Jerry J. Fortin Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Ask your children to review the form as well as the content of your posts here! Some do, to see what I am doing, and some don't. I must ask what business it is of yours what my children do or say or read Benny? But lets get back to the point shall we..... what are you so frightened about with respect to Alberta? Quote

But lets get back to the point shall we..... what are you so frightened about with respect to Alberta? With or without bombardments, Alberta will soon be a place that Albertans want to quit. The heritage you leave to your children is a nomadic life and anywhere they will try to hide, they will be chased to pay for your immorality. Edited July 8, 2009 by benny Quote

The heritage you leave to your children is a nomadic life and anywhere they will try to hide, they will be chased to pay for your immorality. Say what? What immorality do you speak of? You realize that Alberta is the bible belt of Canada right? Alberta will not soon see its citizens quit this great land. The Heritage we leave to our children amounts to about 14 billion now, but likely a few trillion inside of less than 50 years. As the world demand for oil continues to grow, we are assured a market for our production. Alberta has huge potential, far and away greater than most of this nation, and we are populated with a very independent minded group of citizens that take great pride in their province. WE don't try to hide, and we don't run away. Quote
Sir Bandelot Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 I actually look forward to global warming, I call it summer usually. Haven't seen any around here yet. Its frikkin 10 Deg. C. outside at night. About 18 here, inside the house. If my furnace were switched on, it would be running right now. But the thought of running my furnace in July, does not site well with me. Global warming? Bring it on... There should be a basic personal exemption for the carbon tax. That way people would have an incentive to use less, and would get a tax break for doing so. I almost never need to drive my car, as I am lucky enough to walk to work from my house. Figure I have saved a lot of carbon on that alone. Quote
ToadBrother Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 Yes, until it's proven by observable fact. There is no "proof" in science. You really don't understand this most basic concept of methodological naturalism. Quote

Jerry J. Fortin Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 CO2 is not a math concept. What it is is a naturally occurring substance that rises and falls in cycles. There have been several cycles of warming and cooling on this planet and it appears we are now entering another one. So what? We need to adapt and change with our environment or be dominated by it. Its just that simple. There are numerous finger pointers and those that want to assign blame. The reality is that our existence has had impact on the environment, nothing new there. The other side of the coin is that the effects of human development come at the cost of excessive environmental degradation. Until recently this was not acknowledged, but it now is. Within the last few decades we have accumulated sufficient scientific knowledge to understand our biosphere to a much greater extent than ever before. We can now see the changes and with some degree of certainty predict the impact of trends from acquired data. With all due respect Benny, math is a concept that you need to consider when discussing anything to do with science. Quote

ToadBrother Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 Wars come at the cost of excessive environmental degradation. Actually, from what I can tell, agriculture has probably lead to the severest degradation; loss of major parts of arboreal zones in Eurasia and the Americas, salinification of soils in southern Iraq and in other areas where inadequate or antiquated farming methods were used, loss of many species due to destruction of habitat and often dangerous genetic homogeneity in agricultural species due to overspecialized breeding and inbreeding.

Agriculture much like any job can be considered as a war effort. Quote

Food production is a necessary function if we are to survive. The hunter gatherer concept doesn't work well in the urban environment. Benny look up the Venus Project. There are ways to enhance our society. Quote

Jerry J. Fortin Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 Armies have to be fed. People have to be fed. You cannot stop farming and food production on large scale because the people of the world will starve. Quote
noahbody Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 Wars come at the cost of excessive environmental degradation. Wars can help fight overpopulation. George Bush was a great environmentalist. Quote
