Who else hates all this stuff about"Global Warming" and "Going Green"???

Question

It's all so annoying, is it not? I mean if "global warming" is going to happen then it will happen, if that's what God intends. And if anything causes "global warming" it's those useless space shuttles costing tax payers trillions of dollars burning who knows how much fuel and breaking through the atmosphere just so the government and put satelites up in space so they can spy on us Americans.(how DO they know how many people wathched American Idol the other night, huh?) Oh and what's the deal with Al Gore??? Made a movie on global warming, apparently discovered the internet, and uses more energy and stuff then anyone else! But gosh all this recycling and going green and global warming is getting on my last nerve!!! Anyone else agree??? What's your opinion???

Answer 1

We can go green all we want but the earth will still warm.  The earth only warms because its natural. We've had long periods of warming and cooling(very cold weather) throughout the decades.  The movie "The Inconvenient Truth" has scientific facts that are incorrect.  The man himself has a house that uses a lot of electricity or whatever. Don't get me wrong, reducing how much we use can save you money, and how much we use gas too.

This link has some links you can check out for yourself on global warming in the description.

Answer 2

whats wrong with trying to save the environment??? there's nothing wrong with that?? people are just stupid who think that theres nothing going on in the world and that we dont need to do our part to keep it clean and recycle stuff and save it...animals go extinct and forests get cleared out every day. theres more uva and more uvb rays now and more people getting skin cancer now than there were 20 years ago. that could just be all the stupid people ruining there skin in the tanning beds, but what ever

Answer 3

Who says that God doesn't intend for us to do something to take care of ourselves and prevent this? Is there nothing in the Bible about God punishing people for not taking action? I seem to recall quite a few of those things.

You seem to have a lot of unfounded opinions that you needed to rant about. You apparently have no concern for anyone that lives past your last day on Earth, and I feel sorry for you.

Answer 4

Space shuttles punching holes in the atmosphere causes global warming?

Are you some sort of uneducated luddite? Your position is worse than the nonsense spouted by the green idiots.

The fuel being burned is hydrogen. The exhaust is pure water vapour.

The NASA space program probably costs each taxpayer less than the cost of one cup of coffee at Tim Hortons. A lot of the technology that is keeping you in a reasonably comfortable lifestyle right now resulted from the requirement for better smaller technology in the space program.

And if global warming renders the planet uninhabitable, space is the only place we have to go.

Answer 5

I agree. It bothers me that they are trying to shove global warming and going green down our throats...

If they wanted to try to stop or reverse global warming, they should have started years ago instead of trying to rectify the situation all at once.

Answer 6

I refuse to buy anything with the "green" label...it's a one-man boycott.  Being a capitalist, I vote with my dollar.

Answer 7

It starts to p**s me off after a while.

Answer 8

I agree 20000%!!!!! Plus i hate the first answerer, you're ttly not an idiot!!!

Answer 9

Hi,

You make some good points, but computers are helping us go paperless throughout work, home and bills suck as on-line banking. We need to recylce becasue we need to reduce, reuse and resell. Recylcing is taking a product at the end of its  life and using its raw materials to make another product.  Why would you not want to do that?

Answer 10

No. And how dare you assign that as something that God would do! You should be ashamed of yourself.

For the record, "those useless space shuttles" are NOT costing tax payers trillions of dollars. As a matter of fact, NASA's entire budget is less than $1 billion a year. You should have some knowledge of the things you discuss before you shoot your mouth off. After all, if you had any idea what you're talking about, you'd understand that the technologies produced by NASA have produced entire industries that have benefitted tax payers, creating jobs associated with those technologies. Do some reading, you'll learn what I'm talking about and you will be surprised.

Also, the fuel the shuttles uses is clean burning. Again, know your sources. The shuttle operates on something called a hydrogen cell. The boosters used by the shuttle burn liquified gas which throws out so little green house gases that it's been used in other applications.

