So you're saying God never designed the planet to handle anything us humans could throw at it ??

No. He never intended for us to destroy it. Or else Reagan or Khrushchev would have done it already.

Even they knew the planets's limitations, and the end result would have been a loss.

In the same way he 'designed' you to handle anything that could be thrown at it.

Now why don't you put that to the test by fucking an African hooker(without a rubber - it's gods law) in the middle of the freeway at rush hour whilst sipping some weed killer. :D

You mean when a politician actually shows leadership? And green energy isn't necessarily going to take a chunk out of the middle class. It may actually enrich them in the long run with jobs that cannot be exported...

Increasing the price of electricity by fifty percent doesn't affect the middle class?

The price of energy has gone up not because of green technology but because of greed. Remember how everyone thought we invaded Iraq for Oil. Turns out it wasn't for their oil per say but to make Cheney a war profiteer.

The price of oil and gas went up to record highs and record profits under Bush's raping of this country, had nothing to do with alternative energy.

Report: Most Americans in areas with unhealthy air

By NOAKI SCHWARTZ, Associated Press Writer Noaki Schwartz, Associated Press Writer – Wed Apr 29, 3:02 am ET
LOS ANGELES – Sixty percent of Americans live in areas with unhealthy air pollution levels, despite a growing green movement and more stringent laws aimed at improving air quality, the American Lung Association said in a report released Wednesday.

The public-health group ranked the pollution levels of U.S. cities and counties based on air quality measurements that state and local agencies reported to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency between 2005 and 2007.

Overall, the report found that air pollution at times reaches unhealthy levels in almost every major city and that 186.1 million people live in those areas. The number is much higher than last year's figure of about 125 million people because recent changes to the federal ozone standard mean more counties recognize unhealthy levels of pollution.

Health effects from air pollution include changes in lung function, coughing, heart attacks, lung cancer and premature death.

"Six out of 10 Americans right now as we speak live in areas where the air can be dirty enough to send people to the emergency room, dirty enough to shape how kids' lungs develop and even dirty enough to kill," said Janice E. Nolen, the association's assistant vice president on national policy and advocacy.

Cities including Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Charlotte, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and Baltimore have seen improvements in air quality over the last decade, the report said.

The Los Angeles-Long Beach-Riverside region of Southern California remained the metropolitan area with the highest levels of ozone pollution, as it has in each of the past 10 reports. Other metropolitan areas considered to have the most ozone pollution included Houston-Baytown-Huntsville and Dallas-Fort Worth in Texas.

The areas with the most short-term particle pollution or soot were Pittsburgh-New Castle, Pa.; and the California areas of Fresno-Madera, Bakersfield and Los Angeles-Long Beach-Riverside.

The cleanest metro area in all categories was Fargo, N.D.

The rankings in the "State of the Air Report" were based on ozone pollution levels produced when heat and sunlight come into contact with pollutants from power plants, cars, refineries and other sources.

The lung association also studied short-term and year-round levels of particle pollution, which is made up of a mix of tiny solid and liquid particles in the air.

Whatever dude...

God doesn't give us more than we can handle, and he knows everything about man and what we will do to this planet, or what we will do on this planet...

Just because you don't believe in God doesn't mean there isn't one...

[binnie]

Didn't God send a big flood last time man became too materialistic, greedy, beligerant and selfish?

Your really name isn't Noah by any chance?

Just because you are projecting things which are unknowable onto this god doesn't make them true.
How do you know he isn't the god of the wibblefucks, a type of sentient cockroach which will evolve and take over the earth after your lot destroy it.

He was happy enough to wipe out the dinosaurs why not the humans?

This fatalistic modification of christian mumbo jumbo is just a pathetic excuse to yourselves so that you can pretend that you can continue to do what the fuck you like without any consequences.

I want to see a real debate!

Let the American People decide!

Sure, right after we debate if gravity exists or not...

Where exactly are these numbers from?

No it isn't...

It makes a real believer much more aware of consequences, the way I, and most Christians I know, see it...

Most of the price increases in electricity can be attributed directly to greed (see ENRON).

A prime example of why utilities should never be privatized.

And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. - Revelation 11:18
