Alright, you are correct about that. Every angle must be covered and the "drop everything to save the world" idea is really idealistic. But you can't satisfy everyone either, no matter what. You gotta give some, you gotta take some too.
I'm just wondering, is there a "pushed too far over the edge to be able to save the Earth" stage? How close are we to it do you think? (Not just you, but to everyone else as well) We might have some time still, but I'd rather actions be taken slightly early than slightly too late.
Oh, by the way, I might have been a bit anal about the posts before. Just venting myself a bit.
Well if that was offensive you should see the dolphin slaughter I got by email once. They are herded into a bay somewhere in Japan I think and then hooked out the water and dragged behind trucks along cement in some case to the processing plant nearby to be cut up alive. I am not joking. I am not a greeny or even one who anthropomorphises any animal , dolphins and whales included, but this is barbaric.
The problem with traditional foods in nations such as this is that they are no longer hunted by traditional means. What may have had little impact on the environment (despite the heartless cruelty) only hundred years ago is now a thousand times more potentially threatening. Hunting a whale or dolphin or shark in a canoe for a town of a few hundred does not equal harvesting thousands at a time by ship for millions.

Yeah, I've seen parts of it on a PBS documentary. The water was literally red from all the blood shed. It's sad seeing creatures like these go. Zoos may not be the best answer to the problem but if it keeps going on like this it'll be the only place we'll see them.

The fact that we're having the coldest winter and spring I can remember coupled with it snowing on Al Gore and Cheryl Crow's Global Warming awareness concert in Dallas, in APRIL. (one of like 4 times in history or something like that) make me chuckle a bit, yes.
I think we need to lower our impact on the earth, but not under the false pretense of Global Warming, and not necessarily by getting rid of cars, since the earth itself produces 30x as much CO2 as humans do. Things like polluting water and littering, careless waste of paper and things like that need to be checked but global warming still seems a bit silly.
He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
In that palace in the sun
On the shore lay Montezuma
With his cocoa leaves and pearls
