1. Comment - Google Earth Highlights Destruction

   (Mar 15, 2007 - 9:47 AM)

   Hate to break it to you amg96, but the air belongs to me, and nobody else. I've got rights to it in an exclusive deal with God, and I don't like people destroying my stuff.
   
   Seriously, the air I breathe belongs to me, which is a sticky subject, but think about it. Can I inject poison into your lungs? Or into your AC system? I would probably get arrested as a terrorist for spewing non-government sponsored poisons into the open air. What is different about automobiles and strip mining is that someone somewhere is making/saving a ton of money.
   
   Oil companies are going into Peru, and destroying the land that indian tribes have been stewards of for thousands of years. The indians tell the people that they need to stop, and they get shot.
   
   The correlation between global warming and CO2 levels is there, yep. My girlfriend works in the climatology and coastal watershed studies department of the United States Geological Survey, and the data shows that yes we are in a cycle and we are accelerating the cycle many times. The general consensus is that while we don't know how much we are affecting global warming, we are definitely accelerating it.
   
   Plants and animals need time to adapt, and they're not likely to have the time given our treatment of my air and my water (yes, my water).
