Default Buying time for a dying planet

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8231387.stm

How Western of us to try and solve the symptoms, without solving the underlying problem. We (they) are willing to kill us all off, in the short or the long run, including inducing an artificial ice age (which will come, with or without human intervention as a result of global warming or a part of the natural cycle) by blocking out the sun with different methods.

Instead of trying to limit our CO2 output, we will continued on the same path, increasing our emissions, waiting for governments to do something (geo-engineering will be used as an excuse to do nothing), scientists crying that something needs to be done and engineers working on new solutions how to kill us all of, as it is apparently better to do it ourselves than let nature do it for us.

So, who wants to join the "Let's kill mankind" wagon?

Just because you can do a thing means you should do a thing.

Meh... more Social Engineering in the guise of global warming scare tactics.

The planet is not going anywhere, WE are. The planet sees us as a "surface nuisance".

Carlin sums it up best. The planet part starts at 1:30

Yep, the planet will be here long after we are gone.
