I was with him until the end where he said "time is on our side"....sorry, but time actually ran out to 'fix' this issue decades ago. Now the best we could hope for is to mitigate the damage and not continue to exacerbate the effects by adding more CO2 and other green house gasses. Once the ocean warms enough to melt the methyl hydrates, the oceans catch fire (warming them even more) and the methane both destroys the air and starts the super green house effect, sending us on the death spiral towards a Venus like atmosphere. It's getting really close, people. In some places it's already happening. Put your fire suits and gas masks on.

Funny how you "argue"....'you're absolutely wrong, and if your right I don't care' and 'I have more important and interesting things to do than argue', then you continue to argue. Just too funny, I guess that means you're done learning.
Tell Venus a planet can't 'die' from a runaway greenhouse effect. What I meant was die as a place where people and other 'higher level' organisms can live. Bacteria and waterbears can live with or without the planet, so they don't count.
Yes, the internet is full of crazy people, but you can change if you accept your insanity. I don't see that happening. :-)

I don't think anyone's advocating forced population control here.

I only think that people are advocating that a greater emphasis on family planning be incorporated into your prescription for everyone to "control his own activities and teach his neighbor the virtues of his infinitely sustainable choices."

Doing this too fast would be demographic suicide for a lot of complicated reasons, I don't think anyone is denying that, but a very significant organic reduction over the course of a few centuries would be beneficial for humanity and could be reasonably attained. It's certainly less far-fetched than mass colonization of Mars or Venus in the same timeframe.

And that's an important distinction here. We aren't really concerned about the environment here. We're concerned about what's best for us.

The environment is going to shrug us off and incorporate all our plastic, CO2, and evidence of narrowing biodiversity into a few more strata and continue doing its thing. It has survived mass extinctions before.

It's ridiculous to think that we can even destroy the environment. Our population size and its destructive effects would be reduced to insignificance long before we hit a point of no return and the biosphere's existence is even slightly threatened.

We should be framing the argument in terms of how to achieve an environmental equilibrium in which humanity can live in a comfortable and humane manner.

I think we're a lot closer to a point of no return with regards to achieving that goal.

For my money I'd say that exponential population growth isn't pointing us in that direction, and living - as I do - in a rapidly modernizing "second world" country tells me that bringing all eight billion of us to affluence too quickly poses its own significant dangers.

Let's not forget that this videos two main points are that we are demonstrably in a period of exponential growth, and that exponential growth from the limited perspective of the inside can be deceptive. Points of no return that seem far away are in fact very close.

was wondering if you still have this: Venus II: Penis Pump Infomercial
would be able to make me a copy if you still have it?

This tunes' from One Touch of Venus - Ogden Nash wrote the lyrics - My bad P&S, I'll go change that....YAY! Kurt Weill!!

By the way for all you would-be content creators on YT-I made this segment from a larger upload (complete concert) on YT by grabbing that video with the YTD Video Downloader then used the handy VLC media player record feature (shift+R) to record the segment I wanted from the download-Works dandy and it works for free.

...and here I was expecting Venus on a half-shell.

Obviously swamp gas from a weather balloon trapped in a thermal pocket and reflecting the light from Venus.

I wonder what the explanation is though. You know, apart from "Aliens.".

I think her Victoria Jackson helium voice is prolonging this painful period. I don't think this would have gone on so long if she had a Venus Williams presence. I mean, she has a child and she's NOT SURE IF SHE FEELS SAFE? Come on lady, grow a pair! Oh, wait...

Well you know I feel about anything Beefheart..

BIG EYYYYYED BEEEEEANS, FROM VENUUUSSS.....oh my, oh my!

I'm pretty sure I've done this before but just cause I'm weird lets do this again!

The guys name is Alex Kovas, he was in Rocknrolla as the Chechnyan who chases Gerard Butler into a tunnel and eventually captures him later. He's also a fitness model and he did this project with some artist guy, I think it's called Humanimal or something. Anyways it was featured on 'Community' with him as a dalmation in videos Dean Pelton was looking at. He's in a movie coming out called "Venus in Eros" but other than that I can't find much of anything else except his weird modeling...and his wikifur page, which I didn't even know wikifur existed. ENJOY!
