[COLOR=]I read through pnichols list on page 20 of steps taken to help. It mostly seemed very boilerplate/standard stuff that most everyone, my own family included, do these days. I didn't read anything that made me think "wow, he is really concerned and taking serious steps." If anything, it led to further resolve on my stance regarding the hypocrisy. A Pool? An E-450 RV? Air Conditioning? Adding (building) a new house to the environment instead of purchasing an already existing house? A 500 foot driveway that leads one to the conclusion that it is a large property (how do those fit in with overpopulation)? And I am guessing that the RV is stored in a barn or such on said property. Home entertainment system (likely shipped from china) instead of using the speakers already present in the TV? He painted a picture of a lifestyle that doesn't seem all that concerned about the dire consequences requiring such drastic measures as population control at some point.
Hmmmm ... "boiler plate/standard stuff that most everyone" does these days ... really?
- It sounds like you have something against having a solar heated plastic liner pool originally filled 20-25 years ago and topped up with a few gallons each year from a natural spring (that the DW needs to exercise in as therapy for certain medical conditions)?
- So are you saying that human-caused GW believers on this forum shouldn't RV with a 8-10 MPG motorhome ... instead use a popup they tow behind a Smart Car, or instead use a Sprinter cutaway van based motorhome, or instead use a diesel truck towing a TT, or instead use a diesel truck camper, or are you saying that a human-caused GW believer shouldn't RV at all?
- Are you saying that a human-caused GW believer shouldn't live in a residence that is air conditioned with a low ER unit ... instead move from the Southern U.S., or instead move from Arizona, or instead move from Southern CA, or are you saying that a human-based GW believer shouldn't live in a residence that is air conditioned at all ... even when air conditioned with a SATA high ER heat pump unit for both cooling and non-fossil fuel based heating?
- Are you saying that a human-based GW believer shouldn't build, or have built, their own residence on raw land ... even when there aren't any existing used homes in the area or even when building their own residence is way less expensive than buying an existing used residence? How does everyone everywhere only buying existing residences play against an ever-increasing world population?
- Regarding a "large property" ... now you finally get one of the prime reasons for population control ... so way out in the future far more people can benefit (on several fronts) from living in less crowded conditions.
- How many folks have upgraded their TV's to LED lit, or OLED lit, TV's for energy conservation instead of perhaps buying other less-necessary toys?
- Our RV is stored outside in the elements ... except for being partially shaded by a large natural oak tree that was a twig when we first moved to the raw land to live in an old trailer while we built the residence.
- If you think that population control is drastic instead of necessary ... try watching "Soylent Green" if you never have, or again if you once did. Personal decision population control will never happen until the world finds itself already in the middle of a drastic emergency. Population control will only happen ahead of time before it's a drastic emergency if imposed from the outside. I suspect that being "imposed from the outside" strikes at the basic motive for one being a GW denier in the first place.
