That is my point. It happened (i.e.- climate change) before the advent of man made smog production.

yes and at one point the earth was as hot as the sun and had no atmosphere. So what's your point?

I told you, it's controlled by that giant burning thing in the sky.

Now, everybody, let's join in a circle hold hands and sway side to side in unison with a nice stanza of 'Kumbaya'. Gangstuz.

Oh well, no point I suppose.


So, what you are saying, is that by global warming, we are simply returning to Earth's original, natural condition: hot as the sun, and no atmosphere, so we shouldn't worry.....

Relieving you of money is the only the reason behind the climate change blame game.

I tell you, that is so wonderful of them to relieve us of such a burden as that, they are so wonderful, doesn't it just kind of get you all choked up thinking of how selflessly that they look after us poor little trolls. My my, yes indeed they are our heaven sent guardian angels. What in the world would we ever do without them? I just know that they are planning some kind of virtual Utopia for all of us, where we will all be free and prosperous.

I'm going to hijack my own thread.

Carbon offsets are perhaps the biggest con in recent times. We have a problem with output and consumption, so what do we do? Do we reduce our consumption so tackling the root cause? No fear! Or do we create some trumped-up quasi-economic system of paying money to assuage our own guilt about how much bloody unnecessary consumption we perpetuate in our throwaway society?

Pay a little cash and you can [1] feel good about 'doing something', [2] not compromise your lifestyle one bit, [3] point to this hugely pointless scheme which is failing in its mission and then somehow equate it with the idea that climate change by man is therefore bogus.

Damn, I hate carbon offset schemes!
