no need to worry anymore!

[Mad Doug Biker]

what growing evidence?

Look out your window.

Climate warming? F**ck all to do with us but all to do with the earth going through a new cycle, that's all. There is nothing we can do about it..

It might be going through its natural cycles, but we are helping to speed it up! Oh and don't even get me started on the whole Solar flares bollox, I mean, that'll peak in 2013, so what are these people going to come up next?

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

I didn't say we have no impact, we have a huge impact on 'our world', just that 'our world' is so small in the grand scheme of things. It could be the undoing of humankind but we are still just a blip.

I know what you were saying, I was just talking about currently.

The Environmentalist Mike Thompson once said, during a lecture, that 'We are not trying to save the planet, we are just trying to save our lifestyles. The planet will do what it needs to do with or without us.'.

I don't want to help save the human race, I just want to help the innocents in all of this. The animals.
Anyway.

Look out your window.

Everything looks ok out of my window. Grey sky but warm. Might even go for a ride this afternoon if I have the time.

Everything looks ok therefore nothing is happening.

What I mean is that if you are to look at things a lot more closely, then you will often see changes (albeit mostly subtle at the moment) with various bits of nature.

Look what the animals (mainly insects and birds) and plants are doing. Nobody has told them about climate change, and yet they are just doing it!

It is all there if you know where to look.

As far as the Earth is concerned, we are not even a relevance. We are barely a blip in terms of life on Earth.

We don't really matter at all in the grand scheme of things.

Except that the Earth isn't concerned. About anything. And we seem to be the only things concerned to imagine that there is a grand scheme of things in which we don't matter. Which is another way of saying that if we don't matter, then nothing else (including the grand scheme of things) matters, because there is nothing to which it matters. So in fact, we matter at least as much as anything else, and arguably we matter more than most things on account of us being the thing to which other things either matter or don't. If you see what I mean.

As far as I'm concerned, our arguments about global warming/pollution/ownership of land etc., are as relevant as fleas arguing over what bit of the dog they own.

I was listening to a science program on the radio yesterday and I must say it got me thinking about the human race
Apparently, continents are still drifting apart and America is moving just one 1 inch away from us every year so that in 250million years all continents will be together again and then start drifting apart again for another 250million years to form new continents,probably totally different from now.
So what about the human race? Well I stopped worrying about pollution and co2 a long time ago as I believe it makes no difference at all. The earth will survive anything we humans do and just carry on until the sun explodes.
The bottom line is that we are only passing through and going through a new beginning every so many million years so who's to say there wasn't another civilisition of us half a million years ago?
That's deep thinking isn't it?
I know all the brains and scientist amongst you will probably think my theory is "simple" and tear me apart but sometimes, simple things just work!

No.

We only have this planet, we can't escape to anywhere else, so how irrelevant can it be?

Can yoou explain that in a simple manner...........



Yes,i'll get my coat.

 

[gary in derby]

I'm not sure about that....there's a group of philosophers that argue that the individual is everything and anything else....other people and the rest of the universe don't really exist. So I'm here, that I know, but I don't think anyone else on this forum really exists

a wise man once said yesterday is history tomorrow is just imagination there is only now.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Whilst another wise man once said 'Don't eat yellow snow'.

Anti-American comments are no less abhorrent than those against any other nation of people. Yes some Americans are idiots, but look around you, this country is not short of them and neither is this forum, or this thread for that matter. I'll bet a penny to a pound that each and every one of you making negative comments about the Yanks is quite happy to use their products and services when it suits you - Levi's, Ford, Trek, Specialized, MacDonalds, Hollywood etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.

Shut the fark up.

Twats.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Sorry oh great global policeman! Really, what I posted was a documentary about a particularly deranged family. They could live anywhere in the world, but, they don't.

 

[TonyEnjoyD]

My thoughts exactly

So the Americans are getting an inch further away every year? Great news!

Ah, but we live on a big ball so it's really either us or the US shrinking.

If the US is moving away from us by an inch in any direction, it's moving an incloser in the opposite direction.