I really think that your parents need to punish you. They should take away everything you own for the next 3 years, leaving you only with a library card. They should then force you to spend all your free time in the library reading as you dont seem to be getting anything out of the schools.

Greenhouse gases and global warming are a reality and you're going to need to deal with that.

Answer 11

It's an excuse to implement a new tax on working Americans, while handing a massive giveaways to corporations and the ultra-rich that the rest of us have to make up for

Here's one example of the attempts:

Maybe We Deserve to Be Ripped Off By Bush's Billionaires

http://www.alternet.org/columnists/story...

Calling the new tax a step to address global warming is completey disingenuous, because a cut on the part of the United States will be completely ineffective while the developing countries are not involved:

"Global problems require global solutions," said EDF atmospheric physicist Dr. Michael Oppenheimer. "For the treaty to be an environmental success, all greenhouse gases must be reduced and a pathway must be created toward the participation of all nations."

http://www.edf.org/pressrelease.cfm?Cont...

There's no reason to implement a clearly ineffective global warming response, other than to simply replace the funds being given out elsewhere.  

---

As far as your "it may be God's will" theory, you seem to have missed a chapter:

"God will destroy the destroyers of the earth"  (Revelation chapter 11 verse 18)

You have free will.  You choose daily whether to destroy the earth or save it.  You're part of the solution, or you're the problem.  There's no middle ground.

Answer 12

I think that "going green" is a great idea, but capitalizing on it and making it into the latest trend is not.

Answer 13

There is a flaw in your argument. You assume that man was created by god to just throw trash, burn oil, pollute and increase the temperature of the earth and raise the sea level. Just because you do not want to own up to the mistake does not make it god's intention for global warming.  

I think people nowadays just bring in god wherever it is convenient for them to do so.

Using your same argument can we say : if ozone hole had to happen, it will happen. God intended to?

Why did all the countries start banning CFCs so as to prevent the ozone hole? we could have just left it to "God's will" which would have left us with no ozone and a lot of skin cancer??

Answer 14

FYI: The Polls & Surveys section is listed under Entertainment & Music.

Nice rant.  Useless space shuttle: just because your intellect and imagination can't wrap itself around the achievements of this program and future applications doesn't mean they don't exist.  The impacts of a shuttle launch can and should be mitigated, certainly.

How do they know who watched 'Idol?'  It's called the Nielson Ratings, silly.

Gore: Former VP, don't you know.  The Internet thing is old and tired, get new material, there's plenty of it. The man won the Nobel Peace Prize and donated the proceeds.  Let's move on.

What gets on my nerves, I supposes, is how naive/ignorant/angry/anti-social/arrogan... so many people on this site can be.  What keeps me here is the chance to hang out with some interesting souls, learn a thing or two, and maybe share some of what I know.

Remember, polls & surveys is in the Entertainment & Music category.

Answer 15

first off God is not behind Global warming, we are

by saying that is like keeping your house dirty and saying God intended for it to be smelly, moldy and rat infested when all you had to do is clean it

Secondly if you think going green is annoying wait till you have flooding cities, massive heat waves, famine, drought  and force 5 hurricanes , now thats annoying

Answer 16

i wouldn't be saying that cuz all the people who are "going green" are the ones who are doing right and who care about the earth.

Answer 17

its stuiped

none of you are going to give up your cars

your tv

you heating

your music fridges

ect

so whats the point your just prolonging it

it will take generations for us to change and we dont have that long its possible for us to extract thesse green house gases out our atomosphere or reflect the extra uv rays back

if we spend the global green money on stuff like this it would be sorted

Answer 18

God bless you child!

'Going Green' isn't a bad thing, it's a very good thing, however, blaming man for causing it is wrong

Answer 19

im sorry but your REALLY retarted. You probably dont know ANYTHING about global warming. Going green is the best thing at the moment unless you have a better idea...oh wait, you DONT. And do yo think they put space shuttle up there for fun? NO!!! It's for research! Get it in your thick head. and the satelites from american idol pick up all the tv viewers it has nothing to do with the government spying

Answer 20

I totally agree with you. I am doing a project on the legitamacy of the concept of Global warming and all my research so far has pointed to the government hoaxing us. If you have any other comments, or anything else, I would love to talk with you.

