I think Envirofundamentalists have finally stumbled upon a good definition of what is happening with our climate, by changing their nomenclature from "global warming" to "climate chaos".

Global warming implied that mankind was responsible for climate change, which is an impossibility. It is scientifically impossible to prove with accurate, reproducable results, which is a fundamental necessity of scientific theory, so it is entirely based on supposition and blind "faith" (even if there is a "consensus" of blind faith). And it goes directly against the scientific record of global warming cycles, that anyone can investigate using tree ring evidence that goes back for centuries and accurately measures global cooling and warming cycles.

Meanwhile, "climate chaos" by definition means something without organization or order, and that necessarilly means something that cannot be controlled nor influenced. In other words, they accept that man has nothing to do with it.

It is nature.

and the Changes that our atmosphere underwent in the process? In a nut shell: The earth started off in a state of global warming with a toxic atmosphere; then through the process of photosynthesis the atmosphere was filtered and the structures of animal life evolved organs to breath and live in clean air. The earth at that point had become a carbon sink. Now through industrialisation and deforestation we are returning the earth once again into a carbon source. With our glut for cheap fossel fuels we are slowly returning the athmosphere into its primordial state with all the progressive repercussions in climate change etc.... In Just two hundred and fifty years since the industrial revolution we notice significant changes. Doesnt this tell us anything?

it needs a radical change of life style and a seachange in the way we do science and technology and the way our cities are constructed not to mention the reduction of the astronomical use of air travel. Is the average person today ready to make these radical changes within such a short time? Will politicians change their spots and bring about measures that curtail much of our western throw away consumerism and libertine lifestyles encouraged by the Gaming and entertainment industries ? Where are we?

If we all love earth and the life on it why are we ruining it. I'm 16 and I'm trying to get a better recycling group going at my school, people are throwing away garbage cans full of paper and plastic bottles a day in our 700 person school. Think about that 200 or so days of school each year, that is tons of pounds of recyclables that are being thrown in to landfills. I've gotten permission from my principle to post flyers and put a message in our school bulletin. I need exciting ideas to get all the kids I can to help me. I want to get all the schools possible to recycle everything possible, all the schools in my county, then all in my state, and eventually all in the U.S. I'm tired of waiting for an "adult" to get it going. If you have any way to help, even if it is just posting an answer or passing on the idea to someone else please help. I'm going to keep posting these ideas until I get results. And if no one helps I'll do it myself.

With the overwhelming evidence of global warming, there remains many out there for whatever reason, be it uninformed, selfishness, or whatever reason, who refuse to accept the fact that the earth is warming thereby threatening the ecosystems and global economy of the planet. Sooner or later they are going to have to fall in line and live greener.
How do you think this will be done?

I’m going to condense this writing and let you fill in the gaps. Late in the movie Al Gore produced, he states that the world has 6 billion people and will eventually level off at 9 billion. Why not stem the growth now? He says that global warming is man made; weather it is or not doesn’t matter. Let’s forget global warming and focus on the real problem of population. We as the people of earth should maybe consider pushing the idea of replacing our selves, one person one child and no more, a married couple would have two children.

Everything that is manufactured is based on creature comforts. People think I’m nuts when I say creature comforts but figure it out. Power plants make electrical energy to support homes with lights, heat, cooking, washing, T.V. computers and the list goes on. Over fifty percent of all power produced in this country comes fossil fuel (Coal). All manufacturing requires electrical power to produce products like cars, T.V. building materials, soap, steel, copper on and on. We are the purchasers of these products; they are made for us so we will be more comfortable. Even food is a creature comfort. If you don’t think so try going without and see how comfortable you are. This is just one example; so use your mind and go beyond what I write.

Some people blame religion for the over population and I’m sure they contribute because of their attitude on birth control. Let’s get to those that benefit by the population growth, those that would want population growth and depend on it. Business and industry need more people to buy their products, so that they might become bigger and bigger, after all the stock holders want more dividends. Muslims are a problem they are polygamists so let’s let Big Al work with them. He’s been selling global warming, if he can do that he could cool down those polygamists.

Now, I’ve laid the ground work. What would happen if we started a downward spiral in the population? Would people become more important and valuable as workers? Would we need less government cronies, would they have to get a real job? The government would yell that they need more money for more roads, but what do we need more roads for with less people. The environment wouldn’t suffer because with less people there would be less traffic in the wilderness. A lot less fossil fuel would be needed (coal). It would be a slow process getting it all back to what the world once was. Is this a better idea than Al’s and the environmentalist’s idea to shut down the world so the flowers can grow? What good are the flowers if there isn’t anyone to enjoy them? I’m going to leave all the rest of my thoughts to you. Let’s hear what you think.
