Title: A Perfect World Defined by Most
Post by: Tim Johnson on August 05, 2012, 08:03:57 PM
Imagine you're in a room with groups of different people with different causes.

Some of these groups and individuals are doing things you don't like.

You get the most powerful in the group to force everyone to do only things you and a few others like. Those who don't obey are killed.

The End.

Imagine that some of those things that are being done that some people don't like are inexorably killing us all.

Imagine people taking control of their own lives and creating their own ecosystems.

So we're going to talk about ecosystems then? There is Tim Johnson before he understands what ecosystems are, and in the future, there might be Tim Johnson who understands more about ecosystems. I believe you're still the "Before" version of Tim Johnson.

Organisms depend on their environment. Humans can alter and create new environments.

Stop pontificating about stuff you don't know anything about.

1. Where did the source material for that project come from?
2. Do you understand the dynamics of a greenhouse vs. say the Biosphere project?
3. What is the internal volume of that project and the quantity of ecosystem services it provides?
4. Explain how it provides ecosystem services to humanity.
5. Explain how it is different from a rainforest ecosystem, assuming you are able.

You can live in a well-protected greenhouse and prevent others from infringing on your airspace, animals and plant life.

You have not addressed my questions.

Tim Johnson,

I believe you were going to address my questions above?

Oh man! you said the E-word in front of FA. Big mistake. Now you get to learn all about edge effects and why the state should use violence to force people to hug trees.

Love the OP, by the way. Just emailed it to a bunch of people.

Observing my actions and pointing them out is not the same as refuting them.

No, but it makes for good humor.

What I want to know is, how much carbon had to be consumed in order to build that greenhouse, and how long would it take to sequester that much carbon by growing plants inside it?