Answer 21

on the day when you have to put on a infrared suit just to go outside you will know what global warming is all about. you make it sounds as if it is gods plan? no dear it is not,  it is driven by the greed of man. the united states are not the only ones either. places like China and India and Saudi Arabia are far worse. we have been destroying our own planet in the name of convenience. the space shuttles are not doing anything it's the use of fossil fuel like oil, gas and gasoline which is destroying the ozone layer. and just remember that all those "useless trips by the space shuttle" may be trying to find your future grandkids somewhere to live. (if they make it that far)

Answer 22

Why don't we just litter everywhere too?  Like, what's the point of trash trucks taking it to the landfills?  Just pitch it in the yard... it'll recycle itself.

Grow up!

Answer 23

Yeah, Al Gore and the space shuttle... you pretty much nailed it...  plus, when you add God's will, it goes without saying that those self-righteous pricks trying to repair the damage that people have done, and continue to do to the environment, should just shut the h**l up!  

How dare they get on our nerves with all this "caring about the place we live" c**p?  Who cares if we get cancer from holes in the ozone and/or neurological damage from the mercury in the fish, I don't wanna hear about it anymore!  Jeez, it's God's will anyway - not a by-product of the industrial revolution and unscrupulous individuals who took and took, and still take and take and take without giving anything back - like those chatty Green Earthers know anything...

But WE know better!  I bet they're burning little babies for Space Shuttle fuel... and those d**n satellites used to spy on my television viewing habits?!?!?  I had always thought it was the Nielsen Ratings fairy...

It's all a wash anyway, I'll be dead by the time anything really bad happens - I won't have to deal with it, plus my kids got Playstation, they should just be happy with what we've left 'em.

d**n you, Al Gore, with your hoggin' all the energy... and stuff...

Answer 24

Heh. Honestly, I do not care at all about the environment , and I find people that are obsessed with it, annoying. Ill throw out whatever the h**l I want to throw out.

Answer 25

I agree about the space program, scale it back to save money, Al Gore, whatever, but I see nothing wrong with trying to live in a way which is easier on the environment, whether or not you believe in global warming or you don't. After all, regardless of our political or religious beliefs we all want a nice, healthy, clean place to live.

Answer 26

There are conspiracy theories that say it is just a way to tax people and make more money for the rich elite.

Watch this radio DJ, who calls a leader of an organisation who protest on global warming issues - blocking aiports etc...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFgA4kZsE...

Answer 27

wow how can taking care of our planet our home become annoying? do you take care of your house your clothes your car your personal items,yourself Why? so they last !!! well its the same with our planet . Maybe this is why it is in such a mess maybe there are so many people like you out there that just don't care. Its easier to blame others than take on the responsibility to recycle and reuse. Sad

Answer 28

If you slipped and fell, would you not put out your hands to break your fall, or fall on your face 'as God intends'? If you accidentally touch a hot stove, would you yank back or burn your flesh as if it were God's intention? Would you save a baby bird if it falls out of the nest or let it die, since everything happens for a reason? WELL?

Answer 29

Whats funny is a lot of people are buying into certain things because they assume things about saving the environment.  

A friend of mine runs a restaurant and switched to brown napkins because more people believed they were environmentally friendly because they "might be" recycled.  She doesn't tell them they are, people just think that so they like it better.

Answer 30

I know it does get annoying ,but it makes sense. If we don't do something who knows what will happen to the world.!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM REALLY 50/50 ON THE WHOLE IDEA!

Answer 31

Annoying as it may be, it is good for us to make attempts to be respectful of those who are trying.  I'm never annoyed by people who make every effort they can to help the earth.  In fact, I admire them.
