An Inconvenient Truth

Hababi · 06-05-2006, 05:30 PM

Anyone see the d0cumentary yet? What do you think will be done about global warming? Will we finally do what's necessary, or will we go down a path that will entail significant repurcussions?

Jharaski · 06-05-2006, 05:38 PM

Since global warming won't severly affect anyone over 40, I doubt that anyone who really matters and has influence over these things will really care.

Humans have a knack for doing nothing only until they begin suffering the repercussions.

Is the d0cumentary available online?

concidering what i know about dissipation of guilt, groupthink, etc. People wont do anything until either

A. Guilt rests soley on them

B. they feel repurcussions

We're seeing plenty of repercussions already thanks.

Won't it be so funny if "The Day After Tommorrow" turns out to be one of the most prophetic and timely movies in history?

Yah, because every politician is aged 39 or under.

But seriously, people need to stop fooling themselves. The planet has long passed the stage where we can do something to stop the climate changing drastically. It's simply too late. Animal life will adapt as it always does and hopefully not too many species will get wiped out, but humanity has been stupid and will pay the price. Let no one say we didn't deserve it.

*Shrug*, short of getting half the world to jump at the same time and move the worlds orbit a little to the right (or left), the planet is gonna get very cold or very hot anyway.

It wouldn't have happened so quickly (a matter of a century) if we hadn't let it happen.

Reaganista · 06-05-2006, 08:31 PM

of course we'll do something about it

~~coheneran~~ · 06-05-2006, 08:33 PM

Yeah, build boats.

Actually, Water World was pretty cool.

Yeah but not the severe ones that will happen if we continue in our current path.

You mean I can hide out in a public library and Dennis Quaid will come rescue me when everything happens all at once? And I'll be trapped in that library with Emma Rossum?

...Hey, maybe we ought to wait on this global warming thing after all..

Riiightt...

Anywho, if you look at the bigger picture, there's not much we could have done. If it isn't done to us, it will be to our kids. I mean, pick your poison here. If we were able to delay the effects for a century, our kids are still feeling it, and our grandkids are feeling it. The trick is to delay it for about 150 years, so that way our immediate relatives are gone and everybody else can die. It's easy.

It's not playing where I live, yet at least. I might find it online, or if anyone can point me in the right direction to finding it.

Excelsior!!

I plan on building an elaborate underground city with many many many years worth of space-food and purified water to combat global warming.

um I don't know if you are serious but all those people jumping at the same time won't move the planet.

Only an outside force could move the planet. I won't go in to it deeper unless you really believe this.

The earth will cool down, it just has cycles. What humans do to this planet is nothing compared to what nature can do it self.
