There are over 7 billion of us and our technology has a history of polluting the air, oceans, rivers and lakes not to mention the mess we make on land...We are the only creature alive that is destroying the only home we have, and if we don't smarten up we'll destroy ourselves as well.
So, is it time to halt most immigration to help slow our population growth or is our planet irrelevant when it comes to being fair?
tiny is the impact of man, to think otherwise is the height of arrogance and ignorance.
Then why is the ocean in trouble with plastic everywhere and the Pacific with nuclear radiation? Why did Los Angeles implement air quality standards in the 90s? Why are all our rivers polluted? Did god do it?
as for CO2, that particular gas makes up about .004% of the atmospheric gases, and man puts out less than .4% of the total amount of CO2 that goes into the atmosphere each year. so tell me again how much impact man really has.
Yup. 400 PPM. It hasn't been this high in millions of years, before humans existed. And 400 ppm is a danger line. The planet now goes into a pattern that guarantees it will go higher.
oh i do remember when teh government forced the auto industry to change over from R12 to R134a. i also know the reason wasnt due to any noble effort to "fix" the so called ozone hole, which by the way is located over antarctica, and is a natural opening that changes size with the seasons.
the real reason is that dupont held the patents for R12, and they were running out. and since the government would not extend the patents on R12, dupont developed R134a so they could continue to make huge amounts of money in their refrigerant division. dupont also got the government to make the production of R12 illegal in this country. R12 is still made in other countries by the way, including india and mexico.
This is your brain on Alex Jones.
