So what does it mean to you? Not much, apparently...

Some people understand that we just are taking care of this planet for our kids until they are old enough to take over. Some people don't, they think it's
all theirs to suck out as much as they can and fuck the next generation -- if they even have one to pass on the bill to.

If you don't give a shit about future generations, of course you'll keep on driving gas guzzling SUVs and trucks as if it was business as ususal forever, until they are all gone and buried.

This picture of a skydiver with a broken parachute comes to my mind... 1m above
ground, fractions of a second before impact, still thinking "So far everything went well...".

LOL, I have heard this unbelievable line of hippie shit for decades. If humans are so smart, we would all be living in a utopian paradise with a clean
planet, no poverty, no starving third-world countries, etc. And maybe technically smart enough to have the flying cars and cities on the moon.

Face it - Its not the individual so much that drives the SUV thats
the problem. Its industrial culture that will NOT change, and capitalism drives the economies worldwide. There is no alternative. Not socialism; not hippies holding hands. And all of these climate-change nutjob protesters are all looking to big government to fix everything. While at the same time complaining that governments cannot be trusted, especially American ones.

To be clear - I respect true environmentalists who actually do something like wash animals at the beach from spilt oil tankers, or pick up plastic, or clean up city slums, etc. If more people did that, there WOULD be a noticable difference for the planet, the environment and noone would really complain.

And I have done volunteer work like this, so I have seen first hand the difference between a mindless climate protester and a person who actually gives a shit to do something.

Hello Bj�rn,

Had it not been for oil and gas production, there would have
been no world population explosion. What is going to happen when
the oil and gas is no longer there? What will happen to the world's population? Without the resources, we cannot produce enough food
to feed the people. When the people do not have enough food to eat,
they die. It will not take long for the world population to decline
to what it was before the oil boom.

If you don't give a shit about future generations, of course you'll keep

on

driving gas guzzling SUVs and trucks as if it was business as ususal forever, until they are all gone and buried.

Without the oil, how are you going to feed the people?

True story from a few years in West Virginia -

At halftime of a high school football game, three parachutists
were to jump out of a plane onto the field. The first parachutist's
chute failed to open and he wound up landing with a thunk to the left
of the stadium. Then the second parachutist's chute failed to open
and he wound up landing with a thunk to the right of the stadium.
The third parachutist's chute also failed to open, but that did not
stop him from hitting his mark - right square in the middle of the
field on the 50-yard line.

The rest of the game was cancelled.

How do you spot trolls in Fidonews?

They are the guys who constantly blabbering about trolls.

Oh, how very true. Only the trolls don't understand it, so they keep on making themselves known over and over again.
