ahem:

"But if that's so, they say, it's likely only because humans
are pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere."

woops

it's still our fault, and the difference with this knowledge
is that 'fixing' up isn't as simple as we thought. Duh,
ecosystems are turbo sensitive, evolving over billions of
years, and we're just shitting all over the planet.

the big problem is that one of our 'best hopes' for
controlling global warming may actually be completely
counterproductive..

its like putting a band-aid on an axe wound

our behavior as human beings is pathetic

i wrote a paper in college about how the human race is the
perfect disease (it kills without regard, destroys itself at
will, and cares very little as to its impending doom) - i
got an A+ and my teacher told me it was the most depressing
thing she'd ever read !!!

*shock* we might actually have to investigate energy
generation and product manufacturing techniques that don't
rape the planet! We don't have an easy way out! oh I want
to cry, let's just ignore it and let our grandchildren be
the ones to suffer.

here's a funny one: what are guns for? Think about all of
our effort on advanced weapons systems.. who are they
designed to kill? who are these great enemies of ours?
hahahahaha

We're destined to lose anyway, the plants have the right
idea. We're doing our best to accelerate the process. It's
been a hell of a ride.

this tree methane thing is pretty minimal and doesnt
outweigh the benefits of replanting forests. but weve fucked
everything up enough so it wont matter anyway.

actually, this global warming malake isnt that bad really.
climate change on this scale has happened millions of times
since complex life has been around to have to deal with it,
and yet people keep saying how global warming is going to
kill everything. true, it might finish off the polar bears,
but extinction occurs all the time naturally. global warming
is inconvenient for humanity (i.e. our towns will flood) but
for the earth itself, its not bad at all.

that's an interesting topic - when americans freak out about
"weapons of mass destruction (WMD's)" - ugh, im gonna puke
for actually using that...yuck - but they get all worked up
and concerned about other countries, what about the weapons
of mass destruction we have, make, sell, use, distribute,
etc?

seems they're not concerned cause itll save their ass...so
selfish and blind

this whole "save the planet" thing is bullshit too - like
george carlin says:

"the planet will be fine, the people, they're fucked"

table.

yeah, US keeps moaning about other countries making nukes,
but who has the largest stockpiles and who is the only
country to have actually used them against civilians!? Blair
is nearly as bad over here too, moaning about iran etc.
meh, hopefully we will wipe ourselves out sometime anyway.
eventually the world will be re-populated by
hyperintelligent mutated cockroaches. thay might even like
electronica.

It's a mess alright. A huge fucking mess. People just got to
realize that partying at the end of the universe is the only
way to go out with a bang!

On a more constructive note, there are incredible
technologies out there: Maybe our hope is in the zero-point
energies (=no more war) coalescing with psi-powers (=no more
prozac and mind control) and teleportation technologies (=no
more parochialism) to bring about a new world? I'd invest in
what is known to work, namely modelling psychological
realities through neurolinguistic metaprogramming. (Anybody
who doubts ESP is like someone who is afraid to look into
the mirror.)

That's the only way to kill the disease that is HISTORY (and
CULTURE), not humanity. That's where I differ from the great
G.Carlin. I still see some hope - it's just not obvious.

Revolution has already begun.
