Thank you! Global temperature changes have been part of the world for a long, long time. Whatever part we play in that is not really all as significant as most people believe. As far as people saying dumb stuff like "we need 50 more katrinas" and such.....do you honestly believe humans are the least important creature on this earth?
As far as people talking about out fossil fuel consumption....the majority of alternate fuels, like biodeisel or "vegideisel" as somebody called it, use fossil fuels to be produced. Enough so to be prohibitive as a fuel that can be taken seriously. Not to mention, yes, it's cheap now. About $1.50 cheaper AFTER the government tax inscentive to use it. How about if the other 99.7% of the people on earth started using it? Not only would the price be right back where we are, or higher, but we'd have to stop growing all food to produce enough veggies to use it and we'd use nearly as much fossil fuels as we use now producing it. We couldn't grow enough crop to power the US.
By the way, as long as you keep planning on powering your fish tank (and the rest of your house) with electricity, keep in mind how much fossil fuel you're using and the amount of pollution being produced with it. Everybody is big on talk, until it's time to go back to the 16th century.
I agree it's good to be concientious, but some people take it to a ludicrous extreme (in theory only of course) without considering what it would really mean to eliminate the human elment from the problems they are discussing.
If you power your house with electricity, unless you happen to own a windmill, and unless you don't use ANY synthetics, in clothing or anywhere else.....you have no right pointing at the "dumb people who use fossil fuels and pollute without any concern for nature".....because you are one of them.
For now, the world is dependant on fossil fuel, and will be until a VIABLE alternative is discovered. In the meanwhile, the difference between driving a moped and an SUV is a pretty small one in every regard but it's toll on your wallet.
