Depressing controversial global warming post........ with bikini pictures
Crap I write a serious post about Global Warming and a sustainable environment and not one fucking comment.

So I'm going to cross post it in the lounge and add bikini pictures.



Hatrack posted a Guardian article in the Environmental area about the Miskito Indians in Nicaragua. Now these Indians are almost a perfectly natural indigenous population. They live off the land much like they did 1000 years ago.

They are one of the only a few groups of humans that are successfully living in an environmentally sustainable way.

I hear endless talk about what we can do to help prevent global warming everything from tree planting credits to methane capturing. But it comes down to the elephant in the room people seem silent. We have consume less resources than the earth produces. On that note we are total failures. We continue to consume massive quantities of fossil fuels. We use more water from aquifers than rainfall can replace, and we over fish entire species to the brink of extinction.

An intelligent man will realize that we cannot continue like this.

Nature has a way of keeping populations sustainable. In the Indians case a massive hurricane struck their villages and swamps. Now it is obvious that in the last 1000 or 10000 years dozens upon dozens of similar storms have struck the Miskito. Their population always bounced back from such disasters and it seems one of nature’s ways to prevent man from destroying the land that sustained him.

So do we celebrate this natural way of keeping the natural balance of man and nature? Hell no! To quote the Guardian “The residents of hundreds of shattered villages are at risk from hunger, exposure, contaminated water and disease spread by rats and mosquitoes, according to relief agencies. Infants have started succumbing to malaria, dengue and diarrhea.”

So we blink, just this once, honest nature. We will send 40 million in food and medicine to “rescue” the Miskito. And since the hurricane scarred land can no longer support the 160,000 plus population most will move into the cities where they will now contribute to global warming and the destruction of resources.

And one of the few sustainable populations left on earth will have disappeared.

Maybe we should stop lying to ourselves. Nobody is interested in sustainable growth if it involves hard choices. If it involves less for everyone and allowing starvation and population decrease till balance is achieved.

We are riding a speeding train down a steep grade and we would rather keep putting coal into the engine than admit that the hill has a bottom and the crash will kill everybody.





So lets see if I can get anyone to read my depressing manifesto on the environment and sacrifice.

5. If this doesn't convince Bill O'Reilly, nothing will.
He's reaching for his loofah right now. And Rush won't bother since he doesn't like girls.

7. Al Gore has completely missed the boat with "An Inconvenient Truth".
Think of the attention he could have given whatever the subject was, with this kind of production value.

And I'll bet that all of those women are smart, and would make excellent life-long companions due to their sense of humor.















.....what was that about approaching doom?

12. So scientists have discovered that as the temperature goes up, young women will wear less clothing?
And when an old geezer like myself is parched during the long hot droughts, nobody will assume my tongue is hanging out because I am dying of thirst but everyone will be outraged instead at my lechery?

14. See, that's your problem, you don't have your facts straight.
Obviously, not all of those photos were of bikinis.
