I think US environmental concerns are spearheaded by the cockroach lobby. Their motto: "Keep it up!"

That would qualify as "eye pollution".

I dont think America is the biggest problem as far as pollution goes.

The problem lies with China and India who are developing at great speed and becoming huge polluters. The speed at which they develop will depend on us setting up business in those countries and buying their products in our own countries. We cant stop them, and have no right to.

Who is going to turn round to India and China and say 'Sorry, I know we've all fuc**d the Earth up over the last 100 years in the name of money, but that courtesy is not extended to you, I'm afraid'

Doesn't work does it...

In the meantime I voted Judgement Day  Sounds like fun! It would be like being in an Arnie film!

One question for those of you with faith: I think I have abided by the ten commandments over the years - apart from all the 'bearing of false witness' to parents, teachers and police - Will my soul go to heaven or hell when the rockets start flying? I'm generally quite nice, I was christened a Catholic, but I've never been to mass or gone to confession.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

The pb is that usa are the richest and the richest don't do efforts to reduce pollution whereas the poorest can't afford to reduce it.

Over the next 20 to 50 years, it will become harder to tell the difference between the human and the machine. All body parts will be replaceable. A computer will function like the human brain with the ability to recognize feelings and respond in a feeling way. They can then produce fake people.We will then be able to create a machine duplicate of ourselves so we will appear to be alive long after we are dead. Maybe a few decades later, a way will be found to transfer our spirit to the new body. Then we can choose to live for as long as we want. It might be expensive. Maybe it will cost you an arm and a leg. (Note: here's another change. We will have to change the language we use. By then, arms and legs will be a pound a dozen.) (Note: by then, pounds will probably be obsolete, and we won't have any idea what the word dozen means.)

Confused

When the oil is gone, so will be life as we know it. It is bullsh*t that we have dependency on countries infested with terrorist orgs. I don't see a reliable source of energy on our horizon. Not a single thing will be as great as gas. Hydrogen or energy from water is too expensive to make; solar power is not efficient enough; wind power (tss..yeah right); nuclear power will just corner us into a situation where we are surrouned by cans of waste that still have 10,000 year half-lives (and which terrorists will use to attack us) We are giving the earth cancer by continuing to burn oil and gas. I don't see us making it to the turn of the century. Our only option is to not use electricity anymore or to make the prisoners of all the world spin generators like slaves. I am not opposed to either at this point. We have no other hope. I think this is the Creator's plan for our end.

Wind power is efficient: they have made huge eolians on the sea in germany.
One of these eolians can feed a 5000 persons town!

You're just uninformed, or too trusting of mistaken popular opinion. All of the alternative energy solutions which you have dismissed are much more viable than you think, and in many cases are already replacing fossil fuels. Hydrogen fuel cells are being built right now with less relative cost than the first automobile...solar power is incredibly efficient, thanks to developments in collecting and storing the power...and several regions all across the planet are using wind power with reliable and impressive results.

You are correct that we're crazy to continue to use petroleum sources; the cost to the health and relative peace of the planet is much too high. Even ignoring this, the actual economic cost of changing over is not even very high, unless you're one of the political and economic oligarchs who depend on petroleum as the lynchpin of their stranglehold on the planet.

Kate Bush warned us, in her song 'Experiment IV' that the military may develop a sound that can kill, even if just by irritating or embarassing us to death, and here they are...
