The corrupt profit system we live in allows nothing to be ''sustainable''.

Global Sustainability requires the intelligent distribution of the earth resources which we have in abundance. More than enough to cater for the near 7 billion people on the planet.

Global Warming is not an issue, there is a natural climate change. Pollution of the planet is a real problem though. It is not our fault though, it is big government backed corporations that have policy which states, ''To maximize profit regardless of social or environmental cost''.

Clean cheap abundant energy already exists but corruption in the Oil industry will never allow it happen along with the illusion of cost. Wind, Solar, Tidal, Wave, Geothermal could all power the world forever.

There are very simple solutions to the problems of the world if people would just think ethically.

Interesting. I find it difficult to consider the facts when so many political factions post info on their websites. A close friend is a chemical engineer and has done a great deal of reading on the subject and believes there is anything but consensus. His take is that it is way more complicated than the scientific community knows. Isn't it amazing how some people call it a fact? I don't know of anything scientific that was not a fact one day and fiction the next. It's consistent in science. I believe we should act in a responsible manner to keep our planet clean because it's the right thing to do. No one is for pollution, and I think many people have become more aware of chemicals, etc that are simply harmful. Al Gore does not know more than any scientist, and he is making money from it. If he were a Republican, every liberal on here would blast him as a profiteer, so that is a reason it be skeptical. We'll see. The most important issue is oil dependency. We are enriching our enemy, and we need to become self sufficient.

THAT right there is the truth of the matter.
In other words let's see how much the sheeple will actually believe.


The stuff about decreasing human numbers and this quote :
"Global Sustainability requires the deliberate quest of poverty, reduced resource consumption and set levels of mortality control.” - Professor Maurice King

Are some scary/crazy things and anyone defending these quotes needs their head examined.

Being environmentally conscious is a noble thing that everyone should look to being, Dumping garbage into the ocean, clear cutting forests, dumping toxins into rivers and streams etc. is harmful to the environment and morally reprehensible. Putting on a/c in 90 degree heat, driving an SUV because you have 3 kids, eating red meat and using plastic bags for grocery shopping isn't, yet we as a society are punishing those for just trying to live their lives. This madness has got to stop.

I've said it all along the agenda of the climatologists/environmentalists and those who subscribe to their theories isn't about stopping global warming, its about spreading socialist and liberal policies throughout the world. A few of those quotes prove me correct. Unfortunately, this comes at the expense of recessionary economic growth, a halt in innovation & exploration and general political instability. They are no better than the abusers of the environment mentioned in the beginning.

Sadly, Most of them still wont believe they're being conned by the Global Warming/Climate Change Alarmists...

They're all pretty scary quotes, but the ones about reducing the population by 90-95% are the most frightening.
