    I have two words for anyone interested in such things...

    Yellowstone Supervolcano

    Here's the blast radius when it finally goes poof.

    http://www.cuttingedge.org/yellowstone-volcano.gif

    By many accounts...10,000 times more powerful than Mt. St. Helens. That's a rough equivalent of about 1000 nukes...sitting under a big ole chunk of North America.

    thats nowhere near Scotland and thusly i couldnt give a fuck ;)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    no it's not impossible to manage. we're just not trying. life in the first world is okay by global standards, so everyone else can basically whistle dixie apparently.

    "We" just choose not to.

    In other words I agree ^^

    until we stop living for ourselves and start thinking of the bigger picture - we will unlikely make any inroads ... it'll be one day - person by person, we will wonder how we ended up like this? ... and everyone will know the answer ...

    i do!! ... at least in the states, there are regional areas determined to reduce carbon emissions (not relative to economic output) but an actual reduction ... we have no leadership in any level of gov't ...

    This is such a weird topic. 100 years ago, in America, someone would see this kind of data and say "Then we'll build something better". Now we see it and say "we're doomed". Sad.

    good point, but i wouldnt say just America, there are plenty of progressive minds outside of the US
