Some skeptics remain unconvinced.

I try to recycle and I don’t want to buy the crap they ship from China. Unfortunately the local recycling depot shut its doors due to a lack of interest and my Co-op insists on selling crap. The closest competition is Costco and it’s a 100 kms away so…
Count me in with Earl I guess.

Concur with Mr. Earl
It is logical considering all the burning we do that it is likely to have an effect. We can only guess at the effect and there is little we can do about it.
Nevertheless: RAISE HELL
And drive out the Bush Regime OCT 5th

“Of course, some skeptics remain unconvinced that America ever landed on the moon… “. To say nothing about those who, to this day, insist that the world is FLAT.
Clearly our earth’s environment goes through cyclical changes, sometimes with dramatic consequences for the status quo. If there’s another episode of tropical weather in the Arctic or another ice age just around the “corner” there’s nothing we can do about it.
So those making a bundle today from the burning of fossil fuels, who coincidentally happen to be those with MEGA BUCKS, don’t really give a damn about the influence their activities have on the inevitable. So what if it speeds up the process by a few thousand years?
So all you folks who are expending valuable energy complaining about the polluters spewing greenhouse gases into our atmosphere might just as well forget it and get a life.
By this I don’t imply I agree with the polluters’ lack of compassion for fellow man and beast. I only mean that all the complaining in the world isn’t going to change their attitude and since they’ve got a death grip on the “controls” we’re all going down with them.
So put me down in the column marked “I care, but I’m not wasting my only lifetime worrying about things I can’t do anything about.”
