Remember a couple years ago when that volcano blew in the Philippines? Some scientists calculated the pollutants emitted by it to be more in one day, than mankind has created in the last one thousand years. Which to me means there should have been a noticeably large jump in global warming. Especially since it was blowing hot and heavy for a lot more than one day.

So I remain skeptical, but I am doing what I can to reduce my own pollution. Because even if we aren't making it worse we aren't making it better either.

http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/
i'm the guilty party volvo farmer .
i got the link from my son and i'm posting it again.

the way i see things now,
  some were between the hiroshima blast in 1945 and the apollo 11 moon landing in 1969.
mankind's childhood came to an end.

that means
we  take the responsibility on how things are done. how many of us there are ,
 and were we are heading.
not corporations or politicians .
i want a lush, healthy planet.
and a civilization that doesn't fall because it has used up it's resources.

so how do we get there from here?

"so how do we get there from here?"

Cut the human population of the planet in half or by three quarters or....
That's the only way to get back to a healthy lush planet.  Going from six billion to ten or twelve billion people isn't going to do it.  Most of the nice farms that were here when I was a child have been broken up into lots or ten acre parcels.  And a lot of that simply reflects the reality of many children per family.  Of course, nature via viruses may solve that problem for us.

reducing the population of the world by 50% may be  the only way to give ourselves the time we need .
so what is required ,
a top down edict as initiated in china?
some sort of societal pressure were large families are frowned upon?
a revision in world religions?

war and plague are options but they make for bad t.v.

Simply stop trade with China.  See what the consequences of that would be.  Actually, there are many reasons why we should come down hard on the Chinese.  Their human rights record is one.  Their laws regarding trade is another.

fin ,
 i agree in princple, whats the point in having human right standards
or health standards or pollution standards or what ever,
if we are going to get in bed with (trade with ) those who do not !

by trading with them we are giving our tacit consent.
now we are as guilty as those that perpetuate these injustices.
