Couldn't one argue science is a religion in some ways?

No, you really can't. They're polar fucking opposites.

Also, all that stuff about the Netherlands going underwater isn't as bad as it seemed to be. True, the Netherlands WILL be going underwater, but not as much as expected. This is what I'm trying to get at. It's not going to be some huge apocalypse. People are just exaggerating it all out of proportion. Finding solutions to the problem is better than giving up everything and having to go back to the Stone Age. |

Who's finding solutions? Not the conservatives, that's for sure. Unless you consider doing nothing a solution.

Finding solutions to the problem is better than giving up everything and having to go back to the Stone Age. It wasn't really exaggerated at first, they just didn't investigated it well enough. And now they HAVE investigated it close enough, it seems it indeed isn't really something like a apocalypse. But yeah, now people are just exaggerating it..... >_> Also, they've already made plans and solutions to make it even less worse. The problem? They haven't started a fuck on it. Just because they "don't have the money" and are "too busy" with the other projects, which aren't important imo. I mean, what do you prefer, going from north-amsterdam to south-amsterdam quicker than normal, which can already be archived in 30-45 minutes without that, or a smaller change to live underwater between the sharks? |

The free market got us into this mess in the first place. The only thing that can stop it is unified government intervention.

Of course, most governments would rather pay lip service and focus on bailing out corporations instead. I guess we're fucked.

Hm, is it really necessary to spend billions on plans that might not work, over something so exaggerated?

Bullshit is it exaggerated. I've heard this a million times before. They won't admit they're wrong until ten years after they absolutely had to, and then they'll stall for time by claiming their opponents are only half right. They'll never win, they're just delaying until it's too late to do anything.

Why would you listen for a second to someone whose profit margin depends on you being ignorant? They've already lied to you a hundred times... Global warming is more important then terrorism, more important then the banking crisis... but what is being done about it? Jack shit.

And why would they do that? Because they want the world to be destroyed? Exxon-Mobil is run by a bunch of emos?

Because they don't fucking care. Corporations don't give a shit who they screw over, whose lives they destroy. The short term profit is all that matters.
