Global warming

Thats a good way to look at it, ahh lets not worry about it, lets leave it to our kids to try and fix. Great thinking there
 
maybe the new generation will have a better chance in fixing it than we do atm we can't even fix our politics or economy
 
Screw global warming, the planet has been through worse, so it get's warm on one side and cold the other, who cares?
 
Unfortunately I dont think much is going to happen until we run out of oil.
 
well this yr our weather patterns are just messed up.
 
Strangely enough krycor here in the cape peninsula its finaly back to the way it was 5-7 years ago.

Basicaly the rainfall here had been getting less and less and less and now we getting some good rains again.
 
yup, still we our winters are not the same old weeks of rain cause we have summer days im between and then a few harsh winter days. But yah, is it normal tho for snow inland? Northern winters come, i wonder which way it will swing, worst or best this year.
 
I'm not saying our weather pattern as a whole is not changing. I'm saying its refreshing to have rain in the cape peninsula again.

And yes the floods are bad.
 
i watched a docy that some scientists say that if we don't do something about gas changes in the near future we could end up in a nother ice age at arround year 2100

scary...
 
Yeah same scientists said when I was a kid (in the 70's) there would be moon bases and we would fly around with jetpacks strapped to our backs....yes wait for it....in the year 2000. Also prolly same scientist who also said that africa would be desolate from aids by 2006.

The fact is, without modern technology, oil, chemical plants, engineering etc we can't make the breakthroughs to the next platform of technology or scientific improvement. Without current science we can research future science. It looks like we may just have to leave a dump for our kids to fix. No-one will give up technology at this point, not even the greens can.

Though people can drive smaller cars / not leave them idling in the morning for 30 minutes when I'm trying to sleep!! / (to warm it up - duh!) ... a cleaner world starts with NO LITTERING! :D And not leaving lights burning! And - not printing the electronic version (so I can read it better - duh!)... what ever happened to the paperless office? Well people are too dumb not to suck on the printer!!

etc. :p
 
kilo39. I agree, That's basics and a given. What I'm saying is that although mankind has mucked up the world we wouldn't be here (technologically speaking) if we hadn't gone the fossil fuel route. Can we live cleaner? No doubt. Will we? Probably not. Until our culture catches up with technology and until technology takes the next step (which may only be in a hundred or so years) were trapped in the garbage pit. It will, no doubt take massive innovative steps in the future to fix the world we have made now, but the future generations won't be able to do it unless we exploit current technology now to the limit to find the futures alternatives. Its a coin toss both ways, anyway.
