"Well well well, if its not our lovely uninvited guest Jason."

Thank-you, nice to be appreciated.

"Jason do you believe everything you read? You must have a lot of ulcers from wanting the world to be a perfect place."

No ulcers, but I am guilty of not wanting to f@*k up the planet too much for the next generation.

"The world will finally deteriorate from people using up all the natural resources."

I never made that argument. But yes, natural resources are not limitless, and the better we make use of them the longer they will last.

"This is not going to happen in any of our lifetimes."

Yes -- "It's not my problem" -- the SUV owner's anthem.

"Did you realize that the majority of oil is used as a necessity to heat homes in states with cold climates."

So does that mean we should leave our heaters on full blast in the summer?

"The HUMMER H2 is such a small percentage of the actual fleet that it really does not make a difference."

You have it backwards. The US is the biggest consumer of energy. Well over half the crude oil we import goes to transportation. Civil automobile transportation is the biggest part of that segment. The fastest growing and most wastful piece of that segment is the SUV, of which the H2 is the worst.
