My dad got some energy saving light bulbs which contain traces of mercury, like wtf, that's not exactly eco friendly.

Its like this car, Clarkson sums it up nicely

I fear choking on a pretzel more then I do Global Warming.

That should give you a good idea on how "serious" of an issue this is.

You guys have your heads in the sand. Global warming is happening. Jeremy Clarkson knows shit all about climate change because although he is funny , he is an ultra conservative stooge that needs to get attention to increase ratings. I love on his trip to the North pole he says something like " I saw no evidence of Global warming at all", even though scientists prdeict that it is disappearing so fast it might not be there in a decade.

We can do heaps to slow Global warming / climate change. Fortunately most govts are on board with it (including new US govt ) so the sceptics are thankfully being ignored. Try joining  the Flat Earth society if you need your fix of uninformed bullshit.

You lost all credibility when you insulted Clarkson.

It's not eco friendly, but it's an energy saving bulb. Not a environmentally friendly bulb. Learn the difference. That also goes for people who market energy saving bulbs as environmentally friendly/green. Maybe they are bad in the wider scope. But they save money/electricity bills and last longer, and besides unless you're an idiot and you drop it on the floor you can dispose of them safely just like batteries.

Also, I don't know about you guys, but these energy saving bulbs, they never run out. I swear to god, we've had these bulbs for god knows how long and I can't recall ever having to change them. They're so awesome, that I really hate it when people knock them

global warming, yes - that's a media coined phrase.

Climate change, happens. And it's happened lots of times before. Thing is this time, it's most definitely accelerating.



And even if you don't believe it, do you still not think we shouldn't ruin the environment?

There ya go then. So whats the problem with taking steps to combat "global warming", which in turn reduces damage to the environment?

because green laws are killing companies and killing jobs.  there is a difference between recycling and bankrupting companies thru stupid ass carbon credit fucktardery.

100% agree there about the way most western govs are handling it.

I think Germany do it best when it comes to "greenness".

Yes, Global Warming is ocurring. No, we could not stop it. It's a cycle. It would have happened one way or the other. Not that that warrants our outrageous behaviour towards the environment, but suddenly switching to energy saving bulbs, drinking our own piss and riding a one wheeled bike is not going to change much. Even if 4 billion people do it. Yes it may slow the process down, but it will happen. Combating it is just slowing it down, and slowing it down just allows for more assholeish scientists to fling more crap at society. Lets see what happens.

It wouldn't do much with respect to climate change, but if 4 billion people did it (ok lets not take drinking piss/one wheel bike literally) you would notice some big changes.

Not really, cause I don't notice the changes now. Really, having a piss poor "summer" in England isn't anything new...

We did not create climate change but we are w/o a doubt helping it along. IMO to think that we can reverse it or stop it is absurd. If we can integrate technology that is less destructive to the environment then i think we should, but even that seems a little overwhelming. There is more methane in our atmosphere then ever before and that's a fact but we all can't run out and convert our cars to run on recycled Thai restaurant cooking oil now can we. Thing is the world won't actually end, and in time it will self right itself no matter what we do to it. The problem is that the process is less then desirable living conditions for us. Like i said before, it's pretty foolish to think we can stop nature and/or the cycle of the entire planet.

My views on this topic are very simple.

1. Regardless of what causes it, we'd do very well to not make it worse.

2. Regardless of what causes it, we'd do very, very well to try and insulate ourselves from some of its effects.
The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.
