It's an atrocious computer generated film with inaccurate information which disagrees with even Monte Hieb. Jack Templar claims humans are responsible for 7% of CO2 released into the atmosphere (your friend Monte claims 3%). Neither are relevant because you have to include the CO2 being absorbed from the atmosphere - in which case humans are responsible for almost all the increase, and that's what counts.<br /><br />Jack Templar has also done similar (inane) films, including one in which he claims all religions, including Christianity, are lies.<br /><br />If you'll concede his efforts on global warming are inane, I'll agree with you that his efforts on religion are equally inane.bachfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752055891882312204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-20163467037780877932013-02-01T06:59:39.104-05:002013-02-01T06:59:39.104-05:00bachfiend, educate yourself with this:

That said, one nihilists martyrdom compared to the slow and painful extinction of entire races of men seems to be the lesser of two evils. <br />As for Beck: He irritates me on a personal level. Just another Neocon in Libertarian drag, IMHO. <br />He makes some valid points, and his show is sometimes entertaining (guests etc), but he grates on me. <br />That beard of his reminds me of one I grew in university. <br />Still, his navy is quite impressive!

He was also an assistant or collaborator with Julian Simon. (I don't recall the details; it's been a while since I listened to the lecture.)

One wonders if in the long run Simon or Ehrlich will be vindicated.<br /><br />I believe that quality of life is more a function of the <i>kind</i> of people in a population, and the kind of society they live in, rather than the <i>number</i> of people. (Assuming a population sufficiently large to allow for specialization.) When intelligence, wisdom, industry, thrift, courage, and other virtues characterize a population, resources will be more plentiful -- usually far more plentiful -- than otherwise. But of course each individual in a population has to be <i>free</i> to employ his (or her) virtues for his own benefit, for his family's benefit, and for the common good. So freedom is a prerequisite to human welfare, and for quality of life. Tyranny rarely (never?) fosters quality of life for a population as a whole.<br /><br />Another factor not often considered is the need for leisure time and energy (i.e. time and energy not spent on subsistence labor) for education, technological development, etc. When individuals must work 16 hours a day, year in and year out, to produce the bare necessities for survival, they will hardly be in a position to progress. (See Josef Pieper's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Leisure-Basis-Culture-Josef-Pieper/dp/1586172565" rel="nofollow">Leisure: The Basis of Culture</a>. Note that leisure, as Pieper uses the term, is neither inactivity nor mere amusement.)<br /><br />Tryanny, disrespect for the rule of law, government corruption, individual sloth -- all these, and other vices, detract from a population's quality of life. It is the character of a people, and the quality of their government, more so than their numbers, that promotes general well-being.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-20117089686631354002013-01-30T17:54:08.519-05:002013-01-30T17:54:08.519-05:00Attenborough is an old darwinian evolution climate...Attenborough is an old darwinian evolution climate warming fart.<br />Pépéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00896283600100217146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-43470281566798063312013-01-30T16:33:21.775-05:002013-01-30T16:33:21.775-05:00@TRISH:

We breed 'em, you feed 'em! That's the American way. <br /><br />No one is suggesting any such thing. What we're saying is that mankind is not "a plague on the earth." There's value to human life. The earth is a wonderful thing precisely because it supports life. Without life, it's just another cold, dark rock in space. This man's attitude toward human beings may sound a little extreme but I suspect that most population control/environmental extremists feel much the same way, and they would say as much in a moment of candor.<br /><br />Although world population has increased, food production has more than kept pace. In fact, there's been a global explosion of fat. It's not just Americans. Yes, there are some emaciated people in Africa, but those people were emaciated twenty, fifty, and a hundred years ago as well. The rest of the world is eating donuts and burgers like it's going out of style. I don't think we're all on the path to starvation. To the contrary, all previous predictions to that effect have turned out to be wrong.<br /><br />http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/human_nature/2006/09/please_do_not_feed_the_humans.html<br /><br />The Torch Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-71300265212368862282013-01-30T14:45:48.263-05:002013-01-30T14:45:48.263-05:00You're rather nasty yourself, KW.
