Hello heliguy,

Do you have to fear the end of the world to better use resources? I would like to think humans can use good old ingenuity to better use resources and just take care of your little part of the world.

But I guess I'm naive ----

You mean the world isn't flat? When I stand at the beach and see ships in the distance get lower and lower isn't that because they have fallen off the edge?

Damn those scientists, the next thing you know they'll be trying to tell us the universe doesn't rotate around the earth and when we get sick little animals are the culprits.

Completely agree

However it is self evident that there will always be selfish people who will take for them selves without regard for others.
Its the reason we need laws/ army's /police forces.

Life would be great if we all cared for our little part of the world.

Edit: Might use that as my signature if you don't mind

At first I thought you were agreeing that I was naive .

Later, mate.

consensus |kənˌsɛnsəs| noun [usu. in sing. ]
general agreement : a consensus of opinion among judges | [as adj. ] a consensus view.


Since the guys in that video are in the very small minority, we do, in fact have scientific consensus.

I was referring to statement that some of the names on the list of consensus should not be there, so if we can't trust the list to be genuine how can we believe there is consensus.
I don't think it matters anyway, I still believe we should take better care of our planet. "waste not want not" and all that

Now that's scary Mark.

I feel sorry for anyone who would be my twin ---- that's a lot of crap to deal with.
There's only room for one knucklehead like me.
