[pp.int.general] Don't roast our planet

Fri May 18 11:20:58 CEST 2012

I do not need to do anything, I just do not see you engaging in this
conversation with anything but hypthetical talking points.

Yes, IF we find out that CO2 has nothing to do with global warming (or we
cannot stop it anyways), IF global warming is more of a concern than
running out of fossil fuels and the growing ozone layer and IF our
resources regarding those issues are severly limited we are betting on the
wrong horse trying to reduce CO2 emission. Those are three pretty big IFs,
I don't think arguing with these hypotheses as the main starting point
makes a lot of sense, and frankly I do not understand why you think it
does, other for the sake of arguing and going against the majority, or for
not having to change a convenient lifestyle.
