A lady friend said something similar to me some years ago: that humanity is like a disease on the surface of the Earth, destroying everything it touches, and it should be eradicated and just like in one's own body, Mother Earth will do so herself, in time.

F**king lentil eaters! Can't they see that they're part of the problem.

Anyway, f**k it, in the grand scheme of things we're only visitors.

For a long time now I've been of the opinion that, if intelligent life from another world was to visit ours, they would back off rapidly on the basis that the planet was infested with some species of louse that was sucking it dry without any apparent understanding that, once the host dies, all the lice die. No intelligent species would want to risk being infested by us

If this ultimately results in the death of the lot of us, maybe it's just as well: it's what we deserve.

I've lost the plot with this global warming / climate change stuff.

I used to care passionately about environmental damage and knew a fair deal about the subject at one time. I could - and still can - talk about soil erosion, the impact of Roman land laws on the formation of the desert in North Africa during Roman times, the impact of monocultures and all sorts.

But I just don't care any more.

This whole politicisation of the 'debate' about whether we've screwed the atmosphere has completely drained me of any faith in either side or any remnant of giving a toss any more.

I had little faith in politicians; now I have none. They really will lie and sell the planet just to line their own pockets. And the pig-tulip ignorant media lap up their soundbites and belittle the scientists regardless of their output.

If this ultimately results in the death of the lot of us, maybe it's just as well: it's what we deserve.

Global warming is a scam to make money for the global government. Nothing more.

Truly HTH BIDI

I can't even make an informed opinion... any discussion on the topic quickly deteriorates into a slanging match, regardless which side is most prevalent on that particular forum. I give up... I'm suspicious the moment it gets politically motivated but that doesn't mean it's not correct.

Yes, sod AGW, world over-population is the real problem, without which we wouldn't have energy issues.

Nice AndyW option by the way.

[DimPrawn]

yes but

Imagine there's no heaven

Imagine there's no Carbon footprint, it's easy if you try.

[shaunbhoy]

Perhaps that'll be capitalist America's great gift to humanity: solving the overpopulation problem.

Nail. Head. Hit.

Why do you think so many of them are fattening themselves up? It is called "Famine-Packing, and it is a process I have been perfecting for a number of years now. Some might call it "Lardy", but what do they know?

[DimPrawn]

Maybe even with leftovers there would be enough to make Swindon a habitable place.

.

Now you are just being ******* ridiculous.

[EternalOptimist]

Imagine what we could do if the money and effort wasted on "Carbon counting" was spent on the real needs of humanity, namely healthcare, clean water, education, birth control and protecting natural habitat.

Indeed.

One can only hope.

Think of the children

Good point! There's too damn many of us already. What we need is a cull of the kids.

Bring on the multi-resistant bacteria! They'll see us off eventually. Seeing as how The Bomb didn't get dropped and the global viral pandemics are all rubbish these days and the Martians aren't coming and George Bush's Religious Crusade is fizzling out, we need to do something to sort out this mess we call 'humanity'.

And if we don't do it soon, the entire planet will be growing monoculture, genetically-engineered crops for bio-fuel while 95% of the world starves, until some critter develops a taste for Monsanto products and wipes the global production out in weeks. Then every fecker starves as there'll be bugger all else left to grow.

Maybe a bit of global warming to bugger up the geography & economy might be a well-deserved good kick up the arse.

Perhaps that'll be capitalist America's great gift to humanity: solving the overpopulation problem.
