What is an apocaloptimist? It is someone who sees the world going to hell in a hand basket but remains optimistic anyway.
Are you one? If so why? If not, why not?
Isn't that part of this Christian fairy tale you cling to?

Actually, I'm not so sure about whodey.
And btw, I don't know any Christian fairy-tales.

The idea is to stop global warming before it starts destroying the earth. This planet is still the only one we have.
You're like the kid who is told to stop masturbating or he'll go blind. He then asks "can I just do it until I need glasses?"
Haven't you heard of the "Greenhouse Effect"? By the time we "need glasses" it'll be too big and too late to stop it. But all you fools care about is your profits now. Screw the next generations.

After I stopped (or at least cut back) was about the time I started needing glasses..

Because of the Greenhouse Effect, the devastating effects of global warming will still continue for years after we stop adding untold tons of chlorofluorocarbons to the air each year. It's even unclear whether we are already past the 'tipping point'.

Originally posted by SuzianneSorry, this is a little confused, CFC's cause ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere. By international agreement their use has been phased out and the problem has been mitigated. Carbon emissions are believed to cause global warming. Because CFC's are useful but not essential they were easy to eliminate from fridges and so forth. Carbon emissions are created by energy production. This makes it far more difficult to eliminate them because energy is what civilization is built upon. However, I'm confident that, because climatic catastrophe is in no one's long term interests, carbon mitigation policies will gradually be adopted by governments.
