hehe another classy global warming cartoon. No one really wants to discuss overpopulation problems, it’s one of the biggest climate change taboos.

Lets juat say, for arguments sake that “man made global warming is a scam” (Now, I dont believe that, but, lets just say)

What I always want to know from people like Cecil, is , so what? Should we just let the globe heat up, indeed contribute to it, just because we’re “not causing it? You say it has to do with the way people live, rather than population…how can one be true and not the other?—how can that be if its a “scam”? Either people effect the climate or they do not. If they do, too many people is a problem.

Too bad evolution took a poor direction with humans, but that’ll correct itself fairly soon.  We’ll sleep with the dodos.

Humans are breeding themselves into oblivion, encouraged and urged to do so by religion.

cecil,
dude do you think people just stand around and utilize only the space their body inhibits? one person generate thousands of TONS of garbage in their lifetime and utilize so much energy. educate yourself to whats really going on and Co2 just isn’t human, it’s the earth as well. the earth can regulate itself, WE ARE adding to this exponentially which what’s throwing the balance off. please step away from your addiction to dated absolutes and see all the information that is being presented and discovered today. Grow be bigger, open you mind and heart

This cartoon made me think of a book I just read. I highly recommend End Of Food, Paul Roberts.

Like I said, man-made global warming is a scam. The earth goes through warming periods. It goes through cooling periods. It goes through periods of high CO2, and periods of low CO2—we’re in a low CO2 period right now, BTW.

Overpopulation—not a problem. Flown over the U.S. lately? It’s mostly vacant. You could fit the entire world population inside of Texas, and each individual would have living space.

The problems regarding humans and their impact on their environment has MUCH less to do with the amount of people and more to do with the ways in which they live.

Evidence of global warming is abundant, but overpopulation is a HUGE problem that no one seems to be talking about, thanks for keeping it real on Earth day!

Cecil, You must be one of those people that thinks global warming is something that will destroy the whole planet. Global warming is something that will change the planet to make it impossible for humans, and other species, to live on the planet. The Earth will always be there, people may not. THAT’s what we are trying to protect.

Also, go read the article about rivers around the world losing water.

Great visual depiction of the biggest problem this world faces, ‘unfettered’ human population growth. Nature will get us for this pretty soon.

The good news: Man-made global warming is a scam.
The bad news: There’s a sucker born every minute.
