I've heard many a silly head bemoaning the terrible terrible fate awaiting us due to or lack of environmental controls. Oh, dash! Oh, damn! It's going to get too hot!!!
Shut up.
No it's not.
There is no such thing as too hot.
Let's be logical, not sentimental or stupid. Even if the 'ahhh! greenhouse gas ahhhh!' level gets to 4 times what it is today, it won't be nearly enough to kill life on this planet. The dinosaurs lived in just such a world and they were pea brained reptiles.
Let's go over this nice and slow.
The 'environmentalists' claim that we will hit this level within the next one hundred years. They also claim we will run out of fossil fuels in the next fifty. They also claim we've already passed the halfway point of oil consumption, meaning we've already used up half of the oil on the planet. They also claim that demand for oil is growing.
Okay... so, if all the fossil fuel runs out and we've already used half of it, and if we still need to add FOUR TIMES as much greenhouse gas to the atmosphere as we already have....
Gee, my math sucks, but it sure seems like we'll run out of fuel before we kill the planet.
That is, unless we switch to ethanol an biofuels, which are unlimited, in which case, yes we might make it to a greenhouse earth wich the dinosaurs easily survived until an asteroid hit them.
So, the only way we get to the nightmare scenario is by using these alt fuels that environmentalists have recommended. Talk about ensuring their own jobs!
Look, I don't even like the environment or people for that matter, and even I can see that we're clearly not trying hard enough to kill ourselves off unless we 'go green'. It's like a secret code. Go Greenhouse, Go!
Environmentalists... self serving, self deluded, self saving bastards. If they really wanted to save the environment they'd LET humans kill themselves so that the environment and all the special little animals could get back to doing absolutely nothing until the next sentient race comes along.
Oh, and by the way, dolphins practice rape, kidnap and murder. Look it up, you fucking rainbow idiots.

No wonder I like dolphins. I like raping too.
Don't hug a tree.
Hug a fetus.
Wow, you a super neo con. The problem with your theory? We would both be living underwater.
OK, you found me out, I'm the one behind all this environmental warming garbage. I just did it to try and make money and it isn't even working out that well. Too much overhead in hiring losers to protest the WTO.
Global warming = better weather earlier.
Better weather earlier means I can take my motorcycle out sooner.
Taking out my motorcycle sooner means I use 1/2 the gas to commute as I normally do.
As such, I think global warming is actually HELPING the environment, by getting me on my bike sooner.
Plus, chicks dig me.
Geez- sour milk in the Cheerios this morning?
It's certainly true that the dinos survived in a much warmer climate than we have today. The entire Midwest was also a lake at the time. I was against Global Warming until I realized that Texas is gonna be submerged.
Two things...
1. We don't have enough fuel to get to the point where Texas and Massachusetts get submerged.
2. And this is to Malach, NeoCons are moderates. I am not a moderate. Yes, you may have managed to insult me, but your insult was ill informed. No NeoCon would be caught dead holding my literature.
You're right on your fuels math. But the predicted levels are still possible. The Earth pumps out more CO2, SO2, etc. than we do. One good volcano is like having another China going at it. So on the one hand, you're right, we can't drive up levels that high. On the other, They may get that high with our help.
Human activity is only helping what Milankovich cycles do in the first place. The real bad news is that humanity is addicted to fossil fuel energy and isn't kicking the needle out their arm until it gets prohibitively expensive and we have no backup plan.
This was a long unfunny comment, I apologize.
Casey,
SO2 levels cause a mirror effect and global cooling.
Running out of oil should be our number one priority. Does one of our esteemed political candidates have a viable energy policy designed to get us off oil? Fuck no. Spoon feed us pablum and tell us life is grand. Fucking-eh, we'll buy it.
Global warming is part of my fear campaign. It distracts people from my revolution.
LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION!
Weell nevr run outta oil.
Weell jus go and invade some Ayrabb planet.
Exactly! Too a point, so does methane. Basically, no one has a goddamn clue what any of this shit does. It's like, not even science at this point. The models are fucking bullshit, at least in the scope of human events. Another funny thing: environmental regulations the world over have been cutting sulfur emissions like mad since the 80s which is causing global temps to rise.
And add all that to the fact that the biggest greenhouse gas is water vapor, and who knows what thef uck to do about that, and at some point you just want to stab a hippy. More than normal, I mean.
