That's perfect! What you care about is what you can have!!

Excuse me, but this is a public forum! I can "butt" in on whom ever I want. Furthermore, you conservatives express yourselves in a nasty negative manner most of the time. Perhaps you should stop embarrassing yourself with BS.

Live smarter!!

This problem is greater than all of us and is a bipartisan issue. At least Obama and Al Gore care enough to listen to the scientists on this one. And, some of us do conserve, recycle, donate, and care about the environment. Conservatives just care about the "bottom line". I am so sick of hearing about the greed and the lies coming from the conservative/ republican party as they try to screw the world to fill their pocketbooks. As saying goes, "when the last tree is cut, all the streams are polluted and the air is thick with smog, you can eat your money"!

Part of the problem is people who hunt elk and deer when we already have grocery stores full of meat!! The gun is an extension of the male body to conservatives.

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Socialism isn't perfect either. But, at least the liberals don't stay awake at night thinking about the war we created out of greed and lies. Too many people dead due to past conservative "principles"! The problem with conservatives is that they are selfish and greedy (and unrealistic). They care more about legitimizing rape than dealing with the real issues in this country.

Put your engineering mind to good use do something positive. Obviously, you don't understand scientific principles. Just go watch TV and eat TV dinners---life will be just fine for you. They rest of us will move forward to the future. The old school is gone, time to grow up.

There have been mass extinctions in the past over millions of years, but humans and human activity are main causes of extinction now and it is rapidly accelerating due to habitat loss. Oh, but I forgot, humans are at the top of the food chain so who cares?!

You are obviously too ignorant of scientific principles to understand anyway, so why not just give it up!

Actually, everything you do impacts the environment which impacts plant and animal species. Deforestation is caused by livestock production and agriculture to name a few, which leads to species loss. We already know that fossil fuel use leads to global warming which ultimately leads to extinction. (Maybe you don't drive a car or heat your house with fossil fuels in which case you are way ahead of the game!) We have garbage swirls the size of New Jersey in our oceans and the oceans are warming. With the delicate balance of the oceans and forests being disturbed, we will see extinction and demise in the near future. We already have a diet of GMOs which hurts/ kills bees and butterflies, which directly effects OUR food supply. In short we must ALL contribute to helping out our planet before it is to late. You can stick your head in the ground and pretend it isn't so, but that isn't very productive or realistic.

It isn't quite so simple. Everything we do impacts the environment which impacts both plant and animal species.
Do you eat meat? Livestock accounts for a huge amount of deforestation. Half of the cleared land in the US supports livestock. Eating less meat is a good way to conserve and save animals.
Do you eat crackers and cookies? They were probably made with palm oil, whose harvest is a major cause of deforestation.
Do you heat your house with solar or wind? Our continued dependance on fossil fuel greatly impacts the environment. The oceans are warming the poles are melting and species are dying.
Do you take medicines? Most medicines were derived from natural products originally. Many more cures could be found from new discoveries in the already depleted rain forests.
Do you eat soy or wheat? Much of our foods are now GMO derived, and we know that GMOs impact the bee and butterfly populations, which directly affects our own food supply.
Do you use plastic? Do you recycle? Cutting down on garbage is certainly one way to help the environment, and protect species in the ocean and on land. Fossil fuels are used to make plastics and they are not biodegradable and impact the oceans greatly, where animals eat garbage thinking it is food.
This is a very complicated issue. If we do not make critical changes soon, our environment may become unlivable and the human population may well suffer in a hundred years or so! Knowledge is key because everyone must contribute to preservation.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Glad someone else has noticed. Climate deniers are dragging the rest of the world down--those who want to preserve and protect the Earth for future generations and all species. Seems they are only concerned with the bottom line. Hard to ignore Biology and Physics! Hope the country gets it together soon to try to stop Global Warming / Climate Change.
