"Euroweenie? Sounds like some kind of meatless hotdog for the latterday yuppies or a forgettable summer comedy starring some kid I've never heard of."
What a great definition! Sums them up perfectly. Good job.
Here are some more definitions:
Q.E.D -was zu beweisen war.
Rain Forest - Jungle as in grows like a jungle.Not disappearing for any appreciable length of time.
'acidifies the ocean '- 352,670,000,000,000,000,000 gallons of water according to the
U.S. Geological Survey. How much CO2 would you have to add to make any changes.
Acid rain - Not heard about for 20 years or so.
Coral reefs - Not dying.
Questions?
Have you ever seen Angkor Wat with the trees growing over the stone temples?
Have you seen the threads on this web site where folks have tried to duplicate them by doing root over rock. Do you think they came up with that concept by themselves?
Do you remember when Saddam Hussein set fire to the oil fields in Iraq and the Euro-weenies were saying that the ecology was destroyed for ever? No trace of it now.
Do you remember when the BP deep well blew out in the Gulf of Mexico?
It was supposed to destroy the ecology of the entire southern US coastline. I live a mile (1.609344 kilometers for you euro-weenies) from the coast - it is beautiful and pristine with No, None, Nada signs that anything ever happened.
Acid rain? do you remember that from the 1970's? It was supposedly destroying the forests in the eastern US. Turns out that the vegetation was causing the runoff to acidify the lakes in the Adirondak mountains. In the 1700's the government sold nearly all the original public acreage of about 7 million acres for pennies an acre. Lumbermen were welcomed to the interior, with few restraints, resulting in massive deforestation (clear cut). They rebounded and are lush now.
Every environmental 'disaster' that has been bleated about over the last 40 or 50 years has turned out to be a big nothingburger. The Earth has an infinite ability shrug off these minuscule blips.
Fossil Fuels? How did there get to be enough fossils at the bottom of the oceans or in the deserts of Saudi Arabia to make hundreds of billions of barrels (42 gallons each- 158.987294928 Liters for you euro-weenies)of oil and still counting. Here is a hint - fossils have nothing to do with it. The earth creates it as a natural never-ending process. The reason they were called fossil fuels is because of the LaBrea Tar pits where animals got trapped in the tar and it was erroneously surmised that was what created the tar.
There is much much more that is believed that is not what really is but is used by politicians, environmental wackos, and people who are scared of their own shadows to control other people ( and never themselves -- see Al Gore,etc.). So please spare me the sky is falling rhetoric as it has proven over the last 50 or so years to be baloney.
