I love the way some of you righteous blowhards need to attack Tim G for his opinion.
I disagree but respect many of his comments on this topic. In some cases trendy leftist jack asses have joined a debate they do not understand. David Suzuki and Al Gore have been caught spewing crap.
I believe human activity including the use of plastics, certain chemicals, mass forest burnings, have contributed to permanent global environmental damage. The disaster in Japan alone and the nuclear radiation it pours into the oceans and coal burning absolutely has caused environmental changes. To pretend we did not damage the ozone layer is just stupid. That said arguing that we need to amend and reform our practices to find better ways not to damage the fragile planet as a key to our survival is a  no brainer. Why someone would try to compare it in priority to terrorism I do not know. Whether its a politician, trendy lefist, Trudeau, Trump, hemmeroids, they all are a pain in the ass.

"Disagree but respect" and then go on to agree with regard to environmental damage caused by burning fossil fuels. Sounds like you have an internal conflict.

Tim's ideas aside, one taxi company over there switched to Teslas buying something like 167 of them back in 2014. Now they want to update their fleet to the newest model Teslas and so have a number of the older ones for sale. Now that's a ways to go to buy a used car but I bet if you were willing to pay a littel extra, Ellon Musk would arrange to have it launched into space and it would then set down at your local airport. ;)

No but it sounds like you are projecting one on me. The fact I agree with some of what Tim G says and disagree with some of what he says does not give me any internal conflict. The only internal conflict I have is with my prostate.

Fair enough. I trust you have consulted your physician.

Thank you for your concern Omni. You ask me we no.1 need to stop the use of plastics as we now use them in consumer items and get back to glass and other recyclables. Coal burning in India and China. Dependence on fossil fuels, antiquated farming practices,use of the oceans to dump nuclear waste, fishing practices, you and I and most agree such issues are real.. Focusing on such issues, in discussions is crucial.

 
I think getting into a semantical what causes the world to warm  or why I do not think cap and trade will help manage such issues with you, will deflect from environmental pollution and human practices that harm the planet...which we do not debate. You and I do not deny that...we can not afford to for the sake of the next generations. Obviously there are no easy answers. I have zero confidence in China, Japan,Russia or the US at this time in addressing these issues.

I have read that China is phasing out fossil fuels.

This graph seems to support that.
