but wait

The sun is going to extinguish in the next few billiion years. It will burn out. It will be depleted of all the fuel necessary for it to provide life here. When it goes we go. Unless we go someplace else. The human race will cease to exist.

Unless we get hit by a meteor again which kills most everythign on the planet.

Or maybe the Ebola virus mutates into a form which manifests symptom free until after 7 days, where it's communicable during that period, then everybdoy dies.

Or maybe they'll be another Krakatoa.

Or maybe there will be another multicentury warm period exceeding ours.

Or maybe there will be another mini ice age, the likes of which ended almost two centuries ago.

Or maybe think about this. If there really is global warming, will we really need oil/natural gas/coal/wood to heat, fuel and run homes in temperate areas which would otherwise need heat and fuel for people to stay warm, cook, log on to their computers, watch TV, grow organic foods, power machinery to build bicycles and drive their SUV in snow?

The comments and suggestions here regarding skepticism of the "enviromental" issue are actually pure genious.

Sheer genius. I am trading in my wife’s Toyota for an H1. Think of how my NJ property value will increase when we get Florida weather!

As Hummers go, this H2 would probably contribute to something global:

The only problem is that once the icecaps melt, Hershey PA will become a coastal town. Jersey will be nothing more than a fable, like the lost city of Atlantis. See, maybe global warming isn't all bad afterall.

Kidding!

Most of Jersey, but I am up in the mountainous area so we should be fine. I will need to look for a new job though…

_____________________________

Forget H3s. Forget H2s and H1s. I'm trading in my my sneakers (oops, they've got rubber and plastic), I mean my bike (oops got vulcanized rubber and plastic too), I mean my straw slippers for one of these.

I'm going complete Nuclear. I'm goin WMD. I'm teaming up with Business America and the miltary and buying one of these.

6,000 horsepower. 12 thousand pound/feet torque. 0-60 in 40 seconds but can tear up some serious swamps ( I mean wetlands) in the meantime, 32 rounds of HPAT, HEAT or Tungsten Rounds depending on purpose, 7.62 coax and .50 cal just in case.

Oh yeah, it gets 2 gallons to the mile. However it will run on just about any fuel.

SUUUUWWWWEEET
Smoke em if you got em. ET phone home. Have a burger. e.e..

Silly hippies stop letting Al Gore tell you what to do. The world goes in cycles, the propaganda BS that he is pushing is exactly that BS.

Oh how I hate this part of Seattle…
