I fully support activism and I'm totally going to buy a bike tonight.
Don't forget to remove the seat.
The old hippie promise of promiscuity is a pipe-dream in today's modern age. In today's workaday world, you can't be a hippie and a *****.
Also, post pics.

Someone how a bike seat doesn't sound like the comfiest bit of furniture to smash a bare-*** down on to.

Montreal, the perfect town to go naked on sunny days. I love my town.

There is a link to 33 pics in the op's pic. It goes from the bicycle event (with censor bars) to PETA strippers boycotting a zoo to a Miss Philippines pageant for some environmental cause. I would have kept looking past that but I suddenly lost all my stamina.

They do this every year on my college campus on Earth Day. Well, except that the naked people have painted themselves green.

I did find this bit amusing, especially in the context of the OP Title.
The idea of a group of environmentalists treating the substance that trees need to breathe like it's nuclear waste or something just reinforces my opinion that most people really have no freaking clue...

What's really ironic about that is that the lungs produce nothing but carbon-dioxide. If he was really dedicated he should have carved them out and burned them in protest.

I really do think that the whole Global-Warming/Carbon-dioxide thing was started as a joke like the Dihydrogen-Monoxide thing, and some prominent politicians bought it, and a bunch of people in the media bought it, so everyone has to keep pretending that it's a real threat so that they don't become the butt of the joke... Lunacy!

Some people appreciate the concept of dosage as pertaining to the borderline between nutrition and poison.

Dude. I post a link with pictures of naked nature chicks and THIS is what you see?

I'm not sure if anyone rode up here, but the police chief threatened to charge every single one of them he saw with indecency. In Colorado, at least, a conviction could require the person to register as a sex offender.

Which, quite frankly, is retarded. Why the hell is society afraid of naked people?

In all fairness some people should never be seen naked.

But why not? Are they truly any less disgusting clothed? I don't think so. I think we're just programmed to believe that. If we didn't have these stupid rules it wouldn't bother us, in fact, people would be more likely to take care of themselves.

Way I figure, nothing America or the other first world nations does to reduce their own carbon production, is going to be enough to make a blip in the amount of carbon being put out in the world. Especially with third world non-compliance, and continuing increasing human population.
More realistically, we should try and figure out a way to consume the carbon we are producing. Let's get creative here. Maybe something like a butt-ton of skyscrapers made out of grass pallets? I'm pretty sure for the cubic space it takes up, certain types of grass consumes a ridiculous amount of carbon. And we can totally water them with greywater.

Okay my idea sucks. Let's do this instead.

It has nothing to do with being programmed. I'm not talking about average chubby Joes. There really are some disgusting things that clothing hides very well. Rules have nothing to do with it. Removing them doesn't make things any less bothersome. Cigarette smoke bothers me. They could allow people to smoke wherever they want, it won't change the fact that I can't stand it. I also can't stand the smell of coffee, but there's no rules against it.

Right. America isn't willing to take the risk of an economic hit by reducing carbon emissions significantly, but spending hundreds of billions on skyscrapers full of grass? Of course! If it wasn't obviously a bad idea then I'd look into how long it'd take for the grass to consume the carbon used to build the skyscrapers. Simply reforesting large tracts of land would be more effective and much cheaper.
No offence, but geo-engineering plans tend to be incredibly impractical. The only ones which work at all (fertilising algae with iron, sulphates in the atmosphere, reflective crops) have a fairly small impact on the climate and are, at best, useful to buy more time.

I vote we use shag carpet instead. Cover entire cities with it.

Hi. When people in 'the third world' start to produce waste on scale that even begins to aproach the amount that is produced by those in the west, then you would have a point.
As it is you are blowing more gas outta your butt in that post than the average 'third worlder' does in a whole year.

But those people don't normally paint a "ban" symbol over the substance in question...
Elinda: As far as your chart goes. We have absolutely no idea if that progression of atmospheric carbon dioxide is a completely normal part of a longish term cycle or not. None. I'll ask you the counter question: Do you know if that much carbon dioxide is "bad"? The alleged connection between CO2 levels and global temperatures is tenuous at best, and that's really all anyone has to go on right now. There is nothing other than correlation between them, the correlation goes in the other direction (temperature changes precede CO2 levels, not the other way around), and all models attempting to define a mechanism by which CO2 might cause temperature changes have pretty massive holes in them.
It really is like a joke gone horribly awry...

Damn it Gbaji, this is a thread about clothing optional protests not about the environment. Go make a new thread.
