Zot! Protecting the Earth

Posted on 12/19/2004 7:21:58 PM PST by LoveTheWorld

Treat the Earth well. It was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children.

OK.
1) I do not believe the earth is in danger from humans.

2) Capitolist America is the ONLY country to seriously combat polution. Technolgies that polute less come from western nations, America primarily.

3) The earth is filled with resources. Resources can be harvested. It is not a crime to harvest resources. America plants trees when she cuts them down. Protecting the earth does not mean Zero harvesting, but rather wisdom in resource management.

4) Computers we have are not smart enough. Our computers cannot be relied upon to predict Global Warming, and they cannot replace animal testing.
--Global warming is a theory, not a fact. Precious little exists to support it outside of emotional fears and baseless accusations.
----If you want to cure diseases like AIDS and Cancer you need animal testing. There is simply no replacement. Remember, serious medical study is only 100 years old. Maybe in another 100 years we won't need it, But now we do.

5) Whining and sit ins never stopped deforestation. Ever.
Take the Amazon. The poorest people cut down the jungle to plant farms. Brazil doesn't stop them. Thats because these people grow their own food, make their own clothes. No money is spent by Brazil.
If you want to stop this, invest in capitol ventures, that instead EMPLOY these poor, so they won't need to grow their own food. One years donations to the Siera Club could create factories that will employ thousands of Brazil's poorest. I've never seen any environmentalist ever lift a finger to help the poor in this manner.

6) if you want to help the earth, help its people. The worst environmental tragedies happen in poor, third world countries run by despots. Freedom and capitolism will do more to help the environment than a dozen earth days.

One more question...How exactly can the earth be given to you by your children? wouldn't it simply and non-complexedly make more sense for it to jus say "passed on by those who dwelt and mingled freely before you"? Or I did obviously misread something...

I don't want to strain you, but, do you know who the Amish are?

Or what their lifestyle is?

I will be serious. Would you describe yourself as nature worshiper,wiccan, or gaia worshiper. If you are simply worried that the environment is being spoiled, I might agree that populations have local impact. But go into an aircraft a fly over New Mexico,Colorado,Wyoming,Utah,Idaho,South and North Dakota,most of Washington and Oregon Arizona. Most are pristine natural settings. However, if your only view is downtown metropolitan areas, get out of town a little. Don't listen so closely to tenured college professors who do have socialist agendas. Don't take what they say as the truth just because they say it. Population centers are logistical nighjmares on eany continent.

Still heading the proper direction in the traditional orbital path, roughly in the plane of the ecliptic, all OK.

Surface temperature within survivable parameters, atmosphere breathable with the minor exception of small localities, mostly volcanic in nature.

Warming? Not a problem, unless temperatures exceed human operating parameters, in which case, I will no longer complain.

No major destructive impacts from extraplanetary objects in the past 65,000,000 orbital cycles.

All in all, I'd say the earth is a happy little dirtball in about the right place.

Not so sure about some of the egomaniacal critters flitting about the surface, though, wasting time and energy wondering if they can 'save' a planet which has done fine without them in the past, and will likely continue long after they have fretted themselves to death.

Since I have an interest in the environment I must not be thinking for myself??? I'm not the topic here guys, you know?

You forwarded a postion. People responded to it. Don't make yourself out of be a victim. Support your position or modify it. No one is attacking you. They are - rightly - attacking what they perceive as erroneous thinking and concluding from your statements that you are not real bright on the issue of the environment. That conclusion is not a personal attack.

First you have to get rid of the NIMBYs and the BANANAs. When Sierra Club worked to kill a wind farm because of noise and eye pollution, and bird kills it because obvious those alternative energies were talking points only.

Be a conservationist for yourself and don't ask others to do it for you. Walk the talk. I'm looking for a smart person to perfect fuel cells that are personalized to provide my home with electricity and water.

Okay Grace here we go there is no proof that there is any global warming other than what is provided by the environmentalist payed scientist. around my area of the country the enviros are always trying to get the farmers for destroying the earth, now anyone in their right mind would know that farmers are the best protectors of the earth. No farmer around here is going to do anything that is going to hurt his livelihood.

If you kill a pregnant whale, does it count as killing 2?

Can't argue with that. There are lots of planets and only one of me.

How can we as a world community come together to protect the Earth better and to leave as much of its natural beauty for our future generations to also enjoy and protect?

We aren't a "world community". Hopefully we never will be but the Bible says differently. If you're hinting at the Kyoto Treaty, that treaty isn't about saving the earth, it's about money.

My fear is that the more we treat the Earth as a place for the current generation, the worse off the Earth will become for our grandchildren and their grandchildren

Fear is the key word here. People know how to create fear in order to control reactionaries. Cook up some junk science and voila! you have a money producing game going because there are always dimwits that will buy into it.

If you aren't a conservative when you're older, you have no brain. Winston Churchill

How the heck it is possible going to harm the wild life. Dang, the pipeline has helped the caribu by providing them with grazable grass during the winter.

And I'm sorry but your statement that as long as it does not get in the way of alternative fuels and that it be temporary is makes your prejudices so transparant. On just what basis should drilling in Alaska be only temporary?

"as long as it doesn't harm the wildlife and as long as it isn't an excuse to not try alternative fuels then feel free to drill (as long as it's temporary and not just a quick fix)"

I'm all for alternative fuels, as long as they can replace the fuels we are using. I don't know about you, but I hate pumping that much money into my gas tank when I wanna take a trip somewhere. This is more urgent now more than ever, not due to the environment, but because most of our fuel dependency is from a very unstable part of the world.

I fixed the typo's in your original quote, by the way. We are big on grammar around here hehe.
