I'm listening to the radio the other day, and for shits and gigs I turned on some conservative christian talk show, and they were bitching about environmental laws and shit when some red neck calls in and says "We can pollute and tear up the planet all we want, because god made it for us. In the end, Jesus will set things right."
Thank The Flying Spaghetti Monster that I live in a blue state.

Yeah, that's a very, very old meme that was held by many organizations, including the Southern Baptist church, until very recently. Even today global warming deniers are a dime a dozen; as long as climate change is a "liberal idea", we're going to get rabid people like that.

This is so stupid, whats the harm in being green. I mean the least you can do is make sure everything is turned off before you go to bed. And it saves you that little bit of money as well

Look how pissed off god got for eating a damn apple. What do you think he's going to do to your ass when he finds out you trampled his flower beds, pissed in the fountain, and took a dump in the gazebo?

The environment these fools are polluting is the same one we live in, even though they seem to be in their own little world. |

Somebody needs to tell these people that there are now no scientific professional bodies which reject the IPCC's conclusion.

Really. Some dumb fuck actually said that. I'm amazed at the level of stupidity red necks have.

You'd at least think that these guys would realize that spewing toxins into the air, water, and ground is bad for us individually, regardless of what it does on a global scale.
I'm gonna go take a shit in one of these assholes' refrigerator and see if they have a problem with pollution then.

You know, it's one thing if you believe that privately. I mean, you're entitled to believe whatever you want. But I'm shocked that we live in the world that you can not only have that opinion and voice it, but to ANNOUNCE IT ON A RADIO STATION and not be worried that you'll get your miserable ass laughed off the fucking planet.
Ugh.

Reagan's... I think it was Secretary of the Interior, although it may have been someone else, actually made high-level - obviously, as a cabinet member - decisions, including environmental, on the basis that the Rapture would happen within twenty years and we should rape the hell out of the Earth before that happens. EDIT: Or maybe not. |

Well, Captain Hooker, that's their selfless Christian attitude, now isn't it? As long as there won't be any long or short term consequences for themselves, everyone else can go rot. And they don't need to admit that there could possibly be any consequences at all & play it safe, because taking something like the fate of many, many human lives into consideration is still showing doubt, & therefore sinful, & we just can't do it. Disregard their liberal use of Pascal's Wager, it's perfectly reasonable to stamp your foot & shout that you can't be wrong--IF you're a True Christian, which you are, & everyone you disagree with is not.

Here's my thing though, whether you believe in global warming or not doesn't mean you should just go about polluting. In the extremely unlikely event that we find out that global warming isn't happening, are we really going to be sad that we didn't pollute up all our air and water?
To me the whole, "Well it's ours to use up and Jeebus is coming to take us away anyways." doesn't even make sense if you believe that. It's a bit like saying to yourself, "Well this swimming pool is going to be closed down permanently at the end of the day, so I'll just go ahead and piss and shit in it now." Even though the pool is being shut down, you still gotta swim around in your own shit until that time.
