B-Man Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 Today, 1st of August 2018, is #OvershootDay which means that we have emitted more CO₂ than the Earth can absorb in one year, we have fished more fish than the seas can give life to, chopped off more trees than what forests can produce. Until December 31st we live on credit. Quote Cuffy @CuffyMeh 9h9 hours ago Overshoot Day was just dreamed up by the Hallmark Corporation to sell more Overshoot Day cards. Expand ?

Expand The funniest part of the entire straw ban is that it was based on a number giving by a 9-year-old child who, essentially, made up the number after calling a couple of straw manufacturers. Quote “The actual number of straws being used is unclear,” Reason magazine reported in January. “The 500 million figure is often attributed to the National Park Service; it in turn got it from the recycling company Eco-Cycle,” the report continues. “Eco-Cycle is unable to provide any data to back up this number, telling Reason that it was relying on the research of one Milo Cress. Cress—whose Be Straw Free Campaign is hosted on Eco-Cycle's website—tells Reason that he arrived at the 500 million straws a day figure from phone surveys he conducted of straw manufacturers in 2011, when he was just 9 years old.” Cress, who is now 16-years-old, told Reason that the National Restaurant Association has endorsed his estimate privately. That’s to his credit, but the problem remains: He appears to be the sole source for this number. Expand Only the left could threaten to imprison bartenders and waiters if they hand out a straw, all because of a 9-year-old's science project. But hey...I'm the pathetic one for laughing at these asshats, right Buftex? 1 1

Thurmal34 Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 It's well known that the planet heats and cools, who cares who's fault it is, etc?

Why the attempt to call me a liberal or turn the discussion political? The planet is heating up - indisputable. How can we work together to manage or at least mitigate? I mean what does this have to do with politics in your mind? (Respectfully asking)
