true.. But should we risk it? Do we really have anything to lose with playing it safe and taking care of our planet? Do we really need all these fucking gadgets and plastic furniture?
Does anyone really need to earn MILLIONS every year, killing people in the process and fucking it up for everyone else?
who the hell cares if the sea will never rise 20ft but "only" 2ft.. Do we need it to rise at all? Do we want it to? Are we entitled to everything we "own", everything we produce? What if india and china start producing and consuming just as we are currently? It is certainly fair for them to do so if we can't be arsed to control ourselves.. Where will we buy our offsets then?
Bill - it is obviously not a political vacuum, but what good does it do? I've been trying to change the world for a bit of time myself, and I've kinda reached the conclusion that noone changes opinions unless they actively research the topic themselves or someone hits them hard with enough evidence.. Something that I don't think will happen here, but it doesn't really bother me, as long as everyone keeps a friendly tone and all that.. bla bla bla :)
