yea, I agree. Man is surprisingly resilient. Even a large asteroid may not wipe us out entirely. I mean, you've got people living in 140 fahrenheit (60 celsius) up to -40 fahrenheit (-40 celsius, surprisingly) or more.

lol, it will kill use eventually, if the meteor doesn;t hit first, I mean, if the O-zone layer finally packs in, were well and truly screwed

But the ozon layer won't. At least if Americans start using cars driving at least 1 to 10.

eh? Did arathorn's post confuse anyone else? Hmmm... didja know that cow farts account for more global warming then car exhaust? heh.

Yeah I know, but it's a little hard to stop cows from farting.
So we (and espescially Americans) should all drive better cars and kill SUV's.

haha, *joins in blaming Americans for everything that's wrong in the world*


grrr....you american, with your extra large polluting cars

hell, my car gets 30+ miles/gallon. What about yours?

that's 48kilometers/gallon, or 48km/3.79 liters, or 12.7km/liter. Phew. I love google's calculator.

hah, mine does about 35 miles/galleon

my dad's larger car whihc is infact diesel does about 30miles/galleon unless he's sat in traffic etc. which of couse makes it do less

Man I wish Sir Vivor was here. I loved my discussions with him about America...

Hmm.... we should search for him....

i've looked, can't find him. or sarus.

World population is the major factor here.

And the fact that people change their names.....i.e. bj is now tyranus

hell they may even be looking for you right now .....though why anyone would want to find bj is questionable

the ozone layer will go eventually. And even though I love blaming americans, its not just them that cause it. It's got freaking massive holes in allready, (which last time the calculated, will take 4 years of zero pollution to "re grow") temperatures are getting hotter, ice caps are melting. we'll eventually drown, be swallowed by the sun (not in our lifetime) or die from heat. Sounds like hell on earth.

Defeatist bullshit. Last year the (only!) hole in the ozon layer grew a little, but the years before that it got smaller.
Temperatures may be getting hotter, but that's been going on long before the industrial revolution, look at a Dutch painting from the 16th century, always big ponds and rivers frozen and people skating over it, later that vanished, the CO2 emission only speeds things up.
And as you say, being swallowed by the sun will take a few billion years.
Don't believe everything Greenpeace tells you. If there's one thing green activists can't do is a scientific calculation.
