Children 'bad for planet'

Some one should tell the muslims.

Why don’t these wackos do the planet a favor and commit suicide?

ROFL You're right, either that, or they should not procreate. No procreated liberal/enviro/whackies would be a good thing.

[TheDon]

Save the environment,
kill an environmentalist.

"The greatest thing anyone in Britain could do to help the future of the planet would be to have one less child."

The better alternative is for the hypocrites such as this moron to eliminate their carbon footprint (extinguish himself), thereby saving the rest of us, and stop telling us to sacrifice our children to the Global Warmist religion god: Algore.

This is practically the same stuff that I learned in my NJ public school social-science classes in the late 60’s and early 70’s. It was a taught as a scientific certainty that having a child was morally indistinguishable from dumping nuclear waste in the local reservoir.

Some things just defy all logic.

Any person who does not know that the climates of all the planets in our solar system are controlled by the sun is an idiot. Why is this supid man-made-climate-warming-crap still being discussed? Anybody know why?

[freekitty]

It makes you wonder how these guys got to be professors teaching children.

[generalhammond]

This global warming bandwagon seems to allow really stupid people get their 15 minutes of phony intelligence. Logically it’s BS: cut a tree down, use the timber for a house and let another tree grow sounds like I’m reducing CO2 from the atmosphere. Am I wrong? And how much CO2 is spewed daily from constantly active volcanos like in NZ, Iceland, Hawaii and under the oceans. This is totalitarian clap-trap and will hopefully die a death like the Y2K nonsense.

That's not quite accurate: According to NASA, Jupiter emits approximately twice as much heat from its core as it receives from the sun.

[abclily]

So, from this you are concluding that Jupiter controls its own climate with no influence from the sun?

[derlauerer]

Mainly. Clearly, whatever climate Jupiter may have will be affected to a larger extent by its internal heat than by the heat from the sun, simply because one is greater than the other.

Equally clearly, this does not alter the fact that the climates of the other planets are driven by the sun.
