Guest guest Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 OK, color me whatever -- but I think this is so alarmist. We already have areas of the world that are unstable: in the middle east, in Africa, in middle and south America. People are already leaving those areas now. So now they're going to blame it on global warming? I'm not saying we don't need to clean up our act and do it every day (but forget me taking Sheryl Crow's suggestion) - but part of me can't help but think " these generals are taking themselves a bit too serious " . Let's win the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq -- then you can address the global warming issue. And let's get the immigration and border problems worked out, as well. I live on 180 acres of pasture land with grass fed cows and horses. My gardening is all organic (because I'm lazy). I probably use more than my share of gas, but I live 20 miles from town and go to work everyday, but I pay my taxes. I take my own trash to the county dump and we don't pour any kind of chemicals, etc. onto the ground because we don't want to corrupt the ground water. I'm doing as much as I can for my immediate environment and I'm barely getting by with the taxes I have to pay. I do not want a buch extra taxes forced down my throat by a bunch of socialized international alarmists - which taxes I would probably never see utilized here in my neck of the woods. Locally, I'll do my part -- internationally -- forget it. Dede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are already leaving those areas now. So now they're going to blame it on global warming?> In some areas, like Darfur, overpopulation and climate change is definitely a factor in the instability. Doris Lessing, who knows the region well, wrote years ago that the real story was that Southern Africa is drying up.
