Environment - May 2007

God gave man dominion and so on. Therefore there is a split between humanity and nature. So we don't respect nature as we should. Also, church opposition to population control has led to over-population which also feeds into global warming. And according to Weber, capitalism (with its growth-maximizing tendencies) is strongly influenced by the Calvinist doctrine of predestination (i.e. if you're not rich, God doesn't like you).

So is it all due to the Bible?

This week it was announced that Melbourne Victoria Australia had its driest year (as in the last 365 days in a row) on record. What about where you live elsewhere in the world? (excluding south eastern Australia which we know is in the same dire straits as Melbourne and most other towns in Victoria).

I think it's stupid to think that corn will save us. Not only do we have to worry about drought and disease to kill the crops, but the vehicles will get 20% less fuel economy with this fuel. It's a bad idea. Write your congressman at congress.org and tell them to think for once. Fuel cells are the best choice.

Who Killed The Electric Car?
Copyright © 2006 Sony Pictures Classics

It was among the fastest, most efficient production cars ever built. It ran on electricity, produced no emissions and catapulted American technology to the forefront of the automotive industry. The lucky few who drove it never wanted to give it up. So why did General Motors crush its fleet of EV1 electric vehicles in the Arizona desert?

Is there possibly any alternative to the electric cars to solve our problem of pollution?

Most of the arguments I see on here about how we shouldn't worry about global warming fall into four categories. The writers:

1) get the facts wrong
2) launch ad hominem attacks on Al Gore and others
3) claim global warming is a conspiracy
4) quote "scientists" who are awash in money from oil and coal companies

Check this out: http://gristmill.grist.org/skeptics.

Seriously, people, look up the facts and listen to the thousands of climate scientists out there. We don't have to do anything radical, we just have to live smarter. Your grandkids will thank you.

It seems that a lot of people here think that global warming was invented by Al Gore. You know that this issue has been around for a lot longer than that don't you?
