World headed for irreversible climate change in five years, IEA warns

[KichigaiNeko]

And how are you going to dispose of the rotting flesh? The contaminated goods? The entire area?

And add more 'greenhouse' gases to the atmosphere?

"Hm. We have too many people. Oh, I've a bright idea! Let's wax the lot!"

I've always maintained that 99% of the total world population should be shot for sheer stupidity (starting with the lawyers and politicians)

Some of you have the subtlety of a garbage truck driving through a nitroglycerin plant.

Why thank you!

Both sides of this are pretty disingenuous. The Christians with their evident hatred for contraception as well as abortion, and their "quiverfull" movement, shows that they are right on board with overbreeding humankind, while insisting, as their Bible says, they are the stewards of the earth - of God's creation. The green movement, or the ecology movement continues to have children, and are still leaving a huge footprint as compared to our ancestors.

So if you have children, calling for limits on population growth is disingenuous? Preposterous. Scale - you've no sense of.

No Moros...I think BethK is just pointing out the hypocrisy of both sides. Which is basically my main point of angst.

All this crap by governments to "reduce green house gases" is just ...
1. Doing to little to late (as padraic has stated)
2. Doing diddly squat to ACTUALLY reducing CO2 via legislation as others
have queried
3. Ignores the pollution issue and goes no where to addressing that
4. Relies on 'revenge' factor towards Big Corporations to get the average
Joe Schmo on board
5. So that the average Joe Schmo can be taxed even more.

And agreed.... the planet SHOULD have done something about this Pollution issue long before this. There have been inroads into reducing emissions..right now (here) we are finding that the current Diesel motors have a much lower footprint and emissions than say the LNG powered heavy-vehicles.

Still can't understand why we (Australia) don't have a huge Solar Power plant in each state.... then again there would be all those involved in BAU electricity production out of work and begging off the government.

Yes Moros...the scale is HUGE
