Simply laughable; as though it would have any effect whatsoever. Similar to removing one grain of sand from an ant hill and hoping for change, all while demolishing the economy.

I look at facts and evidence from multiple sources and make determinations based on that.QuakerOats;1793621 wrote:I figured that was coming.
So getting back on topic, you lost your original religion to Earth worship; is that what you are trying to say?
Not at all. Again, if we DO indeed do our part, we buy time. Time is a good thing. Just not the solution.sleeper;1793556 wrote:That is what you are effectively saying hence my analogy about the neighbor. Continue to be dense though!
No shit dude. I'm not expecting to solve human induced climate change over night but it'd be nice if the US lead the charge instead of sitting with our thumb up our butt and blaming China and India's inaction.O-Trap;1793626 wrote:Not at all.

Makes more sense to "worship" an actual thing that we all live upon than a nebulous concept based around folklore and tall tales.QuakerOats;1793621 wrote:I figured that was coming.

No disagreement there. Never was. However, I do think we should at least focus some time and attention to it.sleeper;1793629 wrote:No shit dude.

Leaders lead. The US can lead the initiative by example.Con_Alma;1793656 wrote:I haven't seen anyone blaming China and India's inaction. I may have missed that somewhere.
A global solution is need for a global problem. If the U.S. wants to "lead" they should consider gaining a global consensus to address the concerns...otherwise they are just a country who is acting autonomously and "hoping" others jump on board.
