« on: August 30, 2007, 03:37:47 PM »
if it`s finally proven completely false.
does this mean we should stop recycling?
can i finally dump motor oil in my property(like they do in texas)
should all anti-polution laws be ignored?

It can't be proven false; it's a verified fact.

What has yet to be proven is that humans are a major contributor. Right now, my money is on the Sun being the principle cause of global warming. Especially since we're seeing global warming effects on other planets...

despite that
their is a trend to believe it`s false
so my question is does this mean we can dump in the ocean or not?

By whom??      ???   I'm on record as indicating my belief that we're in a current global warming trend/phase.  Who would you be referring to as believing global warming is false, Kimba?

I`ve said this before
let me go on record -I don`t care if global warming is true or not
we still should clean up our own mess.
there  is no exuse for leaving garbage on the floor.

Say "no" to what, specifically?  "Global Warming", or that man is the cause of global warming?  The former is pretty much yes, the latter is what's arguably no.


but my question is still ,do we recycle even though found false?

Nothing wrong with recycling.  Just don't mandate it based on an unproven concept

I don't see what recycling and or proper handling of illicit discharges (including old oil from oil changes) has to do with the global warming controversy. They are separate issues.

Going green will eventually be an issue co-opted by conservatives, for a couple of reasons, there is money to be made in green technology and they will do a better job of selling the benefits of usiing renewable or energy effiicient resources. Not more  hairshirt guilt laden sales pitches to the masses. There will be movements to get off the grid and become enrgy independent, one person at a time.

I agree
but as a person who has seen good intentions go bad(MTBE)
we need oversight to ensure we`re not digging a biggerhole
ex. why is corn the only solution for deisel or ethenol fuel.
I like what one farmer said about the rising food price
where do you think all that corn for diesel come from.
of course food prices will go up.

There may need to be more easy ways to do the right thing.

Scrap Glass and paper is too cheap to collect for the money now , iron is little better , so you see scrap made of this stuff pileing up in illeagal dumps.

Roofing materiel , plastic bags , batterys are worse than worthless.

If industry can find valuable materiels in these sorts of junk they cease being a problem and start being a resorce.
