The first step in love is to accept uncritically. And Jesus said we are to love, not just our friends, (people like us) but also our enemies (people different to us). I commend the thought to you all. Your quality of life will improve. You might even find you have inadvertantly entered the...

I heard on the radio yesterday that Ghandi said: the earth provides for everyone's need, but not everyone's greed. This debate, at it's meta-level, seems to me to be about our choice between need and greed. Best wishes, 2RM.

These instructions may have been entirely appropriate for a primitive bronze age tribe, as the ancient Jews then were, but their relevance is less in our age, I think. By the way, do you want to steward the Earth, or subdue it? The connotations are different. Best wishes, 2RM.

Sceptic or cynic? That question lodged, thank you for specifying your position. Best wishes, 2RM

Uh huh. But we are (arguably) wealthy because we can afford to service that debt. Best wishes, 2RM.

Agreed. Best wishes, 2RM.

Yes, I was more aiming at the method by which one may obtain answers; which is prayer and contemplation for matters to do with God, and scientific method for matters to do with science. But I do not think we disagree in any substantial way? It has been said (I forget by who) that all of science...

Seems to me these billionaires are doing very well restricting the rest of us simply by hogging the greater part of the Earth's resources. And that won't change until we proletarians realise that is the game they are playing, and decline to contribute to their economic system. Best wishes, 2RM.

Motive matters a great deal. It explains, if not everything, certainly a great deal. Ask any keen reader of murder mystery novels. Best wishes, 2RM.

They don't make the law. And whether you do, for yourself, and observe it is between you and your conscience. Best wishes, 2RM.

I am no expert on Mars, and whether or not and why it warms. The point I made on causation stands, though. Best wishes, 2RM.

Indeed so. There are questions for God, and questions for science. The starting point of wisdom is to be able to recognise which is which. Best wishes, 2RM.

It is more than possible for Mars to warm and the Earth to warm for entirely different reasons. Best wishes, 2RM.

Hypocrites galore? Name another, then. Gore though, is an interesting case. I understand he offsets his carbon footprint by planting trees. Does the forum think this is an adequate response? If not, why not? Best wishes, 2RM

So, just to summarise thus far, we seem to have split ourselves neatly into two camps; those of us who accept the conventional view of global warming/climate change, and those of us who think that view is motivated by political power plays amongst those who have something to gain (what...

Can't speak for the US, but here in the UK there are no such restrictions. And (subject to normal immigration rules) you would be welcome. Best wishes, 2RM.

Evidence, please. As for trees, they absorb carbon, so, why don't you do that, and plant some? Best wishes, 2RM.

That is so, but it need not be so. We have the technology to switch to clean power generated by clean methods. I guess that is where, if anywhere, the proposition varies between common sense and the political. Best wishes, 2RM.

Evidence, please! What makes you think that the science is politically motivated? Or do you depend on coal, oil or natural gas for your living? Best wishes, 2RM.

I am not a big fan of revelations; it smacks to me of an excess of magic mushrooms. But, since the first nuclear bomb exploded, I think we have been on borrowed time. If I was forced to choose, then, it would be for payback just around the corner. Best wishes, 2RM.
