What 'research' are you referring to? Lack of proper documentation leads me to believe you have not read any, nor will you ever.

Um, I think pollution is bad.
Oh, so that's your impression, huh?

Air quality and such, eh, should be better.
2003 Air Quality Studies from the University at Hellmouth, Mass. indicate that the Earth's air quality is actually at an all-time high due to low volcanic co2 and carbon emissions, so you're WRONG!

Not to get too far off topic, but i was a big ol Latin and French dork back in high school.
It means something quite profound and insightful...
Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur = Anything said in Latin sounds profound

If I learn anything on these threads, it's that words and 'facts' can be twisted around like wheat in a windy field, and all we can do is be flexable enough in ourselves to be prepared to accept being wrong about anything, any time.

I don't think anyone cares if this thread flip flops a little.
My High School french teacher, Misure Bisagni, used to yell at me and give me zeroes for not doing homework, but I got 100's on all the tests, so I got out of his class with a B-. Tan pis.

You and three or four others (you all know who you are) put a LOT into these discussions, plus you put up with people who think they're funny ( I know who I am), sometimes it's hard just to keep up readin' , much less participatin'.
Anyhow, thanks for makin' this particular thread most interesting, Finn.

This is a very interesting discussion. I have enjoyed reading it and feel I've learned a few things. The New Yorker article is very interesting. I haven't quite finished it yet.
It's just nice to see an intelligent, articulate (and mostly grammatically-error-free) discussion over here about something I find important where people can voice their opinions without getting shot down (okay, most of the time).
But since I must give an opinion, I have to say that I agree with Chrisisall that global warming is a serious problem that needs to be dealt with and that farmers in Brazil should not have to hack into the rainforest to raise cows for our value meals, I agree with Finn that we need better, cleaner and more regulated nuclear power (in addition to other "clean" types of power). And even though I disagree with her stand on global warming, I enjoy Canttakethesky's very articulate writing and applaude her use of big words. And I would also like to state the I am against man-made dams as a general rule. They do horrible things to the existing ecosystem and tend to do more damage in the long run than good.
That is all.

At the end of the day, we'll just have to look at global depopulation - there just isn't going to be 2 ways about it. It doesn't matter if you give everyone a personal nuclear plant - they'll still need to plant and eat and grow food stuff, if not for themselves, then someone will have to till the land and harvest for the rest of us folks who doesn't know how to or are too busy (pounding on keyboards and stuffing our faces with Pizza + Coke) to do it. All of that raw materials that we build them Ikea furnitures out of all come from somewhere. Let's face it, some folks are just happy clearing and grazing their own land. Others are just as happy sucking up material that others cleared and grazed.
Now, conservationists might say that we'll just have to get these simple folks something else to do, educate them, give them free energy. Who's going to grow all of these food stuff and raw materials that we need? And just what exactly is going to happen when everyone on the planet is fat, dumb, and happy? Oh, wait. We make even more babies who probably have even longer life span...
So, maybe we need a couple more wars and a few more major bird-flu or ebola epidemic to help thin out the herd a bit.

I think he wanted less regulation, like in competition would naturally produce the best made and safest reactors. Don't know myself if it'd work that way, but...
Nice to have another voice here CallMeSerenity.
