Bill Gates - Buy the Rainforests

[old.Jas]

I doubt it, but its a nice idea - http://www.petitiononline.com/raingate/petition.html

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Wtf??
If Bill gates bought all the word's rainforests, he'd start covering them in growth chemicals, and he'd persuade the US' entire power industry to switch to wood power, then chop down the trees and sell them!

Bill Gates is no world saviour.

If deforestation continues at its present rate, South America will be a desert by the 2040's

Actually this is untrue.

 

[Stazbumpa]

However Madagascar will run out of forest by roughly 2010. this IS true.

And we will only bemoan the passing of the rainforest and want to try and save it when its far too fucking late. Scientists have been screaming the warnings for years and nobody fucking listens.

Yes, untrue. Most of the South American rain forests are still in pretty good shape. Especially the Amazon.

Dunno about the rest of the world but Ferngully only taught me to care about the Amazon cos it's speshul and majick !

 

[old.cheaten]

Bill Gates is a fucking (Excuse the lanuage) Capitalist bastard (Excuse the lanuage agian).

Nope - they produce oxygen. You know, that stuff you breathe

 

[Summo]

Oxygen is overrated.

*sigh*


It's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy crap.

 

[Nibbler]

Tree hugging hippy crap's over-rated

 

[Summo]

Spelling overrated with a hyphen is overrated.

 

[Wij]

um - only young trees produce oxygen. and the animal life they provide shelter for uses it up again. many types of forest are actually net oxygen takers. including rainforests. all the important stuff happens in the oceans. anything that happens on land is pretty insignificant as far as the environment goes.

*peanut Wij's tie*

*shove Wij into girl's toilets*

*empty Wij's bag into school pond*

Actually that was Big Irene's bag that I was holding for her. She's the one with the hairy forearms and enormous fists heading your way.

 

[Summo]

Fuck.

 

[caLLous]

They don't call her Big Irene for nothing y'know.

 

[Wij]

Yes, she's big and her name is Irene !

Summo's gonna get beaten up by a girl

I still say if the Rain Forest goes, the planet is fucked. In fact the planet is fucked anyway, humans have it in their nature to destroy everything unless they can eat it or fuck it.

I doubt that there will be anything humanoid to see in the year 3000. To be honest, I doubt there will be anything to see in the 2500 at our current rate.

..... and by 2100 all the glasses in the world will be half empty ............

 

[Stazbumpa]

We'll see.

 

[Munkey-]

My arse. i intend to put drinking establishments outta business

 

[bodhi]

No we won't. As by 2500 I'm guessing we'll both be dead.

 

[Stazbumpa]

Quite correct in your own pedantic way, but I meant in a generalist sense.

 

[WPKenny]

Well, it's only taken us 40 years to go from not being in space ever, to the production of a large scale space station.

I don't think it'll be a problem moving to the moon or where ever within a couple of centuries.

It wouldn't surprise me if sci-fi film;s predictions of the earth becoming a big barron rock while we move off into space an colonise planets.

Have a look at how quickly we've progressed this century. At the start of it cars that barely went over 5mph where just rumours, now look at us.

but also withit came the first instances of Serial killing, the bottom of human deficienes and above all.........kez
