I Have The Solution Against Global Warming?
So I make my part for the environment, I don't make kids and I pay my taxes, so please leave me alone.
If people make kids, they leave a strong carbon footprint and this is compounded if your kids make kids in the future.
But if you stay single with no kids, you use less energy, yet you can indulge yourself in a luxurious life all for yourself and still use less energy than an average family. Also, you don't leave kids that will pollute in the future.
So, let's do our part against global warming, let's promote contraception and celibacy.

No celibacy but definately less kids. I highly agree that the more people alive the more people that pollute although the problem still lies with people polluting and not necessarily the amount. But in a sense you're right, it would help.
LOL yeah, unless you are a single Al Gore who probably uses enough energy for a small town on a daily basis, like many of those people at the Live Earth Concerts.
The problem is that most of the people who are environmentally concious and intelligent are the ones who should be having more children so they can teach them how to conserve. Its all the high school dropouts and people from third world countries that have 5 kids with no education that are making the world go back to the dark ages.
even with less kids it is more of the factories fault in global warning we should respect the earth more and it's creations.
I gotta agree with freakyboy ... yes to less kids, no to celibacy.
Yet countries like Canada are looking at incentives to have more kids because an aging population means a smaller tax base when they retire. We have been borrowing from our children for so long there is nothing left. Twisted logic to pay people to have kids in a world where thousands of them die of starvation and illness every day.
What global warming?
How about we just boycott paper? Tree=oxygen. Cutting down tree requires chainsaw. Chainsaw burns gas and emitts CO2. Tree now cut down. Big machine picks up tree. Big machine burns diesel and emits CO2. Tree now dropped onto 18 wheeler. Yep, you guessed it. 18 Wheeler burns more diesel and emits more CO2. Now tree at paper mill. Paper mill has parking lot full of CO2 emiting cars. Now Im not sure how much CO2 is emitted during the paper making process at the mill, but after its done, more trucks are needed to take the paper to where its going. And just think, after the paper has been used and thrown out, it emitts CO2 as it decomposes. So lets cut down on VAST amounts of CO2 by not using paper. EVER. You can use a spotted owl to wipe your posterior.
Planet Earth has its own agenda to follow and weird suggestions like yours won't make any difference to it. Humans can destroy themselves but other forms of life will go on.
The best way to reduce CO2 is to stop breathing. When we exhale, we release that destructive gas.

Of course that the more people there is, the more people will use the natural resources. But also this planet and the universe belongs to God and also God let all the people to have as many kids as they want, in the Bible having kids its mentioned like a blessing. Its mostly the parents who have to teach their children to live in a sustainable development. But is mostly the rich countries the ones who spend and waste more the natural resources, they began long before the third world countries, they use more cars and have polluted more the air since the industrial revolution.

Actually population is a major role in global warming and making your decision will definitely help but not enough at the moment. Here is another thing you can do to help stop global warming and it won't cost you a penny.
The raising of cattle for beef consumption causes more global warming than all of the cars exhaust on this planet. It starts with thousands of sq. miles of tropical rainforest being cut down and burned to raise much of the cattle. Then the amount of methane gas(a global warming gas) that is expelled by cattle. 100 million tons of methane gas a year is expelled by cattle just in the U.S. alone. The amount of water to raise these cattle is beyond belief also. It takes about 20 acres of land a year to supply the protein a person needs by eating beef and over 2500 gallons of water. For a vegetarian it takes 1 acre of land to supply the protein they need for one year and about 40 gallons of water. Stop eating beef and you will be doing more to stop global warming than many other opitions.
well see, now I'm confused. When God said "increase and multiply" was he talking about us learning math or having kids.
