What are you doing against Global Warming

What am I doing to stop nature? Blood sacrifices to the Moon God that he might bless us with tides.

Also I use public transport.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Isn't there a break-even point where the cost of fluorescent lighting becomes cheaper than with filament?

How ya doing, buddy?

In short the answer is: not very. In a lot of ways it's better to just let it sit in a landfill and either be eaten away by bacteria (no joke), or wait until recycling the materials becomes cost-effective. That will only really work well, though, if your landfill sorts its material. In the future, I mean.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Not even thermonuclear war can definitely wipe out all life on the Earth. We'd have to try really fucking hard to make sure that life has no future on this mudball planet.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

So show of hands, how many of you people are Deep Ecologists?

I was speaking idiomatically.

So I notice there's way too much high-fives going on in this thread. (and Gechmir mostly for himself)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Don't most cities fine landowners that waste water during a drought?

FELIPE NO

Well if you're not on city/township water I suppose it's just your problem now, isn't it?

Of course, I could only assume that Watts isn't arguing that we shouldn't bother conserving resources when experiencing severe shortages of it. (like your drought)

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Yeah well think about it, by the time the population does get cut in half we'd have still been consuming resources at the same rate, only advanced with China and India in the game, so not only is your idea inhuman and unnecessary, it's also ineffective.

Of course, US natives are barely experiencing replacement birthrates and European countries are in the negative. It's doubtful that we'll really need population control, since as people move away from subsistence farming, there is not a need to have extra kids (hands) in order to create more wealth. The same thing will happen to China and India... eventually.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
