Every single post I make, there you are stalking!!!

Infatuation......

Every post I make, you post the same four lines. That's typical for
someone your age, I guess. Since I don't respond to all, or half, or
25%, or your posts, where do you get this stalking crap?


BWAAAHAAAAA!!!!!! Every single post I made yesterday there you were.
Day before? Every post except one........

"BWAAAHAAAAA!!!!!!"? And you flamed someone for posting "LOL?" You are
one screwed up boy.

And if you monitored posts as close as you have for the last two days
you would see that you are a liar. A POS liar who accused me of
responding to every post you make for the last two weeks.

Ready to back off?

I didn't think so...BS will follow.....

Yes, I know you'll follow with more BS. Thanks for the warning, though.

Yep....every post I make, proof above.
Infatuation.......

Again, this shows your lack of credibility. Instantly resorting to
childish and petty insults shows your true character.

You finally made an excellent point! Engineers make far less money

Uh, sure, okay, Dan.......we believe you......although people that

Who is "we"? Can't you speak for yourself and not lean on Don and the
rest of your little support group for backup?

"All" of you should believe me. It's a fact. Go back to school and you
might be able to do better if you try REALLY hard!

Damn, can't quite get a grasp on the English language, can you?

But, you're still certainly showing your character, or lack of.
Childish name calling IS your specialty, huh?

transported food, buys nothing made of plastic or imported from a

That's an interesting view. According to you, one has to have a
completely clean record to be able to expect anything from others.

Personally I think one can set an example with any little action - it
may not be much but already that gains some high ground - then one can
say, OK I gave up my SUV but you still have yours and continue to
endanger our common environment, how come? Of course, the more you give
up the more leverage you have... It looks like the carbon trading
scheme is based on a similar frame of mind: give up a little (money or
carbon credits), gain a little, give up a lot and gain a lot.

There are few people who actually demand that we go to zero carbon
emissions. That might result in a good and enjoyable life style, but,
you're going to have a bit of a work to convince modern people about
that, and hopefully, it's not really necessary in anyway, or at least
it looks like that in the face of current knowledge.

It's a tradeoff of risk, cost and values. You can pay a bit now and
avoid most of the risk, provided that you have worked through the
political inertia of creating a system of effective payments. Or you
can wait and lose much more money later on, besides natural values that
can be hard to estimate financially. (How much does it cost to replace
an extinct species?) Even with a consensus on a human-induced global
warming, it is very difficult to tell how soon and how strong the
effects will come. But in the end, one could view global warming as a
purely economic risk calculation.

There's a chance that we're no more than a generation or two from the
next Dark Age.
When radiation poisoning, famine, warfare, and disease reduce the
population to a small fraction of what it is today, the survivors will

From the PoV of the ecosystem, we are living in a Dark Age, sometimes
called the holocene extinction event as well. You can read that on
about a half of the global land area the original ecosystem has been
replaced by monoculture, a far cry from biodiversity. Likewise almost a
half of all biomass is either humans or used to feed humans (not sure
if they count the oceans in that though...).

(But if you own a boat, you have no creds in the "global warming"
discussion)

So it's a moral discussion, not a scientific one?

Trading carbon credits is just another way to redistribute wealth.

of a pool leaves everyone at the bottom.
