I went to university for FCKEN 4 years to be lied too. The amount of emmisions that humans emit is nothing compared natural occurring events. Our impact is so insignificant that it is ridiculous. For argument sake say we do have an impact and we need to change our carbon footprint, What do we do start recycling? Recycling is the biggest scam ever. I get so angry talking about this topic because it is a load of shit.

the "smartgrid"and a new cell tower and free wifi added daily are killing everything in their paths,and if you dont start listening,no one will give birth to a healthy child in 10yrs IF theres a planet left at all.between the smartgrid and gmo food we are doomed
