- cyberdork, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Hmm, that's completely not true. Remember the banning of flour carbon emission in the 80s? Well it's working, the ozone hole is expected to be completely closed by 2050! It's a long term process, that's why the ozone hole is at a record size today, because right now we see the effect of the flour carbon gasses which were put in the atmosphere before the ban.

Guess you guys don't have kids? - friedclyde, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2thats cause ur a fuking retard who doesnt care about the future of this planet nor your kids.......
- donte, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I suppose that "spend your time finding proof that any climate change is caused by humans and not by earth's naturally changing environment (after all we did get out of an ice age about 10,000 years ago and I'm pretty sure that wasn't caused by greenhouse gases)" isn't quite the answer you're looking for. If you're busy looking for proof rather than attention-grabbing headlines, you're less apt to spend time using those things that completely destroy our environment.
I should complain about seeing another global warming article on digg, but it's a nice distraction from the linux versus osx versus windows arguments.
I know, flamebait, whatever. I'm just sick of watching a bunch of junk science articles making it to the front page of digg, that's all. - Scottamus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"flour carbon emission"
ROFL
Is this the ban on burning toast?
j/k
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorofluorocarbon - Scottamus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1My goal beyond the normal ones you hear everyday is to create an organic fruit and vegetable garden in my backyard. This will cut out the pollution needed to fertilize, spray pesticides on, harvest, and ship the produce I consume. Also by composting whatever I can, I'm reducing pollution from transporting such materials to landfills. also I'm creating more carbon absorbing biomass in my backyard and reducing the amount of grass I have to mow.
In addition, I have the personal benefit of healthier, fresher, better tasting, and cheaper produce available right at my back door. - Buelldozer, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3I'm going to light a cigarette and do looong smokey burnouts on my motorcycle. When I'm done with that I'm going to fire up the SUV and drive aimlessesly around town with the AC on and the windows rolled down.
- magicjava, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Snuck into that article is an admission that under the Kyoto accord, the EU's burning of coal has actually increased.
- arpad, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3I plan to dry no more then one pair of socks at a time and leave the dome light on in my car whether I need it or not. I intend to eat high on the food chain, build bonfires for no reason out of wood from over-logged tropical trees. I plan to eat a critically-endangered-species burger.
- donte, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Nope... just a sense of humor.
