Global warming deniers put us all in jeopardy. By obstructing and keeping the sane among us from making efforts to reduce carbon emissions put the rest of us in danger.

The largest dangers is that climate scientists are right on one level about warming but wrong on another level. That miscalculation may be that our climate could flip quickly into a serious situation that we will be unable to do anything about. We could be like the airliner that is reaching the point of crashing catastrophically when there is no time to do anything.

Yeah...this is just typical liberal kneejerk broilerplate.  

But here is where it starts to get...interesting.

1. . There's much more to the seriousness of our situation than just climate change.

And climate scientists are not addressing the entire situation. I see one or two on Rachel Maddow, and they talk about how we can make steps to reduce carbon emissions. But the real issue is bigger than that. And by only addressing carbon emissions, they are missing the mark. Caffeine in our coastal waters, fisheries depleted, heavy nitrogen pollution in our rivers and oceans, global dimming, deforestation... Oh, and global warming.

When do we start talking about global population? Never? If never, then all of the rest isn't worth even talking about. We might as well just continue the fossil fuel party. Otherwise it's time to start making the difficult decision to discuss the unmentionable.

3. Exactly. The SUSTAINABLE human population for this planet is about 1 billion.

We passed that mark a long time ago, and it's been going downhill like a rocket-sled on rails ever since.

I've got two words for you.

You First.


Edit: Of course I forgot the link...nothing new there.

Let's pretend that global warming is real.

1) Who on DU is sane?
2) Who on DU would make an effort to do anything other than bitch, do drugs, bitch, lay around, bitch, demand others to do something, bitch, hate, and bitch?
