Pollution and toxins - Greenhouse gases: The End of the World as We Know It (and there is nothing you can do)

I do not have the time nor desire to explicate this fully, creating a 'trap' that leads you to one inexplicable conclusion.  I will make a few statements and if need be, the support can be found on the internet -

- the far left would like to see man eliminated or at the very least, our population reduced.  They see humans as the threat.

This far left mentality slowly morphs as it heads toward the center, but is still believed in part by the left - man is the problem.  If man were to disappear the world and all within (animals) would be happy and safer.

That if we would but end driving and end industry and end the use of petroleum and end ... the gases would be reduced and we would save the world.

That is a pretty common view held by the left.


Sad though - to be so idealistic and moronic at the same time.

If every human being, every car, every truck, every factory, every product man has produced - if everything were to get sucked up off planet earth tonight, global warming would be well on the way to climate change in a year or ten or twenty or fifty or ... well, we make no impact actually in whatever change is occurring.  We are insignificant - to the universe and our earth.  We are specks of dust, meaningless, and pretty darn useless.  Not at all a serious threat to anything.

A total of 580 gigatonnes of carbon is emitted into the atmosphere each year.  A lot by any measure.  Humanity, and everything man has created - pumps in 30.  The other 550 gigatonnes are pumped out by the earth.

Climate change will occur whether or not we do anything, and if we do ... it won't matter.

Feel real important now, really special.





All that pollution and greenhouse gas, emissions, toxins ...

The biosphere pumps out 550 gigatonnes of carbon yearly; we put in only 30 gigatonnes. Ninety-nine per cent of the carbon that is fixed by plants is released back into the atmosphere within a year or so by consumers like bacteria, nematodes and worms.
