global warming is a much more complex phenomenon than most people give it credit for. if you limit your sources to scientific journals that are ecology-specific and sans political agenda the information is quite different from the run of the mill information. odds on, it seems that the majority of the damage done that is the cause of future global catastrophes of the future, reached that point quite some time ago. regardless of how much we change our ways or not, there's no way to fix most of the damage inflicted previous to 1985. overpopulation is an enormous problem and is the essential cause, i agree. what cracks me up is that every average joe on the street seems to be a self-proclaimed expert on global warming while the actual experts agree that even they do not understand historical global weather patterns, and do not know what the outcome will be- yet most agree that most likely the massive excess leading to waste and pollution shall lead to our species eventual end.

isn't it every american's right to destroy the planet in exchange for gestures of power that end in a short-lived empty joy?

i must sound like an unpleasant person. i typically avoid talking about this stuff. its depressing and i'm usually either preaching to the choir or to a brick wall. i like to leave the preaching to people who enjoy it, generally. i just want to do things my way and i can feel good about my way so long as it isn't excessive or unnecessarily obstructive to other living things. some of my lifestyle still needs a lot of work to match my standards, so i can't very well tell anyone how they ought to live. but i can think quietly to myself about how i wish everyone else would live- and i can write about it on livejournal and ignore dumbass comments.

i respond to you not because i disagree with what you say, but because you are thoughtful and interesting.
