Global dimming and warming.

[Cinjin]

The solution is so drastic that it will never happen. Well, at least not in our lifetimes. You can't just shut the entire world "off" and tell everyone to start farming their own crops, start foraging for food, and quit driving your vehicle back and forth to work because we shut your factory down. The human race has unlearned how to survive hand to mouth. People say things like, "nothing's been done for 20 years," but they don't offer up a solution. Until such time that a cheap abundant reusable energy source becomes available - what exactly do you* want people to do??? (*indiscriminate 'you')

I am all for putting an end to greenhouse gas emissions but without an energy to power our food combines, our slaughter houses, our semi-trucks and all the things that allow the world to eat - we can't just suddenly change our system. Imagine being told tomorrow that you are never again allowed to drive your car and that there will be no more food coming into the grocery store because fossil fuels are bad for the planet. It would be every man for himself and the world would become a blood bath overnight.

My whole point here is that getting rid of all man-made air pollutants would be awesome, but until we have a fuel source that doesn't corrupt our atmosphere there is very little we can do to stop the now inevitable. What we could be doing is at least stop researching weapons, smart phones and the plethora of other useless shit, and put every qualified scientist on the planet attempting to find that clean fuel we so desperately need. Lets face it, there's a slim to none chance that any of that will happen and all I can say to that is: I hope that the next batch of humans on this planet does a better job than we did.










Final thought: If you are so unfortunate to live in an area of the world where millions of people are starving to death and you yourself can barely survive - my heart truly goes out to you but I do have to say ... the least you could do is stop breeding!
