They want less development, but less development begins with them, doesn%26#039;t it? It%26#039;s never too late for them to relocate so that the mountain lions, opossums, deer, owls, bears and other animals can then reclaim those areas--do you agree?

It just seems and those some AGW proponets believe in telling others where they can and can%26#039;t live--after they had the freedom to live wherever they wanted to.1 week ago
Emmy: Then you%26#039;re part of the problem! You%26#039;re not supposed to be selfishly living in a small town (that%26#039;s inefficient and encroaches on natural habitat). You need to be in the big urban areas where people are stacked on top of each other--your area can then be given back to wildlife.1 week ago

Though I do use less than most alarmists!1 week ago
My point is that people living in the big cities are living less hypocritically than AGW people are. I disagree that you have to decrease development and live only in already devloped areas, but AGW alarmists insist that other people should no longer be allowed to settle in unsettled areas (even though that%26#039;s how they got the home their living in).* You must be logged into Answers to add comments.

Well, Al Gore is the biggest proponenet of AGW. Let%26#039;s use him as an example.
His mansion uses about 20 times the energy the average American does. He updated the house to make it green, and his electrical usage went up 10%. Way to go Al.
He flies in a private plan.
He just bought a 100%26#039; house boat fully equiped with a personal jet ski.
Hmmmm....guess not.

well i know i practice what i preach. We recently bought a hybrid car and we live in a sustainable culture and we grow a lot of our own food. We live in a small town and eat organic local foods. It is a hard life style but it is going to pay off

But they want the rest of us living in caves and walking so there will be more for them to use. It is not saving the planet or conservation that drives them it is pure greed.

There are mountain lions in Orange County, CA, near Camp Pendleton. Occasionally they get a jogger or a biker. -Cool!
Thank God I%26#039;m a Country Boy!!

Yes. I don%26#039;t expect anyone to take any steps that I won%26#039;t take myself. I don%26#039;t really care if you think otherwise.

Don%26#039;t you mean GW supporters?

Al Gore should cycle and swim around the world spreading his message if he cares so much about the polar bears so much (rather than his own carbon trading business), and the IPCC should stop wasting paper with their %26quot;projections%26quot; and running their models to reduce co2.
If you want to reduce co2, go collect all the leaves when they fall off the trees and bury them before the decompose and release nasty co2 as this accounts for much more than all of mans co2 emmissions, then sit back and feel good about yourself as our tinkering bugger up the earths natural systems which we dont understand -
HAHAHAHAHA!
What makes you think you%26#039;ve ever come down from the trees or out of the caves?
The question says more about you than any answer can ever do.
Development is about helping the poorest nations to skip the dirty stages of development by utilising the abundance of energy in their own ecosystems.
Heliothermal, Photovoltaic, Aeolic, Geothermal (oh, sorry, of course... I should speak to the level of my audience) The Sun%26#039;s heat and light energy, the energy from the wind and the energy from the Earth%26#039;s own heat (is that better, diddums? :o) are sufficient for modern, efficient appliances (electrical things that work using less energy) and can operate Hydrolitic plant (splitting water by electricity producing Hydrogen (an invisible, odourless gas, abundant in nature and which constitutes the majority of the energy in Fossil Fuels (%26lt;sighs%26gt; you know? %26quot;gas-ow-leene%26quot;?) which can be used in Fuel Cells.... aw, whatever!
I give up! I can%26#039;t talk to people who drool spittle! My 1st Honours Science Degree in Environmental Management, reading scientific magazines, instead of shopping catalogues and having about x 2Bn more grey cells available for those tasks!
