We have shown virtually no concern thus far in this age of extinction, even for the future of mankind, not even mentioning non human species. How dare you point out the truth. Don't you know we are in the midst of a global economic crisis? Just let us get through this crisis and then we will go back to doing something about the ecological health of the planet. Oh wait!!! We did nothing while we were in a state of prosperity.
On an intellectual level, I think Obama gets it that we cannot put off doing something about energy and global warming in the face of what we call the crisis. I am not sure, however, that he really gets it in his gut. To confront these problems will take passion. But I could be pleasantly surprised. So at least I should wait until he actually gets in office.
Don't you know Jesus is going to provide a couple trillion tons more coal for us to burn? It's underground, after all ... and we can't see underground. We can't watch Jesus making coal.
Making all this new coal right under our noses is a miracle.
Jesus is going to make some more 'abiotic' oil while he's at it. It's another miracle. For someone who can turn water into wine, turning garden variety rocks into coal and oil is a piece of cake!
We need to pray the US auto industry gets a government bailout, so they can get back to building more automobiles. How hard can that be? Jesus doesn't care about rain forests or weird species of amphibians or fishes or birds. Jesus is on OUR side, on the side of subdivisions and developers. He wants life to be comfortable, convenient and for us to run up enormous debts in the process.
Jesus will keep us from going bankrupt. If Jesus can raise up dead people, he can certainly raise up dead investment banks.
All you need is hope ... baby!
Yeah, but Jesus can't put the tops back on the WV/KY mountains. They're way too gone for even JC.
He can't pull the overburden out of the 700 miles of creeks already filled and the ??? miles yet to be filled that are not covererd any more under the clean water act.
No, Jesus can't do that.
God or Buddah or the Invisible Pink Unicorn can't do that either.
I wish JC could tell me when the oil price slide will end. Too scared to short USO, too scared to buy :-O
