Does the inefficient use of fossil fuels affect the way you see other people?

Question

Yes or No, and why?

Answer 1

I see democrats as short sighted and strange.  They bemoan the use of fossel fuels and yet have prevented any new nuke power plants from being built for the last 30 years.

Answer 2

I read about the people of Canada that live around the tar sands. Many are getting sick and even the fish are suffering. Today here is what we know:  many of mankind’s advancements cause earth surface to warm, destroy the ozone layer, kill off endanger species and in some way cause more destruction.  Blacktop (roads and parking lots) and buildings heat cities, air pollution (causes lung and other diseases), deforestation (causes duststorms which increase hurricanes and cyclones), fires (cause pollution, mud slides, and deforestation); Refrigerants like CFC's, solvents including benzene (destroy the ozone layer raising skin cancer rates); cars, airplanes, ships and most electricity production (causes pollution including raised CO2 levels). We need to fix our part! That is why I founded CoolingEarth.org a geoengineering web sight. The federal government needs to adopt a pollution surcharge to balance the field and advance new technologies. We must pay the real price of oil including global warming and for health effects. But with that we must understand we have never seen what is now happening before. CO2 has never lead to temperature change, but temperature change has led to increases in CO2. The models have to be made as we go along with little evidence! The result is:  change is on the way. Even natural events are warming earth and causing destruction. The sun has an increased magnetic field causing increases in earthquakes (more destruction), volcanoes (wow, great destruction), and sun spots. Lighting produces ozone near the surface (raising air pollution levels). But humans have destroyed half of the wetlands, cut down nearly half of the rain forest, and advance on the earths grasslands while advancing desertification. The USA Mayor's have taken a stand and I believe are on the right track, we can have control and can have economic growth.

Answer 3

Not really, but I keep having to buy stronger reading glasses.

Answer 4

Yes, I get somewhat frustrated when I see people wasting fuel or energy in general. But I understand where they are at - that is how we all grew up, some of us just haven't made the transition to a more efficient lifestyle yet.

Answer 5

It tends to, yes. I mean, everyone has to drive, and there are NO options with fuel or cars. it's a "gas or get out" society.

But when I see families that have a monster sized escalade or hummer for each member of the family, it really gets me mad, especially when they probably paid twice as much as a hybrid and get 1/5th the mileage.

It's made even worse with their hypocrisy. 9 times out of ten  it's those enormous guzzlers that are covered in bumper stickers that say things like "Love god!" or "love jesus!" or" support our brave heroic troops! and support beautiful america!"

Don;t they realize that sucking down gas like that is the destroying americas image and wrecking our planet that god made?
