Trilby Lundberg's completely backwards views on oil usage

Unread postby dolem98 » Wed 11 Jul 2007, 20:19:53

From the article:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')'m hoping that consumers will see through the rhetoric about consuming less, demanding less, as faulty. It is not a given that consuming less will be good for our economy or for our personal freedom. It is not even established for our environment that we [should] deprive ourselves of gasoline for our personal mobility as well our commerce.


There are lots more gems.

Maybe he's a neocon plant? Meant to convince us that the peak which we know happened nearly 2 years ago hasn't had the dire effects we see around us every day?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')I don't accept it[global warming] as established fact, nor do I accept that it would be caused by petroleum consumption, nor do I accept that the human species should not affect its environment. So even if it were someday to be shown to have some small effect on the environment, I see no crime. In fact, taking into account the many, many millions of people around the world that envy our way of life, it would seem more humanitarian to wish them the kind of plentiful petroleum products and vehicles ... that we enjoy ... to lift themselves out of [a] backward, poor way of life.


She doesn't "accept" these things, and to her there's no crime, and let's pile some more corpses on the bandwagon. This woman is just the product of our civilization and will be completely shocked when things just keep getting worse.

Either that or she's in the know, has a bug-out place ready, and is trying to pump some more fees from clients for a few more years. It doesn't really matter, she's just spreading conucopian balderdash that will just make us hit the wall harder and faster by reassuring the masses to keep driving. I'm starting to count on that happening at this point. Nobody wants to believe their cushy lifestyle is coming to and end, and consequently they'll do nothing to prepare.

Oh, and I don't usually pay attention to trolls, PraiseDoom, but had you even bothered to look at the article you would have seen that Trilby is a woman. I guess that's why you think everything is hunky dory, you never follow links.

Virus's. Trojans. Hidden forwarding url's, endless popups, porn links, etc etc. And it happened to me here. So no, I don't follow links provided by the wonderfully altruistic here at PO.com.

At least until the Russians are all struck stupid and can't break into the MySql databases around here ( or whatever they use when this all happened LAST time ).

This broad is an attention whore getting her mug in the news every week by basically feeding the press stats from AAA. I hear her all the time on the radio.

Meanwhile, her bro is one of the best peakniks out there.

Man, your not wrong about the brother being the opposite.

He heads an organisaqtion effectively devoted to the annihilation of cars. One of the principal suggestions is the forcible removal of paved roads hence the name of his band the Depavers.

I guess they either have very interesting Christmass get togethers or simply haven't talked for a decade or more.

Virus and trojans? On CNN's website?

And why do you worry about that stuff? Aren't you using a safe browser like Firefox?

My guess is they dont speak. I cant imagine how any conversation or gift giving can occur with such different (public) worldviews.
