    'liberal scientists'? Please explain what you mean by this statement. By 'liberal scientist', do you mean those scientists who are not in the pay of big business? Please clear this up for me as I'm confused. Thanks.

    My point is that the scientists claiming that global warming is a clear threat and not just a strange theory are often labelled as "liberals". Wich I find stupid but my post was made in reference to the first posts of the thread.
    And my other point wich didn't seem to be to clear was just that in the name of pre-emptive actions (wich have changed the face of the world these last years) we should act on this issue (global warming of course).

    You're right in that it is stupid. But fair enough.

    It would be interesting to know in what kind of shape the planet will be in in 50 - 100 years time. I'd love to make you eat these words if and when, as a species, we are living in a ruined environment rife with drought and flooding on an unprecendted scale. But then, none of us may be around to find out.

    good point...I'm sure the planet will still be here for a long time to come...

    however, humans may not be...I guess that's another story....

    I love pollution. I really do. I mean, all those dinosaurs that died when it went really cold? That was just nature saying "Stick it to the dino!". And they died, so they could turn into fossil fuels. Wicked stuff that. Imagine, all you need to do is dig it up and burn it and you get lots of energy from it! Excellent! Never mind that you get some fumes as well. After all, would we have arms and digging tools and an IQ that enables us to burn the fossil fuels if it wasn't good for our planet? Would you really want the dinosaurs and all the other plants and animals to stay down there and spend eternity as fossils? No! Of course not! And if it turns out that it does get a bit too hot eventually and there are lots of floods and stuff, well, then that's just nature saying "Stick it to the man!". Isn't it?

    ;)

    I'm discarding all thought
    I'll dry up, leaving puddles on the ground
    I'm like an opening band for the sun

    I hope that when the ants or bees take over dominance of this planet, that they choose not to burn the tar from our fossil remains for fuel... and that they don't claim that God is in their image. That should be the lesons we leave them.

    I'd be careful what you say around here. Dino will not be pleased!

    Not if we kill our environment first. And we're already doing that.
