Dear Kim, please attack South Korea. Make sure you use your sorry ass nukes. Make sure you make the Chinese get very upset and try to somehow make the Russians go along with you. We need a full thermonuclear war quickly to get rid of ourselves and save the planet. We suck too much. Save us, Kim.

It was meant to support me and 20 of my closest friends, all of which are coincidentally, female and hot. ![]() As I said it is not an easy problem to deal with. The best way is to not only support contraception, but advocate it (which will take the cooperation of lots of religious organizations), distribute it freely (not just condoms, but the pill) and also fully support abortion rights. Other than that there isn't much we can do that isn't drastic, except wait for nature to take her course. |

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I find it slightly curious that limiting the human population is the first measure you talk about.

From a certain point of view, it can be a good idea, but only on a long term, at least one generation. And waiting 20 or 30 years for limiting the number of drivers, gas users, factory operators... and, therefore, the amount of CO² produced... Well, good luck! If we're looking for a "quick" solution (if there's a quick solution... ![]() And I'm not sure it could be done in a dozen years. |

As I said, we're doing all of this now. The birth rate in 2011 for the United States was an all-time low.

"Blame television"? Why not... but it sounds a bit harsh. ![]() And if people start using trains rather than individual cars, leading to the (probable) disappearance of trafic jams and/or fogs, could we blame video games like Train Simulator 2013? ![]() |

Thanks. I was beginning to think I was crazy or something for thinking this. |

Well... sort-of. You certainly can't stop global warming that way, unfortunately. |

A couple million people will have to die, probably in the US, for our lawmakers to finally think the human toll is outweighing the hit to industry that CO2 limits will incur. Then it will be a bit too late, of course.

You don't hear too much about this, but UN Agenda 21 which was kicked off in 1992, is a programme of structured sustainable development, implemented locally at the national level.
UN Agenda 21 - Wiki It is however non binding, and rather vague overall, unless the plan is to enforce this initiative at some point. I don't know how they would do that in the face of mass opposition. Edited by Blacksword - May 15 2013 at 09:52 |

Huh, couldn't we rather, like, promote contraception, instead of mass murder (if I understood the idea of this post)? ![]() Or, even better, to shut down factories, no matter how high the rate of unemployment would rise? |

What he means is it will take some natural catastrophe that kills millions of people before the government will enact any legislation that affects how industry can limit CO2 emissions. Edited by Dean - May 15 2013 at 11:31 |

Blame my lack of comprehension of the English grammar (but such an extremist idea coming from stonebeard would have surprised me!) Fun fact: yesterday, the French-German TV channel Arte broadcasted two documentaries about the false "green energies". Question: am I the only one to think that describing biomass/biofuel as a renewable energy is most stupid and nonsensical? |
