Ok. Since you're not willing to quantify anything at all, which I take to mean you really haven't thought through the entire argument, let me do a little work for you.

I'm not having children.
This means I'm not having the average 2 kids (in the US, mileage may vary in other countries), and they are not having the average 2 kids each, etc etc.
This means that within the span of 50 years, I have already voluntarily removed the generation of waste and consumption of resources of 6 WESTERN people (important to emphasize, as we consume more here than pretty much anywhere).
That's 6 people's worth of gas consumption (lifetime) saved.
That's the clean water consumption of 6 people. Saved.
That's the energy consumption, air conditioning, beef consumption. Saved.

I've already done more for the rest of the people on this planet than 99% of the population, simply by not breeding.
But that's not enough for you? I'm supposed to also say I care? I have a news flash for you... I WON'T BE THERE. Do you care if the fat guy in a room is gonna fart after you've left? no. In fact,if you're particularly devious you may feed him burritos before you leave. (hey drafter, want a burrito?)

I don't know what your obsession with "caring" is. It doesn't actually accomplish anything. [/quote]
Don't worry victor...I have 4 kids, I did my part to make up for your lack of having any [sarcasm]

The British are non-human. Just look at their teeth.

Huh.... then I think you owe me some child-carbon credits or something...

Good thing I accept payment in cigars. 🙂

With all the news services and governments now saying that global warming is real and that hand I was just wondering how many people have changed their mind about this being man made.

Or is the Nile still deep?

Who cares? We've been thrashing the environment for years like a midshipman on shore leave in Phuket Thailand. I think we at least need to quit being bad stewards of the earth. If it is just a natural cycle then what is the harm? After all, the earth will be here long after we are all dust (and the earth doesn't care). 🌫

Why does the US Navy treat Thailand so poorly? I thought they were a global force for good.

Whoa whoa whoa, big feller.

You're looking for a credit? Because you won't have offspring to usurp resources?
Big whoop.

You also won't have kids, grand kids nor great (to the nth) grand kids to help PAY for the mess we're digging ourselves into today.

If anything, you OWE us.

Because eventually the world will invent reliable and affordable renewable energy. But we'll never pay our way out of this debt.

Thailand?
I thought Obama's tsunami machine took care of them already.

Thank you tail. The idea that your children/grandchildren and great-grandchildren have essentially been sold into future slavery for my personal enjoyment of life today really brightened my day.

That's gonna keep me cheerful for the rest of the day.

No mind change. Global warming is real and man made. We see 1 of the effects almost daily, extreme weather conditions. Also just look at the reduced ice caps.

Drafter, the emperical data is there. The question is do you think this is global warming related or a cyclical pattern.
