How do you feel about tree huggers?

[elcee 3,340]

Now back to the original question.

I get very annoyed with all the focus on global warming.

Firstly I don't believe in man made global warming. The heating up and cooling down of the planet is all part of natures cycle. Hell without global warming we'd be stuck in an ice age.

I also don't like the fact that the focus on GW makes people forget the broader picture. They all think they are amazing if they switch off a light but have no qualms about deforestation, extinction of species etc.

People come up with bandaid solutions. E.g Wind turbines. They are ugly,noisy and inefficient and don't stand a hope of producing the amount of elec we require. Sadly by the time people realise this we will be left with a planet covered in ugly,rusting,useless turbines.

So yes I don't like tree huggers(using Bob's definition) but I have lots of time for people that genuinely care abbout the environment and all aspects of it.Not ones that are just jumping on the GW bandwagon.

One word.

Copenhagen!

Oh and finally -can some one please tell me what happened to acid rain, cos I grew up being told that acid rain would destroy the planet.It hasn't been mentioned for a long time now because obviously they were wrong.

Maybe we should take bets on what the next smokescreen environmental issue will be.

Is tree hugging a new sexual position?

I just heard from Patty that it's against god's law - says it's somewhere in Leviticus. What I'm really afraid of is that liberals will want to allow people and trees to marry. A tree once proposed to me and I said, "Ah, you're such a sap!"

Problem probably went away when clean air laws were enacted. :thumbup:

I have a cat, my son has a cat, my daughter has 3 cats and a dog - all rescues. We are all big animal lovers. My daughter just had her first child, my first grandchild. And I kept telling her how she would love him more than her pets. That her love for her pets would pale in comparison. She didn't think it was possible until she had him and now admits I was right.

Now, about the kittens - there is a lady with a group that does rescues. I will PM you with the info. Good for you that you helped with that kitten.

I wasnt able to recieve the message. Im not real computer savvy so Im not sure why.

It can be if you drill the holes just right.

Or if you carve it nice and smooth, well, I guess alot of women like it rough!

In the top right corner where it says: welcome loserbob, below it click private messages.

Then click "unread private messages" or it that doesn't work, after you click private messages, there might just be a list in blue of PM's - click on mine (rescue kittens).

All this tree hugging position talk reminds me of a great trashy novel I read this past winter. I don't think they were actually "hugging" the tree ..........

Good. She might be able to help. She specializes in rescuing kittens and then posting their pictures online for adoption. Good luck.
