Hassan Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 [quote name='kamiller42' post='1699371' date='Nov 11 2008, 03:41 AM']Do you really believe there was no starvation prior to the industrial revolution? It seems someone has been drinking too much Al Gore Kool-Aid.[/quote] And someone's been ripping of O'Reilly lines I've never watched Al Gore's movie, nor have I ever watched him speak, nor have I read any book about him. I was in 6th grade when Bush got elected, I don't remember Gore as vice president, nor do I really care about Al Gore.

If it were seriously contributing to pollution and we were aked to cut back to cause less pollution as part of some overarching effort to reduce such gasses I'd be happy to. [quote]How much CO2 is spewed by your electric company to power your computer and access to the internet? How much to store your messages?[/quote] no idea. [quote]How about real solutions to starvation? Ever hear of Catholic Relief Services? It's an organization of 5,000 people helping 80 million people in 100 countries. It's one of many numerous assistance organizations solving the problem you identify right now. No need to wait for global warming policies. You can do something right now.[/quote] I know about them, and I never claimed nothing was being done at the moment. And that has very little to do with the substance of my point. [quote]What are you doing?[/quote] I'm being charming on the internet when I should be getting ready for class
