One square will save the world?

[dogzr#1]

I saw part of that movie The Inconvenient Truth during science class yesterday. It was wonderfully made, and kind of scary because you know this stuff is really happening as we speak.

As to your question Wombat, the reason we've had many Ice Ages and stuff is because of the amount of carbon dioxide in the air (or maybe it was carbon monoxide). Anywho, the amount of CO2 in the air coincides with the temperatures. Over to past 4.5billion years, things have been pretty steady. Yes, the CO2 levels have dropped before, causing an Ice Age, but they have always risen back to normal. However, in recent years, CO2 levels have skyrocketed. We aren't sure how bad this will affect the temperatures, but it most certainly will.

I can't explain all that I saw in the movie, so I highly suggest just going to rent it.

The earth has been undergoing fluctuations on a much greater scale than this for the past 4.5 billion years.

Now....you tell me what YOU think ??
Q. What caused the most recent ice age (40,000 years ago) to begin and end ????

GOD!!!

BUT if you really want to save toilet paper, when you do #1 you could just drip dry!!! [/B][/COLOR]

No thanks Moff. Tried that when I've found myself in a stall with no paper.

Well, sorry, but the world will just have to implode in a ball of horrible fire then. Because, NO, I LIKE my toilet paper, thank you very much.

Seriously, though ... come on. I have a reaaaallyyyy hard time believing the humble toilet paper square is the cause of the end of the earth. Slash and burn agriculture, nuclear waste, unregulated industrial pollution, gas guzzling vehicles ... I'm honestly thinking these things might have just a little bit to do with our environmental problems than toilet paper does.

LOL... Yes it's one of my guilty pleasures too! I do NOT want to live with out toilet paper. Quality toilet paper that is. I don't like the stuff that feels like sand paper rubbing across me bum.

I'm sorry. I can't spare a square. I have no square to spare.

Some will know where I found that

This is about like the cell phones killing gorillas in the poll area.

haha good one - you can't spare one square? Then I guess I will steal ALL of the TP!

But if you tear a square, then you'll have no spare,
But I don't care, I'm male, is that fair ??
Heheheh....Wom

[crow_noir]

LOL. My first reaction was "Gah!!!" but then i laughed I thought the episode was so funny.

But then i read Wom's reply. Now i'm wondering if you were quoting TV or prose.

In 100 years from now, none of the TP will matter.....................neither will this discussion. In the 1600s they already knew that the earth was going to end, same with the 1700s and the 1800s and the 1900s....

Fact is it will, not in our lifetimes though. Probably not in our progenys' ,collective as that is. Yes we have made a debacle of many things, but much of what is happening is natural occurence.

That said I will still use more than one square................

[crow_noir]

I try to convince people to only use two sheets (if it's two ply quality,) but asking people to use just one is extreme! That's a long wait on drip drying!

I thought I'd heard about everything in my life but I was wrong. According to Cheryl Crow, using only one square of toilet paper when you go to the bathroom will help save the world and stop global warming.
