6th extinction

What does this mean?

widespread adoption of non carbon based energy sources

I'd like to see widespread adoption of the desire to simply use less energy.

That probably belongs in the first list though.

 

It's a movie!  (Apparently, Joe has a penchant for crappy German vampire apocalypse movies.)

But I love eating carbon! You want to take my carbs away from me?

How many more years are we talking here? What is your age bracket?  If your in your 80's this is very different than if your in your 20's. 

Here is where, if I had a shred of discipline or common sense I would resist the urge to mention Carbon.

My bike ride today was powered by Carbon.

There have been women presidents. Just not in this country, yet.

I just love the way this thread went way off on a tangent. So back to the main point.

My 3 favorite ethnic food genres (all carbon based, mind you):

Italian

Mexican

Chinese

Mediterranean

Indian

Joe, I'm afraid that is going to take someone with more advance math skills to keep this thread on course.

That said, I sort of share your list, except I'd replace the Chinese with Thai and then reverse the order.

Thanks Tony, you made my day. I never could balance my checkbook.

We've had the technology for solar and wind since the 70's but keeps getting squashed by big oil.

I'd vote for a women President as long as it's not just a prop to show the world we elected one.

I voted for Obama and it made history but the underlying racism associated has made the govt. a clusterpuck.

Well, solar and wind are still a little too expensive and unreliable for widespread commercial use, but hopefully we'll see some quantum leap breakthroughs in the not too distant future, in one or more areas. Not that I'm very concerned about the situation, other than the fact that the destiny of human civilization hangs in the balance.

I think the Obama experience has really exposed the hypocrisy and greed of the repugnicans and they will pay for it. I don't think they will be able to gerrymander themselves out of this one either.
