Now, the striking fact is that absolute MOST of the people actually think the very same way but as soon as somebody speaks their mind this way, like you did, they immediatelly start playing all that "politically correct" bullshit and start bashing you!

I give you a positive feedback for the honesty and that you made me laugh :D

I still dissagree with your opinion, thou ;)]]>Jul 1st 2007 8:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/Jul 1st 2007 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/Jul 1st 2007 7:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/
I don't need Greenpeace telling me which electronic maker is the bad guy. It's push for donation and self-serving marketing.

Btw, I am not making even one dollar of donation for any Green this and that organization. Had they bother to tell us how much their director takes in remuneration?]]>Jul 2nd 2007 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/

To me, being greener is in many ways related 'global warming'.]]>Jul 1st 2007 8:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/Jul 1st 2007 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/
And obviously you are smarter then combined scientific community of the world who says otherwise. I love people like you who make such claims and have NO evidence to back it up. Its pretty much a foregone conclusion that we are the ones causing global warming. And you damn well better hope we are the ones otherwise we are fucked if for some reason the world's scientific community is wrong and its natural. Natural we can't effect and change. Man made we can do something about.

PS- let me guess....Republican right?]]>Jul 1st 2007 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/
Now for complete disclosure, although I have my masters in Climatology, I am not professionally active in the global warming debate. With that out of the way..

There is a danger in following a pack mentality when discussing sensitive subjects such as this; everyone has an opinion and few actually have any idea what they're talking about (this includes both sides of the debate).

I wouldn't discount global warming, but, even where I am now, I'm not going to spread the serenade that is man-made global warming. There should always, ALWAYS, be a degree of doubt in your mind, even when it appears most agree with the opinion, that is, unless you personally can confirm the correctness of the statement. You must remember, the greatest minds in history have been wrong, many times in fact. And when there are substantial obstacles preventing possible changes in opinion (including: politics, religion, money), important information can be discounted simply because it doesn't "fall in line" with existing information. This has proven to be a major factor over many years in delaying possible scientific breakthroughs. It’s called dogmatism.

You should realize, what’s “correct” in science today may not be what’s “correct” in science tomorrow. So assuming something is right/wrong when it’s very much being actively discussed in the scientific community can mislead you and others. Also, many scientists (such as myself) really only are knowledgeable about a very limited area of an otherwise vast subject, so it can be difficult, at times, to obtain a clear, wide-scale picture of what’s happening, even for us.

Again, I’m not trying to colnfirm/deny anything; I’m simply trying to refocus your thinking and try to disclose to you to the fact that everyone (whether it right or not) has their own bias going into the process (it can be quite motivating, as long as, again, it doesn’t approach dogmatism). You must know this and factor their finding accordingly with your own skepticism.

I tried to keep this short (because it’s obscenely off topic) and have left references off which may be useful/interesting. Let me know if you are interested.

Our cities are being turned into wastelands by smog and the dying of oxygen-producing vegetation within these cities. We're ruining our water supplies. We're tearing down our forests and consuming non-renewable natural resources. We're wiping out entire species of wildlife.

As human beings, whether we behave like a virus to the planet or not, we still have the imaginative mental ability to recognize patterns in the abstract, then change them. Your simple-minded attitude of sticking your head in the sand is a willful forfeiting of one of the GOOD aspects of humanity.]]>Jul 1st 2007 7:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/Jul 1st 2007 8:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/Jul 1st 2007 8:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/Jul 1st 2007 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/Jul 1st 2007 8:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/Jul 1st 2007 9:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/Jul 1st 2007 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/

You know, if compiz fusion can't render at 60 fps on your hardware, it may be able to just do less.

Personally I'm a conservative and I think it's BS, but what harm is there in a cleaner environment? And if it is us then all the better that we're trying to be "green".]]>Jul 1st 2007 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/greenpeace-rates-apple-lenovo-higher-sony-drops-to-least-green/
