I'm curious Tail, whether you follow your Dr's advice on things like eating healthy and exercising...
Because all of your questions could easily be applied to that situation.

1. What percentage of my life-span will be due to my diet/exercise vs my genetics?
2. What percentage of that is specifically from eating McDonalds?
3. If I stopped eating McDonalds yesterday, how long would I live?

Yet I'm gonna bet that you take a Dr's recommendation that you eat healthier, exercise more with some greater amount of seriousness. You may even listen to them, despite the fact that eating healthier is more expensive, and exercising takes time which could be used to earn money.

The point, in case you missed it, is that answering those questions isn't actually necessary to show an understanding of the causality between two factors. It certainly would help in quantifying, but isn't necessary to at least know what direction to head. And while just like in environmental discussion, there is the health nut who thinks quinuoa shakes and 5 hours of exercise daily is going to make him live forever, you also don't want to be the idiot who eats 1lb of bacon daily in front of the couch and is surprised when he dies of a coronary at 50.

I am not disagreeing with you because there is some truth in what you are saying (as an elitist who knows more than anyone else) but let's look at the ENTIRE picture. Please keep in mind that I am NOT saying that it would not be a good thing to lessen our carbon footprint. The truth of the matter is that the Earth has been, in the past, much warmer than it is today for long periods of time. For millions of years there were no polar ice caps. During the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous eras, Earth was much warmer than it is today. This, even though the Sun was much smaller than it is today (too involved to get into a discussion of this phenomenon now.) On the other hand, there were two and possibly three (3) "Snowball" Earths in our planet's history. These were periods when the entire Earth was covered in a snowcap. There were also a few "Ice-Ages." There was a "mini" ice age during the Revolutionary War when we went through one of the most severe winters ever recorded. On top of all this, if we discontinued all human activity, which seems to be the objective of a lot of the global warming people, there wouldn't be any appreciable difference in global temperatures for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. When people start tinkering with something they don't fully understand, disaster can (and probably will) be the result. What I am suggesting is that, in addition to human activity, there may be other factors in play that scientists have not accounted for. I am with you on lowering our carbon footprint, but not at the price of reducing us to living in caves and munching on twigs and bark to accomplish that end. [frypan] ]

Ummm.... who exactly are these "global warming nazis"? This sounds like one of your vague conspiracy groups. Your whole "not certain we even created let alone our ability to do anything about it" excuse is just simply weak minded bull-sh$t.

We didn't create polio, and when it first came out I'm betting there were weak people like you saying "but we're not certain we can cure it!"... someone ponied up enough cash, and someone smarter than you found a vaccine. There are millions of examples of hurdles our species has faced, which we did not create, but which could have a seriously negative impact on us. If people like you were in charge, we would have died off hundreds of years ago.

YOU want to toss about " someone smarter than me " look Vicky I know that those people exist....I don't try to sound like or PRETEND to be the smartest fella, so your thinking this might upset me.....You'd be wrong!!
But please tell me what makes me WEAK to expect PROOF that WE are causing long term harm to our planet?? When super smart F*ckers like you can PROVE IT BEYOND ANY DOUBT....maybe we can discuss it further. Dude if we let people like you run things.....we'd be eaten up with STD's that had no cure. And BTW I'll give you credit on being knowledgeable about " weak mindedness " and " Bull**** " Now why don't you use all that brainsmarts and go find your next homeless person to **** over....

You can be right by saying we simply don't know, but wrong to think that there is a significant chance it won't be a negative result (for those of us in 1st world countries).

Science says it's so. The puppets of the Koch conspiracy say it's not. It's facts against opinion and I always go with the facts rather than with those that deny them.

It's the 20 year cycle.
Only the Fog's know this. It's been economic propaganda since after the Second World War.

Aliens will come before this planet burns off.

We will realize that this planet needs it's oil like a big block needs oil. And we will start pumping mobile 1 back in between the tectonic plates.

Unicorns will come back. Samsqaunch will have his own talk show. The Illuminati will kill themselves off,

War will be oh-hum. People will start singing in the streets.

It'll be alright.

Go to work, love your family and neighbors, enjoy your productive retirement, and tell folks your life story.

The Band, The Weight breakout plays in the background.



Wth was I saying!!?!

Oh yeah...... Be sure to drink your ovaltine
