  WTF?

  What happened to good old-fashioned layering of clothes? The lengths people will go to for comfort, using technology, wasting money and resources, when all they need to do is wear long johns, a shirt under a sweater, wool socks, and a hat, is insane.

  Can you imagine the waste stream and the natural resources being wasted, as well as the environmental destruction, if tens of millions of people all bought "heated" clothing?On How to save the planet with heated clothing posted 9 months, 1 week ago 11 Responses

  Here's the problem

  The problem is people don't care. They are too involved in their self-absorbed lives. This same poll anytime before our current me-me-me age would have drastically different results.

  Mankind is so disconnected from nature, and it is highly disturbing. It's easy to say the Earth isn't warming and to not worry about pollution when we are comfortable in our houses and cars and when everything we buy has the pollution and slave labor and ecosystem destruction externalized so that the regular Joe Plumber isn't even aware of it.

  Educate your children. Get them outdoors, for the sake of humanity. Let them appreciate the planet, and don't hide truths from them. It is, I feel, our only hope.On Americans' climate change doubts aren't hard to understand posted 9 months, 2 weeks ago 10 Responses

  O2 is not a greenhouse gas. Nor is it a pollutant.

  CO2 is both. Legally, and as far as common sense dictate.

  As I very simply stated prior, the greenhouse effect contributes to warming. Simple, and verifiably true.On Few Americans are ever likely to see George W. Bush's greatest environmental legacy posted 9 months, 3 weeks ago 7 Responses
