Didn't we have a thread about cows causing the problem a little ways back?

And I too had trouble coming up with a word to describe the opposite of climate change deniers. "Well adjusted, intelligent, people who can read charts, listen to facts and figures, and can make up their own minds while not being led down the path of corporate greed" Just was too long to write out many times. |

As it stands, alternative fuel sources, aside from nuclear, are not developed enough to sustain the world as is. That's why as they become developed, we can start weening ourselves off the reliance of oil as a fuel source. Nuclear has it's own sorts of problems, practicality in small form, and political push back, but that's why research into sustainable fusion power is needed. There will probably always be a market for petroleum and gas. Hell, if I had a '57 chevy or other collector type, I'd sure as hell make sure it had the v8 super charger, but I'm not going to be driving that on the road every day. But if I buy a new car for everyday use, I'd sure like it to be as clean running as possible, and as cheaply as possible. Just like with any new technology, there will come a tipping point where the clean renewable energy sources will become more efficient and cheaper than the old. |

That's not a question that anybody could answer or do anything about. But, if everything that climate change proponents say is true (I'm not disputing them) then it is apparent that 'the ones' will be decided in a cruel and unavoidable way. There will be a reduction in the earths population, maybe a dramatic one. The simple fact is that the earths' population has grown faster than the technology to support it in a non environmentally damaging way has. One of the two variables will have to change, either by choice or by disaster. Don't like to be pessimistic but I think the latter will come first.

I'd recommend the kill two birds with one stone option, but then one thread would permanently close.

Interesting link you posted, i will check it out in more detail tonight. For now though show me a person living in a grass hut and i'll show you a would be consumer who would love to partake in the modern conveniences provided by fossil fuels. I'm sure you can find an exception or three to that but in general it's going to be difficult to convince developing nations that they can't have the quality of life that we have enjoyed in the industrialized west.
