Global Warming is melting our Earth. People need to start thinking about our enviorment.

It is appalling that so many cannot recognize the distinct difference between Conservation (using only what you need, cleaning up your own mess, use it again if possible, etc.) and Environmentalism, which has become a loose organization of ‘believers’, which are more like religionists.

As the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts continue to slip deeper into the massive efforts to ’save the planet’, they naturally move away from their pledged and promised “Duty to God” because noone can escape the unspoken alternative that MUST exist, if Global warming were true, that:
1.God, the creator of Heaven and Earth, was out to lunch regarding Carbon Dioxide (CO2-a trace gas which makes up .0003% of our atmospere, a gas that people produce just by exhaling) and therefore is dumber than Al Gore
OR
2. God does not exist

The solution is obvious. God does exist and it is apparent from mankind’s lack of ability to create another universe, that He is infinitely smarter than anyone on earth and therefore any claims made the global warming religionists are admissions of ignorance or admissions of Idolatry.

This organization cannot profess a Duty to God and continue to embark on a path so clearly marked with inconsistencies and fallacies.

I beg the Scouting organizations and Boy’s Life to ignore the incessant hype and hysteria of the current environmental fad and reconsider their positions and policies regarding these weighty issues.

However, if you continue the attempt, there are some of us willing and able to blaze a new trail.

Everyone knows we can recycle paper. But why doesn’t everybody do it? well, if you don’t recycle, please start because we can make a difference; a HUGE difference. So start recycling now!!!

If you don’t want to recycle, you can help the Earth in other ways to!!!

If you don’t want global warming to affect you, you can choose to recycle, shut the water off when you brush your teeth, or you take a quick shower or bath.

I am surprised that this topic has generated a level of discord. Conservation of our resources has been around for years and great Americans have been supportive of the cause. Teddy Roosevelt realized that our natural places and resources were not inexhaustible. We know we will run out of oil at some point, why wait until it is gone before we develop an alternative fuel? Conserve, reuse, recycle. These do not sound like radical ideas. Our grandparents practiced these things. They did not through away things after they were used, they fixed them up and used them again. I am not a tree hugging hippie, far from it. It makes fiscal and environmental sense to not waste our resources, global warming or not.

CFL bulbs contain toxic mercury and cannot be disposed of in normal trash. They have to go into the special toxic waste collections. If they break in the house, you and your family are exposed to deadly mercury. How can they be better for our home environment?

I oppose your series which is trying to indoctrinate scouts into global warming hysteria. There is no way we are going to reduce carbon emissions just to please all such chicken littles. We need energy for our civilization. Or does BL advocate for the green elites to continue to have a modern lifestyle and everyone else is to become their serfs, living in one place their whole life without electricity? Wind and solar do not drive cars or put enough power into the electric grid.
