I saw this on the cover of the METRO and I found it interesting to read. It basically said that 1,700 people died last year just from inhaling the air in the city. There are millions of chemicals released into our air daily....so really it boils down to the question: "what are we to breathe now??"

dagapman

its like a gas chamber eh

I think the air will be just as dangerous as cigarette smoke in like 5 years or so....

dagapman

brooklynhype

I think most of those deaths were people who had previous respiratory problems. It wasnt like these were random people who died from simply breathing the air.

Maybe....but really take time to think about all the stuff we burn and the gases things emit. We are killing our world, the air will soon go too.

Don't be so naive. We're not "killing our world." We're merely changing it from a state that we can survive on it in. This planet has been around LONG before us, and will continue to be around long after us. Long after we are gone, there will be no traces of us at all. everything we made came from the earth and will go back into it. Perhaps plastic will remain, but I am sure that the world will soon incorporate that into its next creations. Perhaps the only reason this planet made us, is so that it could have plastic.

The dinosaurs were destroyed by the planet, and anything that came before them. We're simply another thing the earth can destroy. It's already quite well at work on us. AIDS and all of these other terrible viruses are going to take us away. Some unknown time from now, thisp lanet will simply shake us off like a bad case of the fleas.

I'd fill that out more, but I'm on my way out of work.

PLUR,

Chip

Nice responce, I have not had that point argued in a long time. People just accept us as the desease, but as you say this world can just shake us off. I think its scary sometimes, because the world could choose to end us all at any point in time.

chipakapockets

No, you seem to misunderstand. It's not like the world is capable of shaking us off like a case of the fleas, it is in the process of doing it!

The plagues humans have experienced throughout their time on this planet, is an example of its less successful attempts at wiping us out.

Think of all the bacteria living all over the outside, and even inside, of your body. We are merely bacteria growing on the skin of this planet. Bacteria that it doesn't want around, because we're doing bad things to it. It wants us gone.

Like as you said above with the aids.....the earth is creating diseases for us so that the human race will end.

chipakapockets

Well, like I said... I'd fill it out more. I don't like making half points... I like making a full point.

yes but there are enough nukes to blow the world up about 20 times and if one country where to fire one then it would start a chain reaction and there is not much the earth can do about that i agreewith everything came from earth but it things can destory it as well.

There aren't enough nuclear weapons to destroy this planet. Don't be so naive. There are enough nuclear warheads to remove life as we now see and know it from this planet. As I said before, the planet has been here much, much, much longer than we have, and will continue to be here, long after there is no trace of us at all. To completely destroy this planet, you would have to create an explosion larger than, to any knowledge I have, humankind is capable of creating. You can destroy life on the planet, but not the planet itself.

PLUR,

Robbis29

that is true they was tired they dont make a big explotion but they would kill all hummens, but the coch roachs would survive.

chipakapockets

Only for a little while... they need food, you know... and with no food, eventually they would starve off, too. They still depend on other living things for food.

You know, I thought it was nearly four or five times that a couple years ago during those two heat waves when the smog stagnated over Toronto and I couldn't see my sister's window from my office...

Yeah, but as the years grow on, small problems get blown grossly out of proportion by the media. It's fucking sick. Some of these things we see in the news... they've happened before in the past (even within the last decade) with the same fatality numbers, or even greater... and they weren't blasted all over the news and everywhere else. Jesus H. Christ, get a handle on it, people. When things get "worse," you'll fucking KNOW it. LoL.

Well, at least in Ottawa, all through the GTA smog advisories (and cottage country too--those two-stroke engines are baaddd), we almost always maintain green air quality...

Sexy.kitten

almost always....how about always up until now.

HuMbLeBuMbLe

dude the air in Toronto is extremely clean compaired to NYC and cities like that..come on people this is hard to believe. when i went to Toronto I thought it was the cleanest city i've ever been to!

evangelos_gq

Denver is lucky... since we are right next to the Rocky Mts... the air the swoops down takes our "brown cloud" as we call it and blows it east to Kansas.

Unfortunately I have no documentation to back this up, but I do recall a reference to air in Los Angeles being worse than second hand smoke. It may however have been from a science fiction novel -- the mind blurs.
