This is what I find simultaneously hilarious and disturbing about current trends to "conserve". It is that there is so much misinformation and incorrect conclusions.
This is from a Discovery channel program on "global warming". In broad terms, global warming will be caused by a greenhouse effect, which is caused by all kinds of stuff that humans put into the air (not getting into details, because that's not my point). A greenhouse effect will raise temperatures and increase rainfall amounts. Does anyone see where I'm going here? Continuing with the story, a professor actually came out and stated that, while the greenhouse effect may not be good for HUMANS, it's actually quite healthy for most life on earth - especially plants and those directly reliant on plants! So, when people tell you that "we are killing Mother Earth" tell them we're just killing ourselves - Mother Earth is quite healthy! |

I need to relay that info to the guys at work who are dead set on "An Inconvenient Truth" being reality. |
