And not just in a warming trend.<BR/>Second, that if we are indeed in a warming trend, that warming is a bad thing and why. Third, that man has any control over it. And if so; why not make it warmer? <BR/>Forth, that man can somehow stop it. .<BR/>None of these things have been proven.<BR/>What we can do is stop increased socialism and the mysticism that produces it. The progressive sanctioning of our own victimization by our elected leaders who use the "sky is falling Chicken Little" scare tactics to cause us to victimize ouselves, for we are all sure to die from the impending revolution oon this horizon, long before we die of heat exhaustion.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13049870716519306645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2718308414964784473.post-74134158865721530352008-01-04T18:51:00.000-08:002008-01-04T18:51:00.000-08:00Bob,Thanks for the post.

I meant to read it back when you told us of it on the AODA list but I just didn't get around to it during the holiday season.<BR/><BR/>I have to admit I didn't know much about global warming until I watched Al Gore's movie. Even then I didn't really get into the ideas until I started walking in the path of Druid studies. Now that I am aware it seems so obvious to me and yet everywhere I go I encounter people exactly like this guy. Either they don't buy into it or they just don't care. It baffles me how a person could be so blind and even more when a person knows it to be true but ignores it completely.<BR/><BR/>bwMatthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06368195895421044006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2718308414964784473.post-36580677350847564292007-12-11T12:36:00.000-08:002007-12-11T12:36:00.000-08:00I would have said that in the bible, if he was ind...I would have said that in the bible, if he was indeed Christian, God said to take care of the garden and earth and the animals.<BR/>To love thy neighbour. Plants are living things. Loving the people around you includes helping them to be fed. without being able to grow crops, animals and huamns will starve.<BR/><BR/>People like him make me angry, although I shouldn't judge, it really does bug me that people really don't care about the environment.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the rant. =PWillowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07459981609770309139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2718308414964784473.post-7083860299995936722007-12-11T05:22:00.000-08:002007-12-11T05:22:00.000-08:00I have encountered this as well...only usually it ...I have encountered this as well...only usually it comes in the form of "the rapture will take place soon, so we don't need to worry about environmental problems". Its very sad that people use their religious beliefs as an excuse to not change their behaviors and make a difference.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12081290250010881044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2718308414964784473.post-5996031945563453772007-12-10T18:49:00.000-08:002007-12-10T18:49:00.000-08:00That is upsetting!

The very same people who would consider it a "Christian duty" to volunteer at the local soup kitchen or to contribute to the collection plate each Sunday, for example, somehow think that problems of global scale and import are out of their hands, even when similarly small, simple steps really can make a great deal of difference... I just <I>hate</I> when people use "God" as an excuse for their own laziness and apathy!<BR/><BR/>Then you have the people who aren't just indifferent to global warming, but welcome it as a sign that the world is headed right for that End of Days they're so eager to witness. Those people scare me.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738190874181111086noreply@blogger.com
