Your utterly stupid if you really belive there is not such thing as global warming. Every scientist in the world agrees there is, they just don't agree on whats causing it.

a) because not many people go to the north pole

b) because they are known to stalk people, anyone that does go to the north pole carries a rifle.

Oh, and 8 people have been killed in canada alone in the past 30 years...so double check your facts.

@dissinitbig , In the whole of the twentieth century there have only been 3 polar bear killings, 1st, people throwing stones at one,2nd, someone trying to fuck one and third i can't remember.....just saying.

Ha, that was in my reply originally, but I needed extra space. But I assume at least transport fuel would be taken into account.

Yes, it's not easy to work out in the slightest. But it hardly seems worth it, especially since it's more expensive, usually worse quality and any pollution reduction (if at all) doesn't seem significant.

OK, how about the production of the fertilisers and pesticides (which have other harmful effects, of course), the tractors or whatever spreads them, the machinery required to fell the trees, the lorries to transport them to lumber yards and then on to pulping and paper production. That's a lot of fuel burning too. Plus you have the fuel involved in maintaining landfill sites assuming we don't recycle that paper after we're done, of course.

Not an easy calculation to work out which is worse!

Besides, polar bears are ruthless man hunters and eaters which rip apart cutsie wootsie seal pups, not charming fellows in hats.

Consider this. To recycle that paper, trucks have to go round and collect it, using more fuel than needed to initially deliver it. Then it goes to a plant were it has to undergo various processes etc

Ever wonder why recycled paper costs so much more than "new" paper?

Wikipedia covers it. Even though electricity is saved on some parts it "may actually consume more fossil fuels", depending on how many factors you look at.

So it's not clear cut, but it IS wiki...
