    Humans - you puny mortal fools, build next to the ocean, in the dessert, on top of a mountain. Tidal Waves, hurricanes, earthquake, fire, radiation, asteroids. Does it matter, your little bridges and buildings will fail, your roads will fall apart, your chemicals be eaten. Give it a month, a year, ten thousand milenia, it will all be gone. For I adapt, encompass, corrode, oxidize, and demolecularize it all. I am entropy and the sun, the moon and the stars my helpers.

    And you think you can do anything one way or another...Human Arrogance

    well we have managed to remove ~9 out of 10 fish over a foot long from the oceans, we have flooded the oceans with so much plastic it outweighs plankton ~15/1. We managed to add ~30% to the atmospheric CO2 and double the concentration of CH4. If we're lucky we might even survive another 100 years but then again we are melting the ice caps so fast its slowing down the ocean circulation which by the way if it fails ( at some critical tipping point ) then its mass extinction time just like the two times before that the ocean currents failed

    so ya I guess the planet will survive just fine but if you want to leave anything for your kids then you might want to start thinking about how your going to do that cause at this rate

    fat chance

    cheers

    While the ice melts in Antarctica, it freezes in the Arctic. Old story.

    Help the environment. Ban ethanol from fuel tanks, which will improve fuel efficiency and preserve engine life, which cuts down the pollution caused during the manufacturing process. More corn for the kitchen, too. :D

    we been over this one as well Hoyt

    we could start with glacier ice loss

    [​IMG]

    then we could move on to the antarctic ice loss

    [​IMG]

    and then we could really put the nail in the perverbial coffin with arctic ice loss

    [​IMG]

    simple reality is that while ice loss in the Antarctic is not occurring as fast as in the Arctic its still ice loss

    I hope your fuel is at least 10% ethanol.
