The earth can handle 2km long meteorites slamming into it, but it can't handle this?
I don't believe that sort of fear mongering
Corporations will do this if they are made to.
I think they will follow the laws we make for them.
I watch and hear what is going on, although I don't hear CEO making environmental speeches all the time, but I do see a changing consumer and a want of the people to be more responsible, and I see pressure on corporations to change, and I see commercials on TV showing that the changes are happening.
The earth can handle 2km long meteorites slamming into it, but it can't handle this? I doubt it. It will be fine as we progress along with our new developments. The future looks bright to me.
It's called A Brief History of Progress and it's written by Ronald Wright
That book should be put into schools as part of the regular curriculum

How do you know this report to be fact? You realize science has been wrong before, correct? "Science" once told us the earth was flat and that the sun revolved around the earth. How many current studies show us coffee is bad for us? How many current studies show us coffee is good?
Further, there are data and science that disagree with the "facts" in this report. So I ask again, how do you know what is the truth here.
I noticed crap like this happening up north back in '94. Suddenly the spring that usually takes place over a month happened in one day, normally that's a freak of nature but when it happens every year? Hell in Jan 2004 it rained in Kugluktuk!! That may not seem much to some of you but at that time of year it's supposed to be -35 to -45 without the wind, on average (with wind) it's -50 to -65!.
Yes, we do not know whether the report is entirely correct. But even if only a tenth of this would be correct (I personally think it is more though, after years of reading and all), it would still mean something serious is going on (to use an understatement).Paco said:Gonzo said:I saw that on TV. today.
