The Future In Our Hands?

[greenfuture101]

The Future is most definitely in our hands, the weather, ocean and forecasts of the futre are steadily changing. We know that global warming is a problem. The fact we (USA) spend 1/10,000,000 of our national buget on creating new forms of fuel and research towards our future while we are spending 10 billion the "War On Iraq" is sad. Can anyone explain why the entire government is ignoring our dire situation? Of course the entire planet revolves around fossil fuels, and the money that the poor old CEO of oil companies depends on would stop flowing. If I were an oil CEO I would be looking into the future with heavy thought and research.This is a major problem we have here and it won't fix itself.:mad:

It all boils down to dollars, you can't make as much money off of renewable resources like solar and wind power. And the hydrogen fuel cells , though they seem promising are really energy guzzlers.

I think that's a load of bollocks. And I think this whole "LOL THE PLANET IS DYING" is hyped way up.

Hey PS, check your private messages, I sent you one concerning that jerk that told you "rot in hell."

Does anyone have the brains to give me an educated answer regarding the subject or not? Has anyone been reading the reaccuring articles in the papers about this subject? Has anyone gone and seen Al Gore's film "An Inconvenient Truth?" The top scientists warn us of our future and the way things will be, why won't anyone listen up?:eek:

Because too many people worry about how horrible things will be and they never happen. Even if something is going to happen, I can't do anything to change it, so it would be a waste of my time and effort to even consider trying. The future will either work itself out or not, if it doesn't I die a few years earlier. We all have to die some time, who's to say when my time is? Might as well stop worrying about every tiny little thing and have fun in life instead.

All I have to say is that the world won't fucking end if we run out of oil. The only thing that will happen is that city boys who don't know how to live off the land will die, and those that have grown up in the countryside like myself DO know how to live off the land. With 80 acres of land I can support a family of 4 indefinitely.

There are alternatives to modern diesel. It is an oil that burns up clean. From a seed. Not much more expensive to use. Go for it. 100% recycling of CO2.

The first people are now starting to invest in water. That is a way.

San Francisco has green dead lines in 20 years.

Oil keeps certain families extremely rich. They pay off the industry to work against change of the system today.

I manufacture and sell green building products. Sustainable and low energy manufacturing. I try to do something about it.

Dek.

Yes, but how will you defend your 80 acres and the food you grow on it? That is the real question, Quentin_11C. Your survival would depend on it.

I have guns :D But you do raise a good point there...the only ones stealing are the ones that can't grow their own. Eventually they would either be killed or would die from starvation...or, in my way of doing things, from the rabid bunnies from Saturn who are here to eat the juicy goodness from people's brains so they can't invent the theory of mechanical deviousness, which was first created in the failed hope of turning air into vanilla wafers muhahhahahaha...even if I die b/c people steal my food, the world won't end.

Sounds like a workable plan to me. :D
