Are you trying to look for a fight or something? Why are you twisting my words around? I did not say that I don't care but I think you'd like to believe I don't. Show me one post I made that says I don't care and then I'll apologize.

Global Warming's Terrifying New Meth!!

But it is my choice... as a man of great power. I could stop global warming and save countless lives -- but I chose to warm the world so that I can grow a mangosteen tree!

I guess so.

It's not within one individual's power to change. But if people collectively cared more then it could be changed. It may be too late to change. A lot of really powerful corporations have a lot of money in the current system and they have a lot of power. But just doing nothing isn't going to help.

Don't want to vote democrat? That's fine. I really don't give a [i][color=#ff0000]floop[/color][/i]. I would happily vote for a republican who was serious about this issue. Start pressuring your republican leaders to get serious about climate change. This isn't a partisan thing. I would be happy to see the democrats lose their monopoly on the environmental vote if it meant that we could lessen the pain that is coming.

Nope, that is not equal to saying I don't care. Next.

I know where I stand on issues such as these. No amount of name-calling or arguing is going to change that. And I really don't appreciate someone twisting words around to fit their agenda. Just because someone didn't respond the way you wanted to is not cause for saying they don't care and that they are flippant or irresponsible. Ask anyone I know and they'll tell you that I DO care.

I guess it's worse then not caring since you are promoting the idea that other people also shouldn't take global warming seriously.

I'm not twisting your words. You said that you aren't concerned about global warming and that it's all a bunch of 'hooey.'

It is in this case. You gave a flippant response to an issue that is going to impact huge numbers of people. Those who will suffer the worse in the displacement and droughts will be the very poor.

I don't know your friends. I just know what you write. If you do care then that's great. Pressure the candidates your support to also care.

I took a course on environmental science last year . . . so I'm basically an expert.

All I have to say is that this phenomenon is now referred to as "climate change." Global warming is a misnomer. Semantix.


Hasan, you've made a few threads concerning this topic and they mostly follow this outline: global warming is scientifically undeniable, it will cause many people to suffer and die, and anyone who denies this is irresponsible. To which I ask: what the hell is your point? What do you wish to accomplish?

It would be dandy methinks if we could talk about ways to reduce consumption or any specific pieces of legislation that pops up that involve the stemming of this epidemic. I just don't get your current m.o. unless you simply enjoy yelling at people on the internet about how dumb/irresponsible they are.

I'm not asking how you know this...

I honestly don't know, I just wanted to do a play-on-play of words. Warmed meth sounds like an interesting science experiment, though...

Yep. And all of those things are true

I want people to take climate change seriously.

That's hard to do when most of the people who respond to my posts on the topic were interested in looking for solutions rather than convincing other people not to take the issue seriously. There are plenty of resources out there if you are interested in looking into this and I would be happy to link you to some. The best thing you all could do is, since you all refuse to vote for democrats, is to pressure the republicans that you support to take this seriously.

I'm hoping for the republican base to take the issue seriously so we can actually enact some legislation that will help lessen the impact of climate change.

What does that have to do with....hey!...wait a minute!


So on the one hand I have common sense and the overwhelming scientific consensus and on the other I have a guy who is morally opposed to capitalization and Rush Limbaugh. Hm.

37% of Americans believe in man-made climate change.
23.9% of Americans are Catholic.

Apparently the Catholic Church is 12.9% [i]more[/i] ridiculous than man made climate change. QED

You've always struck me as a lover of fruits.




Not that there's anything wrong with that.
