient lightbulbs, but fuck this is a bigger problem than me. It's a bigger problem than the USA, than Canada, than Britian. It's a global problem, and I'd hate to see what happens if it's not contained and fixed asap. Some politicians want to wait for China and India? That has got to be the worst excuse.
Perhaps we are living in that religious fantasy of a world full or wars, death and destruction, is our only hope Jebbus? Fuck. Sarah Palin thinks Jesus will be coming back during her lifetime (she does) and I will start to believe her too, especially if loons like her continue to run the fucking world.
Conversations these days should not be about whether Global Warming is real or not, they should be about the solutions that will fix the "lack of resources to sustain our population" problem, you know, Energy, Food, Water. Honestly, whatever it takes to keep the lights on, the food on the table and the water clean and plentiful; that should be the #1 priority of government. The direction we seem to be headed in right now is one where our resources run dry, they've been saying this for years.
Would you rather invest crazy Amounts like $700 Billion or $1 Trillion on things like "Wallstreet Bailouts" and "Wars on Terror" or...
This is why I would like to see Barack Obama lead in America. I hope that once he's in office, there is no more debating, they just get started on this "Barack-Apollo Program" to save the world and their economy. Can you imagine the amount of new jobs you can create once you start the New Energy Revolution? batteries, solar panels, crazy cars..fuck anything, vertical farming! Jet Packs! He wants America to lead in the manufacturing of the products that the world will need in the Future, sounds like surefire way to make money. Especially if your administration is setting the bar for what products the world needs to function properly, and that all just sounds like common sense me, but I'm a crazy guy.
There are so many ideas and products already out there that are lined up and ready to be manufactured to save the world. The problem they can solve is the "lack of resources to sustain our population", let's get started shall we?...oh.. or we sticking with that whole "all our money goes into war and security"? My apologies if I'm out-of-touch.
Who knows we might be 1 month away from a real World Leader, the Barack-Apollo Program could really be the "Game-Changer" America needs to lead the world again towards to brighter future.
God Speed America, I look much forward to an internet less polluted with American Politics stories.
I Hate Global Warming

I've noticed that when there are perceived "crises", there's often people who tend to take advantage of them. Often to push their own agendas.
For example, consider the 9/11 crisis....
- It was taken advantage of to push agendas in Iraq. (Things like a Regime change. Setting up another puppet Government. Occupation. Setting up more military bases. "Control" of the oil supplies. Prevention of the oil being sold in another currency besides the US Dollar.)
- It was taken advantage of to push agendas in Afghanistan. (Regime change. Creation and control of a Oil pipelines.)
- It was taken advantage of to push agendas in the USA. (I'll sum this up by saying... pushing the USA to becoming a Police State like the UK.)
- And it looks like it is going to be taken advantage of to push an agenda in Pakistan.
Did any of these things have anything to do of a group of mostly Saudi Arabian's who were involved in 9/11?
For other examples....
- Look at how the Reichstag fire was taken advantage of.
- Look at how the succession of the Confederate States was taken advantage of.
- And even for an example right now... look at how the current economic crisis that's going on right now is being taken advantage of.
(There's more examples of course, but this comment is getting long so I'll save them.)
So, lets say you believe that #1 Global Warming exists, and #2 that it is being caused by the activities of Man.... I think one should be cautious of the "solutions" to the problem people are trying to push.
Someone might be trying to push an agenda.
I believe you are correct when you say that. However I have tried to understand what agendas are being pushed and if those agendas include "Cleaning our lakes and oceans", "Finding alternative energies" and "conserving Nature and habitats"
I tend to like those agendas, I might actually want those agendas pushed.
"I have tried to understand what agendas are being pushed and if those agendas include "Cleaning our lakes and oceans", "Finding alternative energies" and "conserving Nature and habitats""
If things like "[c]leaning our lakes and oceans" was the only type of agenda being pushed, there wouldn't be much to worry about.
I don't have a list of stuff to watch out for, if that's what you asking for.
Likewise (immediately after 9/11), I don't know if I could have come up with a list of all the agendas that were going to be pushed in Iraq and Afghanistan, as a result of 9/11. (And I don't know if I can predict the agendas that seem like they are going to be pushed in Pakistan, in the name of 9/11.)
My comment is more to encourage people to really really think about what people are trying to do in the name of global warming and see if they actually agree with it........ and not simply accept a claimed "solution" simply because someone claims it to be done in the name of "fighting" global warming.
But if you want an abstract example.... if someone told you that we need to tax everyone when they wear clothes with the color red, to fight global warming, would you go along with it (simply because it is claimed to fight global warming)?
Or if that's too abstract... how about these....
What about jailing people who are critical of papers written about global warming? Many people tend to say Censorship is wrong... but if it is in the name of fighting global warming, is Censorship OK then?
Not to mention that part of the Scientific process is being critical of other people's research! But if it is in the name of fighting global warming, is it OK to not only skip but make part of the Scientific process potentially illegal?
What about some groups who have been pushing forced "population control" agendas (especially of certain "less desirable" groups of people)...... if they simply claim that is to fight global warming, is that OK?
What about certain political groups that want to push their own styles of rule...... if they claim it is in the name of fighting global warming, is that OK?
The thing is, I really don't know what agendas people will try to push. I can think of some possibilities. But I keep a critical eye open. Even if I agree with the ends... I am still critical of the means used to get there... and don't automatically believe claims that their means will get "us" to the ends they claim. They could be lying just to push their agenda.
