If you believe in global warming, then you shouldn't fly
to Iceland. Swim maybe, or sail or row a boat. But not
fly there.

In fact, I did fly there. Other than being eight hours in a
tin can, it was a very pleasant flight. And I have doubts
that global warming has much to do with their history of
volcanic eruptions, which are the greatest hazard to air
travel (as demonstrated a few years ago).

Volcanoes have nothing to do with this.

That's what I said, yes.


No, it wasn't.


Yes, it was.


No, it was not what you said.


The ancestors of current-day Icelanders arrived in longboats
powered by wind, currents, and oars. If you were concerned
about your contributions to CO2 in the atmosphere, you should
have used some similarly green mode of transport.

And if you're worried about your contributions to CO2 in the
atmosphere, you should shut down your computer, put it in a
box, and throw it in a swamp. Along with every other device you
own that uses electricity.


If you are concerned about the effects of CO2 emissions, then
you should stop flying and give up your electronics too.

Also, "throwing electronics in a swamp" is bad for the
environment. There are proper ways to dispose of unwanted
electronics and that is not one of them.

Swamps are important features of healthy environments. But your
flying habits have already demonstrated your lack of concern
about what you do.


You're still posting, usi9ng electricity that generates CO2, which
will destroy human civilization and kill us all (accordin to you).


Do YOU believe that CO2 will destroy civilization and kill everyone? What exactly DO you believe will happen and what steps will YOU personally take from now on to forestall it?

Ergo, are you what you accuse everyone else of being: a deliberate
destroyer, and hypocrite.


My electricity doesn't generate CO2. This isn't about my electricity, it's about your wasteful, environmentally destructive airplane travel, destruction in which most people in the world DON'T participate.
