Only in the sense that a too-fast flip to green would be disruptive of society--but probably not as disruptive as the complete collapse of high technology.
The August issue of Discover has an interesting article about community-based environmental chemical testing. Since the business community generally only tests for contaminants when forced to by legal action, community-initiated testing is starting to show exactly how poisoned we are, no matter how much care we take with what we eat and how we live. And as the science of epigenetics clearly shows, even a small chemical insult can have profound deleterious effects.
Not just industry, ground 0 had a lot more poison then the government let on (government is comunity, well it should be)
maybe in Canada, not here--it is entirely a captive of big business.
Not fast enough in my opinion.

[-1 points] 4 years ago by deleted user ReplyThe hoax is that there is a finite amount of oil and more and more people want a slice of the pie?

[0 points] 4 years ago by deleted user ReplyOh well, you just continue to listen to your "experts" who disagree with the scientific community. If I want to find an "expert" that wants to tell us the earth is flat or that god/alah/fsm exists I would not have to search long either.

[0 points] 4 years ago by deleted user ReplyLike I said Jonmarc, you believe your scientists I choose to believe the concencus of scientific community. to me it just seems logical that there is a finite supply of oil.
BTW living in Canada part of my taxes go as subsidies to the oil companies.
I had to up this comment as no opion should be hidden, no matter how silly it might be

[0 points] 4 years ago by deleted user ReplyCould part of the price rise be that the the US dollar has dropped and that countries like China and india (with 35% of the worlds population as opposed to the US 5% of the world population) want to fill up their tanks?
When I came to Canada from europe I was amazed how wastefull people are with energy, appartment blocks with no way to turn down the heat in winter so people had to open theur windows during a snow storm!
To this day I can not find a condensing clothes dryer (it has a heat exchanger build in so the hot moist exaust air preheats the air entering the dryer and the almost dry exhaust air can be vented indoors)
More like too little, too late.
Yep, no doubt about it! We've been messing things too much since the Industrial Revolution and only very recently have countries begun to realize and address the problem. And it's particularly disturbing to see the World's biggest poluters - USA followed by China - failing to ratify the Kyoto Protocol, dragging their feet instead of adopting urgent measures to reduce their shameful carbon dioxide emissions.
my conservative friend in the 80's constantly derided gore for advocating the internet before it was a household word. he called it a total waste of money and "welfare for geeks" the trillions it has paid back into the economy and the way it has changed all our lives was well worth the $11B investment, equal to just 11 days in iraq.
I cannot wait until we democratize energy in this world. we won't be paying thousands of times more per kw then we have to like we are right now because we get power based on 19th century power plant technology. we seriously could have our energy, and thus our transportation, for thousands of times less money, and that cannot come too soon.
and yes. it WILL be a money maker. for all of society. not for a select group of oil company owning cronies. and isn't that the way it should be?
