US is the no. 1 polluter in the world

I stopped caring about pollution years ago because of 2 reasons:
1. It's too late anyway, we're along for the ride.
2. All the green stuff on TV, green this, eco that. It's worse than Christmas commercials. And we're in for many years of this.
They've all started using using pollution as a marketing tool, after yeaaaars of denying the problem and making pressure on GreenPeace. Now all major oil companies show is how they use renewable resources. Yeah right. And the pollution quota for countries, traded between states. This is sick.
The european car developers have jumped the wagon and are desperate to b e the first to mass produce Fuel Cells and Electric cars. What's the bloody point? Most of that energy comes from coal and oil power plants. And it will not be free anyway. Expect to see another huge oil price rise just before they start launching them.

I remember someone saying during the 90's that if we stopped polluting THEN, and turned off all sources instantly, we might have a chance to avoid major changes. As I said, we're in for a very long ride. However I'm not about to hang myself in desperation or refuse to have children. But in the long term it might be a very wise choice to:
1. Move to Tasmania.
2. Cover my house with photovoltaic paint.
3. By an electric car and recharge only at home.
4. Insulate my home well and use a sonic thermal changer.
5. Make an underground shelter and fill it with 100 year warranty cans of food and water.
6. Start learning how to grow plants.... Might need some Marijuana too since Alcohol might get too expensive

Because you never know when the aliens will invade us AGAIN!
