| Message | Ok I disagree with the second your second point. Enough of this ecological, renewable, tree hugging crap. i will vote yes, but there is no way, our energy companies will be bending over backwards to satisfy the needs of a group of mentally ill hippies. OOC: I cannot stand all this environmental crap that those bug worshipers are shoving down our throats. The world is not warming, even if it were it would be a good thing and even if it was a bad thing it wouldn't be our fault because humans cannot alter the climate not even for one second. All this global warming hysteria is just put out by a bunch of retards just looking to make billions out of our taxes and donations from the UN |

| Message | OOC: I'm not too much of an ecology fan, but the truth is that pollution is serious, in the sense that it can have repercussions on biodiversity. But what troubles me more is that CO2 is bad for everyone's health, plus, when renewable energies are researched, the main cost is maintenance, which isn't very high (solar plants etc, after some years of research can have a very high energy production rate) |

| Message | OOC: Yes I know pollution is a problem but global warming/climate change IS NOT. In the Atmopshere, CO2 is about something as obscure as 0.000001% of all gases in the earth's atmosphere. CO2 is nothing to worry about and there is no way that humans can bring up the level of Co2 in the atmosphere that can actually make a difference to the climate. As I believe humans are more important than a plant or animal. |
