Some eco-weanies put up a tasteless video to promote their latest campaign and immediately caught a boat load of flak which caused them to take it back down. Too late, it's gone viral and everyone has a copy.
I got to wondering about their campaign (no wondering about the video, everyone and their mother has an opinion about that). What do they hope to accomplish, other than maybe making a couple more people aware of their cause? I'm not sure anyone can do anything about the amount of greenhouse gases being produced. If all the people who are driving little economy cars started driving hybrids, or even riding bicycles, any reduction in their production of greenhouse gases would be dwarfed by all the big engines running around: trucks, trains, generators, airplanes, bulldozers. One person could stop driving entirely for a year and the amount of fuel they save could be consumed by one blip of the throttle on a bulldozer. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
If the eco-weanies are serious about this global warming business, they really need to come up with some kind of plan on how we could reduce the production of greenhouse gases. I have not heard of any kind of realistic plan. All I have heard is that we should have some meetings, a protest, a conference, and nonsense like we should all start using hydrogen fuel cells.
Even if all of Western civilization stopped burning fossil fuel in their cars, I don't think it would make a significant difference.
The ting that causes ALL the pollution is people! By 2030 we would need a second planet to stay at a sustainable level.
ReplyDeleteThe only answer is birth control; so start by banning the Catholic church ;-)

Ban the Catholic Church? Why, that would be discriminatory, and we can't have that. Anyway, I don't think they are the biggest offenders. Also, if you did away with the Catholic church, you would have a power vacuum and something else would step in to the fill the place, and who's to say it wouldn't be even worse? Being an engineering type guy, I am in favor of an engineering type solution, but I don't think that's going to happen either. No one is interested.
