I'm doing what I can to help the planet. First of all I don't buy a lot of things, and what I do buy, I use until they fall apart and are unusable. Reduce, re-use, recycle..... count me in. For example I've got one TV in the house, no central air conditioning, and no dishwasher.


But the only way we actually might be able to have a world wide impact on global warming would be to shut down the economy and have everyone (worldwide) go back to a farming lifestyle. Does that sound like something that is remotely possible? So therefore we can do the next best thing and learn to do the best we can with warmer temperatures.


You alarmists can keep trying to stir up the masses with your 'the sky is falling if we don't raise taxes immediately and redistribute the money' but I am NOT BUYING IT
Who asked to shut down the economy, just some changes are in order. A small tax on fossil fuel or carbon credits are not large impact, just sensible action to change behavior. Farming also has an impact on climate by the way, methane, deforestation.


Yes we can control warming of our atmosphere, just need to have the motivation.

Of course you do. That's because you don't understand the science.

There really isn't a down side to it.
Well except for the increase in major hurricanes, melting polar ice caps, droughts, etc. So yeah, no down side at all!

We have not had crops this good in 35 years. The last 3 years after the worst drought I have experienced, have progressively gotten better and better. It could all change next year.
Best cattle herd I have ever had
More deer and hogs than ever
