The Dodos: Environmental Fools

It's not easy being green, so why bother? According to My Bloody Valentine's Kevin Shields the environment has probably already been destroyed by global warming and everything else. Happy Earth Day, fools! Watch the full video interview with The Dodos at: http://www.uncensoredinterview.com/artists/139-the-dodos

The planets go through cycles in the solar system depending on distance from the sun, these include what's happening now and the ICE AGES. We can't stop it... Global warming is a huge business, contrived, dreamt up, fabricated. Another way to take your money and sell you back your garbage you personally sorted through for them. A big diversion, get everyone focused on it and take their money at the same time. "The greatest thing the devil ever did was convince the world that he didn't exist".

Amen to that brother, they make you feel guilty for driving a car while the attention is taken away from real environmental issues like the destroying of the rainforests for soy plantations(hope you veggies fell guilty) and the pollution of the rivers in Indonesia by the huge paper mills etc

Further and more accurate studies have proven that the last period of ice-free condition in the Antarctic ended about 6000 years ago. There are still doubts about the beginning of this ice-free period, which has been put forward by different researchers as everything between year 13000 and 9000 BC. The Piri Reis map shows that the northern part of that continent has been mapped before the ice covered it... So if you go by climate scientists, some civilistaion mapped it 1 million years ago???

[Waxthumper]

@DanciinsenOrita I appreciate your comment but with all due respect climate scientists can report to my anus with their theories. Current academic consensus regarding the origins of human civilization as well as the earths history are wildly inaccurate and still debated. The Piri Reis map shows northern coast of Antarctica perfectly detailed 300 years before it was discovered.Last time it could have been charted in an ice free state was 4000BC.. climate scientists say it's 1 million years old.

[DanciinsenOrita]

@Waxthumper see what you are describing is Milankovitch Cycles and your theory would work...if we weren't technically in the middle of an ice age.

search up Kirk Maasch or any other climate scientist..."we're still in the midst of the third major cooling period that began around 3 million years ago"

The point of going green isn't to unfuck ourselves. It's an effort of trying change the Earth's natural cycles closer to back to where they would be without of the harm we caused. Just because some people are trying to make money off it doesn't make it a bad idea.

In no way if we are fucked that makes an excuse for us to fuck ourselves more. It's like a cancer patient drinking himself away because he has cancer. That's apathetic and pathetic.

@nostradamusdude I just don't get that at all from what he's saying. "Do whatever you want" is definitely not someone whose life embodies any concept of a 'mutualistic relationship' with the earth. Most people have reservations with certain actions for reasons of personal preservation. Part of 'going green' is protecting things like natural resources and food, but if people did whatever they wanted, those things would be raped in no time at all. We need to fuss and fume; it's important.

[nostradamusdude]

@DanLightning I don't think he means that we should rape the earth because we have dominion over it. I'd like to think that we have a mutualistic relationship with the Earth.. I believe he's saying that it's too late to reverse the effects, so there's no need to fuss and fume about what we have done to speed up the process.

@Waxthumper I wish every green dumbass in the world would read your comment. This is exactly what I try to explain to people when they talk about "going green" but they just don't seem to get through their thick skulls...

[CosChrono]

There is evidence of a greenhouse effect caused by certain gases, including carbon dioxide and water, and there is evidence that human activity has caused greater concentrations of these gases, therefore there is evidence that we are causing some warming. Whether it is all due to us of it is up for debate. However, in science the term theory doesn't mean hypothesis, a theory is backed by tons of evidence. There's nothing more sure than a theory in terms of proof. So it's not "just" a theory.

@dagnut -LIKE the destroying of the rainforests for soy plantations
