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.


Yes, it does. The manufacture of solar panels generates all sorts
of greehouse gasses, as does the manufacture of even hydroelectric
generators.


A hydroelectric generator does not create greenhouse gasses.


And for people to *read* your posts, they have to use electricity,
and msot electricity is generated by fossile fuels. So by posting,
you induce others to be as hypocritical as you are.


I am not responsible for their behavior, nor for your wasteful vacations.

And *all* electricity eventually ends up as waste heat.


Which eventually radiates away from Earth.

This isn't about my
electricity,


It is now, hypocrite.


It is not. This is about the hypocrisy of your being a warmingist who makes unneeded airplane flights, when a rowboat could serve instead.

And by the way, shorten your screen name and get rid of your stupid tag line. That should reduce the load on the servers, save some power and help hide the fact that you are a hypocritical wastrel.

Every post you make kills another butterfly.


Every plane trip you make helps kill off entire species, perhaps.

So don't complain about CO2 emissions when you are a major contributor to them.
