Vegarth!

If everyone lived like me, that would mean they would follow MY example, which means that I would be THEIR leader! That said, I wouldn't call it Earth, I would call it Vegarth! What sucks is that I feel I did pretty good on my quiz, but in the long run my people would still need at LEAST two whole planets. It's not surprising, but I think the quiz is wrong. I know my diet isn't the greatest, but I'm only 1.4 acres over the actual amount of productive land. So, with a little effort I'm positive we can cut that down to 4.5, because if you didn't you would face exeucution.
I also can't quite comprehend how this quiz evaluated my "earth consumption" with such a small amount of questions. I think if someone was to analyze just how much of the earth I use up they should come up with a real extensive survey that would focus on the most key and important aspects. You can't tell me I need two planets just by me answering like seven questions. The range of numbers they offer are freaking ridiculous as well. Do you travel between one to A MILLION miles daily? I admit I'm exaggerating, but still there's a big difference between even one and 5 miles.
I don't know exactly how I feel about how many planets I need. lol At least I can say I'm pretty close to needing 1?? The fact is that my people only live on one planet, so we're all going to have make do on Vegarth (earth). Oh and I can only imagine what those other none Vegarthians get as results. I can say in confidence that those non-Vegarthians can't settle for anything less than six planets. Don't worry though, if you pass my test I'll let you come live on Vegarth when I create it. ;)

The Inconvenient Movie

Now I know the purpose of watching this movie was to educate myself on the whole concept of global warming, but I just can't ignore how BORING this movie is! I'm already well aware of our contribution to CO2 emissions and the GHG's and how we're the only country who didn't participate in the Protocol, etc, etc. It doesn't make a difference how much more I learn about global warming, because I just reached the point where I stopped caring.
Of course it's a kind of overwhelming thing to grasp, but yes this is the reality that we have created for ourselves. And it's so clear that humans are not going to unite internationally to take care of this problem, even though this should be like the universal priority. Because of the fact that nobody is going to make an effort unless they, as an individual, get something out of it, I just stopped caring.
It makes no difference to me now, because people are just so hopelessly ignorant and so self-centered that I don't think there's anyway for global warming to be terminated. Even if a couple of continents passed a very successful movement, it would do nothing but postpone the inevitable degradation of this planet. And as soon as the losses begin...that's when the population as a whole will sadly, pitifully and desperately make a feeble, futile attempt to cure the virus we all helped create. I think this movie was great, because it really scrutinized global warming and made it painfully real, but for that same reason I think this movie sucked.
