Message 558066 - Posted: 2 May 2007, 15:51:27 UTC - in response to Message 558062.  

"Humanity is conducting an unintended, uncontrolled, globally pervasive experiment whose ultimate consequences could be second only to a global nuclear war. The Earth' s atmosphere is being changed at an unprecedented rate by pollutants resulting from human activities, inefficient and wasteful fossil fuel use, and the effects of rapid population growth in many regions. These changes represent a major threat to international security and are already having harmful consequences over many parts of the globe."

Which, of course, is nothing more than empty rhetoric. True or not, nothing there suggests any solution that could effectively ameliorate the effects of the "experiment."

Which continues to be the point of these threads. The global effort is to focus on the consequences to insure that people buy into the ideology. The global effort should be on effective solutions, not political Barbra Streisand like Kyoto or Son of Kyoto.
Cordially,

On radio right now.....reports from a rally with the title 'America works better when America works less'.

The point of this movement is to make the U.S. move from a 5 day work week to a 2 day work week..

Yes, That is right...2 days of 7. Miraculously we'll have the same amount of income.

Nope...they're going to use marxist materialistic mysticism. 8 hour days...same income though...

Remind me to tell you some stories of FORMER communists I've met. Yes, some of which are libertarian/objectivists now and heads of political parties overseas. Amazing to hear/see them on television broadcasts discussing the logic of these underlying principles in regard to capitalism. Some of the best people I've ever met.

And how are they relating this to Global Warming?

If I had to guess, they are claiming that 16 hours of work per week will not only be magically as productive, but will also cut down on emissions due to less utilization of everything! (except the TV).

Yes, Bill. That pretty much covers it. Shutting down human productivity is a common 'enviornmental goal'. I can get you links if you need 'em....and links to the 'pro suicide' sites too.

Yes, nature has a way of taking care of its own. The pro suicide crowd strangely only survives by those unwilling to take their own advice of the greater god for the enviornment.

Yep. Why not go full bore if you really believe? I forget the name of those envior whackos... The leader said he'll 'think about it' when asked on the radio if he'd take his own advice. They are around at May Day protests and other things.

The aim would be to cut down on football crowds then. And then to stop the teams running aimlessly up and down, cutting down on unnecessary CO2 being breathed out.

Funny you should say that. Recently the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ruled that CO2 is to be regulated as a pollutant. Soon we will be required to reduce our exhalation footprint.
