Shock? no not a bit my mate hasbeen is like this.
Clutching at straws that are not there.
Leaping on facts and trying to strangle the life out of them.
Shouting about lieing science and a world wide fraud, that he supports in his posts.
Why ever would 7 BILLION humans have any impact on our environment?
Well enjoy folks, but remember this thread will be Iconic one day, for its blindness to reality.
4 blooming Lilly's now Hasbeen! after inches of rain my home is renamed *foot rot flats* can day Lille's swim?

Why ever would 7 BILLION humans have any impact on our environment?
Belly,
Although 7 billion is way too many, the planet can deal with it. What the planet can't digest is pollution from warfare, medical waste, frivolous industry waste & commercial sport waste.
Also, the greenies are fighting against evolution every two minutes. Medical industry too is fighting nature all the way.
Let the planet run itself for a little while and you'll see.

indiviual,

"Let the planet run itself for a while and you'll see."

This is what you'll see:....http://www.chinahush.com/2009/10/21/amazing-pictures-pollution-in-china/

A pertinent example of a lack of regulation.

You see, the planet does run itself quite efficiently, but it has this dastardly clever species called Homo Sapiens that is as avaricious and devoid of wisdom and control as it is intelligent.

Poirot,
That's beyond the wildest imagination yet it is dreadful reality. Send that Post to those who believe in growth & keep the gates open for uncontrolled immigration.
At least they'll know what's at the end of that tunnel. See if they have a change of heart.
I just learnt that my Apple Macs were made in China, almost made me throw them out of the window. I would if I could be guaranteed other brands weren't produced under the same dreadful conditions.

Hasbeen,
Wikipeadia has, down in the references, about number 85, there are quite a few on the emissions equivalence.

I could not find some of the original articles that I read in the past.

However there are lots there. If you are in an area of inefficient
power generation with high co2 emissions you might come out square,
but the consensus (ha ha) seems to be that you emit about 60% to 75% of a similar ic engine car.

Anyway, I thought you were not interested in global warming !

The scam is not over fro Labor and Greens.They will milk it for all its worth.Don't trust the Coalition either.
