Remember Running Man? Great Movie. Now picture it if Arnold was actually the planet Earth. And Richard Dawson was Global Warming. That's what I'm talking about. Take heed, from Aspen Daily: (if the next quote doesn't scare you, you have no soul.)
"The size of the climate problem? Worldwide atmospheric carbon has jumped from 280 to 383 parts per million in the last century; the polar icecaps are melting three times faster than anyone's direst prediction; China is on the verge of surpassing the United States for greenhouse gas emissions; bark beetles and wildfires are sweeping across Western forests; temperatures are climbing, sea levels rising, glaciers vanishing. By some estimates, humans must pull 30 gigatons of carbon from the atmosphere to have a shot at reversing such effects. "
30 Gigatons!!! That's enough for 24 time traveling journeys (assuming 1 Gigaton of carbon equals a Gigawatt.) Perhaps we can use one of the time traveling escapades to stop us from using Aqua Net and discovering coal.
"Gore advised the audience to compare the blue orb of the Earth to Venus,
where daytime temperatures reach 867 degrees Fahrenheit and it rains sulphuric
acid. The two planets have the same amount of carbon, Gore explained, but Venus' just happens to be in the atmosphere, while most of the Earth's is still locked
underground. "The habitability of this planet for human beings really is at
risk," he said, but "It is a race."
Get used to our new home, Venus Prime (aka, Old Earth).
I mean, we are insanely close to being like Venus...our sister twin. Oh, what fun. And we're talking on the order of years (I would guess).
Gore is the pinnacle of awesomeness. "... Gore has spent 30 years trying to bring the world around to the effects of global climate change" 30 Years!!! In fact, at no time do I recall him NOT spewing forth Green living stylio. "These are not political problems. They are moral imperatives." "These are not political problems. They are moral imperatives." "These are not political problems. They are moral imperatives."
Look, resistance is futile. They are moral imperatives. The complete article should convince all the naysayers -http://www.aspendailynews.com/article_20762 Even though I basically quoted the whole thing. Where is your God, now?
