So what is the breaking point of denial and ignorance do you think?

Question

I personally think it falls on the shoulders of the 'baby boomers'. Unfortuantely they still hold a fair amount of social power. And they are getting older, and weaker.

I mean now there's already cases of people droppind dead in the streets from heat exhaustion in the summers. Mostly seniors. But at the current rate I seriously think that once the baby boomers are that age, and we get one 'record summer' where it gets so incredably hot, they will drop like flies.

Does anyone else think this to be ther breaking point where people stop and think, maybe there is an enviornmental problem here?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, it's usually when people reach middle age-if they make it that far.

Try reading a book by Solzhenitsyn sometime.....

Answer 2

Your comment about people dying from heat stroke is valid but it ignores the fact that far more people used to die from the cold than ever will die from the heat. Too much heat can be dealt with, on the other hand a mile high glacier 10 feet from your house is a serious problem. You can't blame everything on boomers, after all if not for them we'd all be speaking Russian and/or Chinese. It almost sounds like you hope we'll get so hot they'll "drop like flies" and it always amazes me how inhumane environmentalists often turn out to be.

There is no environmental problem caused by us that we cannot fix. The danger is environmentalists and their need to do something, be an activist and agitator, even if they're only being used by someone else. The most serious problem we face isn't CO2 its dihydrogen monoxide which kills countless people a year in it's liquid, gaseous and solid states and is found in all major rivers and oceans. Many environmentalists signed a petition to ban it. But it turns out that since it's only another chemical name for water they had no idea what they were talking about. See Penn and Teller's show for details.

Answer 3

You sound just like the boomers did in the sixties and seventies, calling the Greatest Generation a bunch of know-nothing old farts.

Then they grew up and realized how smart their parents really were.  

Just think, some day you'll grow up and realize that too.

Answer 4

Your statement doesn't match up with any facts or reality.  It's like you just thought of these statements so they must be true.

The climate is cooling down.  NOAA just released a report that said that "the average temperature for March was 42°F (6°C), which was 0.4°F (0.2°C) below the 20th century mean and ranked as the 52nd coolest March on record"

In other words, the Earths climatic temperature is now below average temperatures.  Global warming is over.

Answer 5

Whether or not global warming is true, it is not the cause of record summers.
