Should Boats and Snowmobiles be baned to help Global Warming?

[Dr Jello]

Boats and snowmobiles are just recreational toys owned mostly ** the rich. They don't add any value to people, they just pollute.

Do you agree that the environment is more important than a weekday fun time? And should boats and snowmobiles be baned in order to geduce ghg's?

[Steve S]

And you are a top contributor ? Use spell check for ` reduce'. And,
You tell Bush that he can't use his boat anymore in Maine.
So, who is the worst polluters ? Major industries such as oil, etc. or the people that work to pay government taxes [ when we don't even know where their money goes ]and wants to have their `freedom' after working hours . I take it you don't have any fun , Huh?

[?CrAzYinlove?]

i dont think so. y would u wanna stop having fun?? there r way more things u can stop doing besides that...

[Max A]

idk but people would get realy upset if they loved snowbording or snowmobiling or howev u say it but then they might go on strike or somtin but probrabrably not

Everything that is electronic puts off ozone the same thing that the unburned gas from a tailpipe turns to when hit ** sunlight! Do you want to get rid of all of that stuff too?

maybe we should sack society and all live ** campfires...Oh, wait!...That would be even more pollution....

[andrea c]

NOOOOOOOOO!!!! They'd be stupid banning boats...you know how much money is invested and earned with cruise ships?? besides boats are fun! oh and I've never been on a snowmobile...but I bet those are fun too!!

[gohangrdy]

No. I shouldn't even have to explain myself.

I heard on interview on the t.v.(Discovery Channel), and an environmentalist also proposed banning cars in city (why do we need cars when we have buses and subways) and airplane travel (do you really need that vacation in the sun, or to see you friends and relatives) With the Internet you can set up a conferencing call and you can all see mom and dad that way. At least we will not have that evil nuclear power

Banning cars and planes was a real suggestion. The last part is me being sarcastic. Please, I do realize that no serious proposal like that has been made, but it goes to show the extent of their fanaticism.

We don't need to ban anything to fight global warming. This is just denier nonsense.

We don't need to stop doing things.

We just need to do them smarter. Of course some idiots will go overboard. But, let's be serious. Here's the practical and affordable plan, worked out ** hundreds of scientists.

It doesn't mention snowmobiles. That's political crap. Note what's going on here. Since his "scientific" arguments have been shown to be absurd, he's trying to appeal to emotion.

Props to Phillip F for the best skeptic joke I've seen in a while. :-)

The climate cannot be more or less important than our weekday fun time, because nothing we do in our weekday fun time can effect any change in the climate.
