	cheerbunnie Promo Model (10673posts) 2/4/2007 4:34:00 PM Are any of you at all worried about this?? Have you seen the movie "Inconvenient truth" ?? I actually had to shut it off because it was so disturbing. I am not so much worried about how global warming with affect me, I am more worried about my son and his children. Have you or will you change simple things you do every day to help reduce the amount of energy we waste on the daily basis?? This scares me, seriously :ugh:

	steviewandered Member (3791posts) 2/4/2007 4:52:00 PM I was gonna wait on the book to become available at the library but I may watch it first.
	Whitewashed Member (795posts) 2/4/2007 4:59:00 PM If your car's idling for more than 5 seconds - turn it off.
	Yoree Member (4675posts) 2/4/2007 8:22:00 PM Oh yeah, that's gonna save the earth.
	Tantalus Member (31777posts) 2/4/2007 8:51:00 PM I actually had to shut it off because it was so disturbing. Good job. If something upsets you in life, just do the ostrich routine, right? I mean, it's only yourself you have to worry about. I am not so much worried about how global warming with affect me, I am more worried about my son and his children. Oh. You know what? Maybe next time you see something that makes you fear for your offspring's future? Confront it, think about it, and take action. The ostrich routine is for cowards, imbeciles, and the morally empty.
	tekkamaki Raver (13790posts) 2/4/2007 10:09:00 PM everyone should go to the upcoming EPIC tradeshow... it's all about everyone doing what they can another scary thing to watch - Advertising And The End Of The World by Sut Jhally i watched it several years ago and it made me so scared for the future. somehow i managed to get caught up in the mainstream again, and I lost all urgency to change and encourage others to do so as well. its easy to recoil into your circle of influence and forget about the big picture. so many shiny things to distract us.

	boost Member (17413posts) 2/4/2007 10:48:00 PM plus i can keep on downloading.....documents. when i have other stuff to do.
	Tantalus Member (31777posts) 2/4/2007 10:53:00 PM ^That's great, boost, but it's going to do dick-all in the grand scheme of things. How's about Empire Alley galvanizing the kids on this issue? Seriously. If you have the ear of youth, why not use it?
	tekkamaki Raver (13790posts) 2/4/2007 10:56:00 PM yeah gotta make it trendy... social marketing and stuff
	Chaos Member (8950posts) 2/4/2007 11:04:00 PM ^That's great, boost, but it's going to do dick-all in the grand scheme of things. No shxt. While we're led to believe that lowering car emissions is some grand scheme to save the planet it will do diddly squat. Pollution from industry is far greater than what all the cars output every year. Regardless even if we did manage to somehow eradicate all the effects of the toxins we've put in the air what about the ones we've dumped in the ocean and the earth, after time they will be just as destructive. Really it's societies way of life that drives the pollution we create. There is no way we can just stop doing what we're doing either. In the end, just like a kid running with a pair of scissors, we'll have to pick up and learn from our mistakes and keep on truckin. If we survive ourselves that is.
	Tantalus Member (31777posts) 2/4/2007 11:06:00 PM ^Hey, come on man, don't be such a downer. I was just trying to promote the latest Empire Alley album.
	Tantalus Member (31777posts) 2/4/2007 11:07:00 PM It's carbon neutral!
	jimmy_mcnulty Member (1528posts) 2/4/2007 11:08:00 PM a little less cocaine on your waffles!!
	hasooonah Member (146posts) 2/4/2007 11:08:00 PM Interesting topic Better than "mythos + DickSS" dumb topics at least Chemical factories, cars, excessive use of detergents, forest fires, and even the damn cigarettes are all contributing to global warming and pollution of our environment. cheerbunnie: I am worried about the future of my sons because of this pollution. their lives at risk ! unfortunately, i can't do anything about this. the damage to earth has already happened, and it just keeps deteriorating !
	Chaos Member (8950posts) 2/4/2007 11:32:00 PM Hey, come on man, don't be such a downer. I'd rather come across as a downer than try to sugar coat the long term reality of our actions. The positive aspects are stronger pushes to more sustainable energy sources, new environmental technologies that could have applications suited to space exploration, leaps in science, more awareness of what our effects on this planet, which nurtures and supports us, are, etc. In the end it will balance out. Chemical factories, cars, excessive use of detergents, forest fires, and even the damn cigarettes are all contributing to global warming and pollution of our environment. Don't forget about the beef industry, soil erosion from overgrazing will turn our fertile growing land into deserts, where it already hasn't started doing so. Cattle are also responsible for an equal amount of carbon emissions proportionate to cars. Laugh if you want, the data is there to support it. Again though the biggest source of pollution is our way of life (which is mostly North America's way of life, which alot of other countries despise but try to emulate. Irony much?

Seriously. If you have the ear of youth, why not use it? i wasn't being serious about letting my computer run on batteries. i'm pretty sure that charging it up would use more power than normal. as for global warming, or....what are they calling it now - "climate change"? - i got into a big discussion with my parents about it yesterday. i've been weirded out by the bizarre weather for a while, but....yeah, how does a single person change an entire culture's way of thinking? so...baby steps. carpool, etc. turn lights off. heat down. personally, i try to just be aware of what i'm consuming, and to use less whenever possible. as for climate change awareness through the band, that's not a bad idea. i'm ogranizing a benefit concert for the summer. the idea was to raise money for homeless shelters, but if you have any ideas on how to incorporate climate change awareness, let me have 'em.

Laugh if you want, the data is there to support it. apparently whole forests in south america are being destroyed in order to clear fields to grow soybeans. so technically, vegetarians are killing the planet as well.
	Tantalus Member (31777posts) 2/5/2007 12:03:00 AM So Empire Alley is pro-carbon? Wow. That's going out on a limb. Let's see how it plays with the kids. Kids love carbon.
