This is what I have BEEN saying!!!!!

If I had the means to get a polar bear rug or mount I would have one here tomorrow.

The chicken little alarmists tend to overreact, the earth is very dynamic and has been ever changing for billions of years - either humans will adapt and overcome or simply become extinct and make room for another species that can survive.

Just like Africa where it may have been the evolutionary breeding ground for humans 200,000 years ago, it can no longer sustain the indigenous people as they did not evolve with the changes. The only reason people are still living there is because of mans intervention of dropping billions of pounds of rice there.

You have a glimmer of truth here, but miss the mark entirely.

True, species must adapt to changes in the environment. But evolution is creepingly slow, and if changes happen rapidly enough, those species die out. The problem with the current changes is not so much that they are happening, but that they are happening at a pace far too rapid for species to adapt before they are killed off.

And you are also correct that we humans are subject to the same laws as our fellow species on the planet. We aren't likely to adapt quickly enough, either. And that can only lead to one place...

Spot on again Buster in both your postings. Polar bears are dying because the areas they inhabit are turning to water from that non-existent global warming. They use all their winter fat reserves swimming around trying to find prey to eat.

Of course we are crazy because look at how cold the winter was last year. What you said about man being like an armadillo is very correct. Have you ever been to Texas? They have armadillos all over the place. At any rate the same thing is happening with oil. We know we have a limited supply and that what is left is harder and harder to get to and will require destroying our environment just to get it out of the ground.

I feel really bad for our children. The last few generations have done a really bad job of taking care of Mother Earth. I hope the upcoming generations will do something about it and quit turning a blind eye to the problem in the name of greed and wealth.

problem is each generation thinks the next will handle all problems lol

the last generation will get a big surprise

The thing is that it just keeps getting pushed off. As things get worse people will move to better places of they can. Others will just adapt. In 100 years you could see people wearing protective clothing and breathing apparatus when they go outside. Nothing changes until it absolutely has too.

no things change before "they have to" I believe

it is the scope of the problem and the millions of people involved to change the problem that halts the progress to fix the "big" problem


small great changes happen everyday like more recycling and less landfill use, but try to get every person in the world to recycle, it isn't happening

some people opt for public transit and leave their cars home or ride bikes if locations says they can, but many drive everywhere and anywhere without a thought about oil etc so again, can ya get millions on board to change the problems, probably not

many people do a small part, but it takes millions doing that part to truly help

(you know what I mean lol)

That pretty much sums it up and will go one step further - no things will change period, not with 7 billion idiots in control.

Also we are all so quick to blame the billionaires and the megalomaniac corporations, but how did they get that big? yep, it was because all of us little people who wanted what they sell for as cheap as possible - now until we all move back into a cave and start wiping our butts with rocks - shut-up about it ...

This statement is 100% true, anybody who argues against it is wrong and by definition of logic is on my side - thanks for your support. I also don't condone recycling as I need those plastic parts to fix my double-wide and the grocery bags makes a fine trot line.

P.S. It is also my belief that because of the over population of polar bears that I can no longer get a blubber fried baby seal sandwich at Burger King anymore as the bears just gobble them up - anybody remember the "whaler" sandwich?

Thanks for illustrating my point so perfectly.

I get cynical like that too. There are more and more people trying to do the right thing though. We'll never get the political hacks to do the right thing. It's up to us.
