he said he didn't give much of a crap because he would be dead by then as he is in his late 40's.

That enironmental guy with the daughter seems to be common in his attitude of screw everyone else I'll be dead, I will do what I want when I am here and his kid can fix it or something.
Environmental guy is a MAJOR advocate for "cycling to work" cause he is into racing bikes himself and bought a Prius and told me it was "for the image" due to his job" Ugh
A CF enviromentalist would be considered one step away from setting fire to the SUV car lot at 3am. God Almighty

As CfDave mentioned, they're hypocrites. If they wanted to make negligible impact on the environment, then they should live like a childless third-worlder, in the middle of nowhere. However, I can't see them giving up their modern amenities to do it.

It is always depressing to see more of the desert vegetation (Tucson, Arizona) being ripped up for yet another housing development or shopping center. This is necessary because of increasing population, but the attitude towards nature I mentioned sure the hell does not make it any better.

I think people like that think that most of the population should be forced into cities with housing on top of housing for everyone else and THEY can build their home where THEY can have access to nature for themselves and their sprogs. She did mention that she wanted to have a "cabin in the woods" for herself, hubby and sprogs for summers far away from developments

Mr Yummy and I just bought a house with 3 bedrooms. Most of our friends are happy for us but one breeder HAD to say "why are you buying a three bedroom place? That house could have gone to a FAMBLEE that NEEDS them, you could make do with one or two. Childless couples shouldn't be buying big houses unless they plan to have kids"
No, asshole, we don't NEED three bedrooms but the fact that people like you are butthurt over it just makes me want to wave it in your face. See, when you don't have sprogs you can get a house you actually like, not one that's close to good schools and will get ruined by sticky fingers and drawing on walls and filled with plastic crap.

This is pretty bad on the East Coast. Rarely does a tract of open land remain that way without some developer wanting to build crap on it. Even in my town where there was two big fields that had been Superfund sites (an old factory dumped chemicals into the fields for years) a developer bought them and plunked condos on them.Quote

I'm sure this is not unique to Tucson or Arizona, but I am really bothered by the developers' attitude of "Oooh, empty space! Let's build something on it!" Nothing is sacred to them except the money they get from building shit. All the people breeding like fucking bunny rabbits are not encouraging them to change their attitude, and there are plenty of breeders around here.

Don't forget less cutting down habitat, less species extinction because less humans spreading and outcrowding the local animals, less poaching animals for money, less need for big farms to feed huge families that tend to draw stressed and hungry wildlife that will be killed for 'trespassing,' and less temptation to eat all of the remaining wildlife when the regional human population outgrows it's local food supply. *Quote

So much of what these people think, believe, and hold dear as their core values is rooted in complete fucking nonsense.
Much of what passes for today's environmental movement revolves around the subject of climate change. What these numbskulls refuse to acknowledge is that climate change is not the problem. Climate change is a symptom of overpopulation. The more humans on the planet, the more fossil fuels are burned, the more CO2 is released. It's that simple. Fewer humans would mean less burning.

*This is the other environmental elephant in the room. This happens a lot in the third world, and even as they don't pollute as much they will gut their own environmental life support system if it means feeding their growing family today. We can reduce pollution and reduce numbers in first world nations all we want, but unless the continuatial slaughter of animals and habitats is stopped too, we are still fucked, because the animals and trees are needed to help regulate the environment.

Don't forget the plastic poop filled diapers, too. I bet a decent percentage of landfill waste is human waste wrapped in plastic covered in cutesy cartoon animals.Quote
StudioFiftyFour
Some food for thought: Every piece of plastic that was ever manufactured in the history of mankind, still exists today. This is a massive problem for our solid waste landfills and oceans. What are children's items made of, almost exclusively?

NO AMOUNT of cycling to work, driving a Prius, or putting solar panels on rooftops will change this equation. "Alternative" energies CANNOT run even a fraction of what we are currently running now.
So what does this mean? Well, IF climate change is real, and IF it is caused by humans, and IF the results will be as catastrophic as some predict, then we have TWO options...
1. Reduce human population to a realistic and sustainable level.
2. Return to a pre-fossil fuel lifestyle, circa 1835.
And here's the kick in the dick, folks... NEITHER of these options are going to happen. There's not going to be draconian population controls, and we're not turning back the clock to the good ol' days, which weren't so good anyway.
So the next time a parent or any "environmentalist" starts bitching about environmentalism/pollution/global warming, tell them that you'll get entirely on board with their message on one condition: They must dramatically reduce or eliminate the amenities that make modern life so much better. I'm talking about dramatic reductions in consumer consumption, dramatic reduction in caloric intake, food rationing, medical rationing, antibiotic rationing, deep reductions in electricity and water usage, etc. etc. I could go on for paragraphs.
Believe me, I'm guilty as anyone when it comes to living a First World lifestyle, But at least I can admit it. These morons actually believe that they can consume the way they do, reproduce even more consumers, but make up for it by recycling a few aluminum cans and driving a hybrid car. It's naive at best and idiotic at worst.
