I give up my SUV when you pry it from my cold dead fingers.

The way you drive that shouldn’t be long.

Claim: “[By] 1995, the greenhouse effect would be desolating the heartlands of North America and Eurasia with horrific drought, causing crop failures and food riots … [By 1996] The Platte River of Nebraska would be dry, while a continent-wide black blizzard of prairie topsoil will stop traffic on interstates, strip paint from houses and shut down computers.” Michel Oppenheimer and Robert H. Boyle, Dead Heat, St. Martin’s Press, 1990. Oppenheimer is the Albert G. Milbank Professor of Geosciences and International Affairs in the Woodrow Wilson School and the Department of Geosciences at Princeton University.

Personally I hope mankind kills itself off soon after I die at a ripe old age, but the animals survive and eventually thrive again.

The human race is worthless, greedy, selfish, self- interested trash and never deserved this beautiful planet to begin with.

I hope ten thousand years from now there is no longer a trace of human so-called "civilization" to be found anywhere on this planet and that it continues to revolve around the sun in peaceful, perfect harmony with nature.

You’re not exactly representing the environmental movement in a positive light you know?

I suspect you are out of weed.

I am sure he was typing that with his A/C blasting, some fancy KW eating server, all the lights on, etc. after the drove his gas hog pick up to go get some sort of processed food made in another CO2 producing fast food joint. Kind of misses the whole point.

Have you ever seen any of those documentaries about how nature has reclaimed the exclusion zone around Chernobyl? Here's a pictorial one. Fascinating.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ear...Chernobyl.html

There is a great documentary series that delves into what the Earth would look like after human extinction. They look at it incrementally in spans of thousands of years, starting at like 100 years, then 500, 1,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000, etc.

They show the gradual decay of cities like New York, Los Angeles, etc. First the streets and sidewalks disappear as vegetation pushes it's way through and reclaims them. Then the vines start growing up the sides of buildings. Then, the glass panels fall out or are broken allowing wind to swirl through, pushing more windows out and bird's nest and animals burrow inside of them. Eventually with the pull off the vines and the stresses of the wind and elements combined with age and lack of maintenance, they beging to crumble and fall down.

After 50 - 100k years, there are tree and brush covered hills where the rubble lies beneath the soil and everything is back to the way it was and is supposed to be.

You can find segments of it on YouTube.

Prior to seeing that series, I used to spend some time trying to imagine the very same thing.

So why wait for you to die naturally? Why not kill yourself and take 100 fellow liberals with you? Seems like if you really cared about Mother Erf you would walk the walk. But, based on your first sentence, I don't think you mean what you say.

You are merely virtue signaling. For such dedicated behavior in the cause of stupid liberalism, I award you......

This is a perfect example of why everyone has given up expecting to ever see anything intelligent out of the likes of you.

Right-wing drool bucket.

And as with everything else that has ever emanated from that cesspool you call your skull you would be totally, 100% wrong.

Guess you're used to that by now though.

One can tell by your answer that I am 100% right. Now get moving on answering the other thread. You seem to run away and fall silent when you actually have to prove your intellectual level.

[USFREEDOM911]

But I won't.

The only thing that leaves for you is to do it yourself.

So you just can't follow your convictions.

Evolution is a positive process. We can yet rid the world of morons.

Says the lying leftist lunatic drool bucket. STFU, seriously.

Never ceases to amaze me how you far left loonies start out all "intellectual", get proven wrong, then get reduced to the level of Cartoon Kenny here. You poor dumb bastard.
