Nowdays, whenever someone, ESPECIALLY a kid, starts jabbering about global warming and needing to "cut back", I usually respond this way::
"OK-- so I guess you will give up your playstation, your Ipod, your computer, A/C,microwave, cellphone, dvd player, big screen, and no more running to the malls. After all-- you have to do your part, too!!
They usually respond with "no,. someone else can do that!!"
Then I say-- "the someone else's say that ,too!!. So, either do what I said, or just SHUT UP, and stop rambling about things you don't know anything about"!!
That usually takes care of things!!

He wasn't going that route, he was trying to be scientific. I love replying like that too, but libs never seem to grasp the concept of 'cognitive dissonance'! They're our superiors afterall.
I love when the 'world traveller' libs get on their rant about SUV's. I don't even get into it with them, if I can avoid it. I'm thinking about starting an RNC Jar to put donation $$ in, for everytime I am fed their whining.

My response is every time a plane takes off that does more damage to the environment than you can ever do - do you think they will be banned of course not big business has too much of an interest in this.
I do not advocate wasting the earth's resources and am one of those people who reluctantly throw anything out. If I had a bit more time I would also recycle more such as cans.
Also I have seen the destruction of small businesses through Kyoto regs, higher energy bills and more regulation either has put some out of business or reduced profit margins to where wage reviews etc are a thing of the past. Americans and Australians ought to be so grateful to their governments that they did not sign up to this.
IMHO science has never proved the hole in the ozone thing - how can we tell it has not always been there.
I think it was prudent to ban CFC gasses but to keep on and on about global warming is crazy. Yes we have had a very hot summer but in general talking to my dad and others of a similar age summers and spring were in general warmer when he was younger than now.
