I can agree with that. I guess what I'm saying is that it's okay not to subscribe to this idea of 'global warming' yet still be an environmentalist. The tone of Steve's post -- "What exactly are you people who are so against the "global warming facists" or "ignorant masses" as you like to call them, afraid of. What is it? You don't want to lose your SUV? You're afraid of some curly light bulbs? What?" -- suggested that not subscribing to this theory means you're against the environment and was accusatory and defensive.]]> http://www.blogto.com/environment/2008/04/earth_day_march_reclaims_the_streets/#c277986 http://www.blogto.com/environment/2008/04/earth_day_march_reclaims_the_streets/#c277986 Toronto, Environment Thu, 24 Apr 2008 09:21:46 PDT http://www.blogto.com/environment/2008/04/earth_day_march_reclaims_the_streets/#c277745 http://www.blogto.com/environment/2008/04/earth_day_march_reclaims_the_streets/#c277745 Toronto, Environment Wed, 23 Apr 2008 10:29:41 PDT is amazingly intelligent If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's most likely a duck.

Global warming isn't the only environmental issue on the table, not by a long shot, but it's the one getting all the attention. I agree that those are other reasons to change, again nobody is saying otherwise, but what you're saying is something along the lines of: We should kill all snakes cause some snakes are poisonous and everyone thinks that killing snakes (at the moment) is a good idea (simpson's reference). At least that's how you're coming across to me. >but it's the one getting all the attention. And some of us choose NOT to be reactionary about it and are still doing our part in being consciense of the situation. From energy to personal consumption and almost everything in between, I'm completely aware of the current state of things and do everything I can to help. If some asshat on a blog tells me I'm probably mad cause I can't drive my SUV or whatever other baseless stereotypical assumptions he was making, he deserved my response. It was not meant as hyberbole, it was literal and not a rhetorical statement. Me, "calling-out" someone b/c they are stereotyping people based on assumptions is not Goodwin's Law, it's simply defamatory and close mindedness and where prejudice starts (hence the hitler statement). Would it be better if I said he was acting like Rob Ford? Would that make it less of Goodwin's Law? Every reaction has an equal or greater reaction. That is a fact. Make baseless assumptions about things and you open yourself up, plain and simple.]]> http://www.blogto.com/environment/2008/04/earth_day_march_reclaims_the_streets/#c277585 http://www.blogto.com/environment/2008/04/earth_day_march_reclaims_the_streets/#c277585 Toronto, Environment Tue, 22 Apr 2008 18:09:10 PDT here.]]> http://www.blogto.com/environment/2008/04/earth_day_march_reclaims_the_streets/#c277570 http://www.blogto.com/environment/2008/04/earth_day_march_reclaims_the_streets/#c277570 Toronto, Environment Tue, 22 Apr 2008 17:19:30 PDT http://www.blogto.com/environment/2008/04/earth_day_march_reclaims_the_streets/#c277566 http://www.blogto.com/environment/2008/04/earth_day_march_reclaims_the_streets/#c277566 Toronto, Environment Tue, 22 Apr 2008 16:58:56 PDT http://www.blogto.com/environment/2008/04/earth_day_march_reclaims_the_streets/#c277476 http://www.blogto.com/environment/2008/04/earth_day_march_reclaims_the_streets/#c277476 Toronto, Environment Tue, 22 Apr 2008 14:54:31 PDT How exactly, is signing the Kyoto Treaty putting all of one's eggs in one basket? >In the meantime, YES consume less, support eco-friendly companies, recycle, hug trees etc etc. >What exactly are you people who are so against the "global warming facists" or "ignorant masses" as you like to call them, afraid of. What is it? Nobody is against it Steve. No one is calling you "global warming fascists" or "ignorant masses". Slow down before you type. > You don't want to lose your SUV? You're afraid of some curly light bulbs? - Don't own an SUV and I'm definately not afraid of losing one. - My entire house is outfitted with 'curly lightbulbs' >What? These aren't Manson-Family kids knocking on your door. And really, when have we had any HONEST discussion about Global Warming without Exxon or GE paying a group of scientists off to call Al Gore an "enviro-nazi"? I believe Dianne was attempting to have an HONEST discussion about global warming. Leave your conspriacy b/s at the door, it's not very honest at all. >And amazing, did we get all the facts before this war? Hardly. So, when it comes to sending your kids off to war, forget the facts...but global warming it, "Whoa, now just a minute, I want all the facts". I'm against the war Steve. It was an example to illustrate a point. Don't take things so literally. I think we should have had all the facts before that too. It IS possible to learn from our mistakes Steve. >I love it when someone is against something they say, "I want ALL the facts". I can tell you cmoking causes cancer, and then you'll find a two-pack a day'er who lived to be 90. I could tell you that being shot will kill you, but you can find someone who survived that too. So, what facts would you like? Melting glaciers not enough? The shrinking ice-cap doesn't bother you? "No, no, I want ALL the facts, I want the sea at my ankles and acid rain eating away at my skin. I don't wanna put all my eggs in one basket". I got news for ya' , all of your eggs are in one basket, unless you can live on Mars. Which scientist will stand up and say, "Yes, it's real" before you finally believe it? Breathe Steve, Breathe. We're just trying to have an honest conversation over here about Global Warming. It's okay that other people have a different opinion than you, but that hardly qualifies your assinine statements of baseless assumptions on how 'we all are'. Starting to sound a little Hitler'ish Steve.]]> http://www.blogto.com/environment/2008/04/earth_day_march_reclaims_the_streets/#c277472 http://www.blogto.com/environment/2008/04/earth_day_march_reclaims_the_streets/#c277472 Toronto, Environment Tue, 22 Apr 2008 14:37:12 PDT http://www.blogto.com/environment/2008/04/earth_day_march_reclaims_the_streets/#c277468 http://www.blogto.com/environment/2008/04/earth_day_march_reclaims_the_streets/#c277468 Toronto, Environment Tue, 22 Apr 2008 13:59:00 PDT And Diane, your attitude isn't winning anyone over. You're bad examples aren't going to win anything over. Acid Rain is real. Pharmaceuticals in fish are real. When I say REAL I mean PROVEN. We haven't even scratched the surface of understanding on our current global climate problem, yet you've made up your mind. This is much scarier to me then someone like Diane saying she'd rather see the facts first then decide if what the politicians and unrelated activists (jobs not bombs?) are saying is true. It's called scientific process, or logic or common sense...
