Meet the people who are killing the planet (and putting an end to "global warming is a myth"

THANK YOU!

I love that this article brings to light the fact that we are more stuck on our different points of views about the "global warming debate" and playing the right or wrong game than actually working together to salvage our home. Its childish and ridicolous, its like stading in a burning house with a friend arguing about what could have started the fire instead of simply putting the fire out . So at the end of the day it doesn't matter who was right or who was wrong cause the our home will have been destroyed. Lets concentrate on the undeniable truth, yes, undeniable fact that most of the planets population treat the earth like $%!t. Simply put its about individual responsibility.

I probably have a broader definition of 'politics' than most people ... I mean politics (hopefully) in the manner Foucault would - being critical of mainstream, social institutions and by analyzing power relationships.

A magazine taking a stance against environmental agitators on non-recycled paper squarely fits that definition.

But the real issues here are hypocrisy, ignorance and greed.

I need to see more damage(evidence) that there are serious repercussions of high co2 levels. Once Florida is gone I will reevaluate the situation.

This isn't a political issue.

Exactly! Stick to music and musicians and leave the politics to us!!

Great quote. Just goes to show, maybe a music magazine shouldn't be commenting on the environment...

It's not about global warming or cooling- one can create whatever one wants to 'see'. We are all killing the planet, it's just that some are willing to take responsibility for their actions. This is called a paradigm shift, what it comes down to is not an us and them issue. It's about when it happens for you, not to you... it really is the journey of many that bring us all back to each other, especially now. It's really quite imperative to allow each unique individual journey to find it's own way.

monsanto, shell... i could go on

But yet the title of this states, "meet the people who are killing the planet"... It is us we are killing by our own hand. But it's a waste of time trying to get certain people to even understand that at this point. We should have passed that point years ago. If all we are going to do for the rest of this year is continue to pander to those who won't and don't want to get it anyway, we certainly will then reach that tipping point.

PirateSause~ You raise an important point. So often times we misuse our words (I can be accused of this) and say, "save the planet". The planet will be fine~ I'm more worried about it's inhabitants.

Thanks for this article leahl ...

".......Would we still get the same number of people saying, “Healthy planet is a myth!!” "

Probably, although I love it when I am wrong. The denial of this situation, no matter what the cause, and the denial of what we put in our bodies and environment affects us, is a similar consciousness - an archetype of person whose "vision" and sensitivity is suppressed, along with an inability to be able to see past one's nose (this is where having a large nose could be advantageous), goes along with an unconscious reasoning to enable one not to take responsibility or action - many addictions people have are wrapped about the "products" "fast food" "quick fix give me somethin' material and cheap now so i feel o.k." that are a large part of the problem.

Fast food, television, toxic food, bad pharmaceuticals and other elements all contribute to a mental haze that does not enable the human mind to cognize and make connections either about the planet or their own bodies. Whilst their heads are buried in network television and stuff like aspartame and flouride coursing through their brains and bodies you will be able to observe a person who is not able to function fully - there is a "deadening" of the senses, a dulling of awareness - the bright spark we each have is flattened.

Only my opinion (and i know nothing), but time and focus is better spent on taking positive action (in integrity with planet and self) and analysis of what we can do in the now, immediately, and being that which we wish to see, is probably a lot more constructive than spinning our wheels in frustration at those who are not able to cognize the situation we are in. A wise friend once told me "you can' teach pigs to sing" (no offense to pigs meant here)...

Let us focus on the good and positive, the breakthroughs we have had, celebrate the gardens and sanctuaries we are creating for our insects, animals and plants... Focus on the love we can give this beautiful world, and not enable the frustrating inaction and ignorance of others to bring us down - the higher our collective energies vibe the better the chance we have of healing ourselves and this world we depend upon for life.

By the way, I see a lot more people being "positive" and conscientious than i did ten years ago... slow progress indeed when you see what is at stake (oops I don't need a scientist to tell me what is going on or what to do either), but let us keep the eye on the ball of light we do have going on....

And you are exactly one who that title above defines.

Enough with the global warming bullshit. It's COLD and the planet is going to be just fine. Don't be ignorant and think some humans are going to KILL the planet after all these billions of years.

The planet is going to be here millions of years longer than all of us.

i hope it all goes up in smoke. there would be some undeniable proof in that and then policy wouldnt matter any way, just action, or rather, reaction. and therein lies the truth and most important point to the whole debate. do we want to put ourselves in the position of acting and possibly hedging the problem, or reacting once the damage is done. even if there is no big green monster lurking over the horizon do we benefit from being unprepared, and like the opinion of the article says, wheres the harm in a healthier planet.

We should be focusing on reducing land and sea pollution and preserving nature - global Warming is a big load of crap in my opinion.

the green cult marches again. its a wank magazine anyway

Healthy Planet that sounds great

I believe there are two kinds of people...Activists or Terrorists...If you don't choose your side, it WILL be chosen for you. Most of our water is polluted beyond repair and we are depleting more water than what can naturally be replenished. This is real people.

Do you know what it looks like when you die of dehydration? Ironically, it feels like you're drowning.

I can't support Rolling Stone enough right. I love that they named names and pointed fingers. I know there is a lot of debate about global warming right now but this shouldn't be about conservatives and liberals fighting for the sake of fighting. We all live on this planet and all you have to do is look around to realize it's polluted.

when you have healthy thinkers..you will encourage others to have thoughts about the planet...lets hope that is some time soon...?

I'm proud of Rolling Stone.

Verily, verily, very soon our earth will be a boiling pan or rather a real oven we shall all perish under the environmental degradation - let us all conserve our mother nature and avoid destroying it with impunity.

even if global warming is a myth, which I don't believe for a second, there is still all the extreme weather. Something's happening, and everybody would like to scream at the top of thier lungs about what is not causing it rather than try to figure out how we can live with the changes. It's time we all opened our eyes and took a good look around. Record cold, record heat, massive storms, massive earthquakes, too much snow, not enough rain disease and famine. When is everybody going to realize that while the human race is extremly adaptable, we're not going to be able to withstand these changes without some serious changes ourselves.

I suppose the first response here gave you your answer. I give up talking to these 'idiots.' And yes, I namecalled because after YEARS of talking 'nice' and backing it up with facts, I think it IS actually time to call it like it is. They are liars, shills, and accomplices in crimes against nature who are destroying this planet for the future with their political and ideological Idiocy. And I WILL fight them, unlike those who seem to think being 'nice' is going to work at this point. And that includes the deniers on this site who are given interviews and treated like stars here but who don't contribute anything of substance. What does this planet and the future of our species really mean to us? Who are we? Is it all just play acting here?

I want to find these people who experience global warming cause the temperatures going down for the past 10 years. The book published by the founders of the Club of Rome in early 70's stated that the idea of Global Warming "would fit the bill" of uniting humanity against itself.

"Greenies" are blind believers, just like communists, fascists and other mobs fascinated by slogans. No one will tell me that we are the main contributor to climate change and Sun is secondary. It's like saying that an ant can make changes to the landscape faster than an earthquake.

If you track the sources of "Global Warming" theory, its "facts" and its promoters history, you will see that these people are the the same who guide global economy and pollute when it fits their agenda.
