For AGW Believers; Do You Think That Your Drug Addiction Is Causing Climate Change?
Question by Romeo: For AGW believers; Do you think that your drug addiction is causing climate change?
Are those of you who use narcotics blaming yourself for climate change? If you blame coal, petroleum and deforestation, then why are you not doing something about your cocaine addiction?

It has always amazed me how liberals will point fingers and blame everyone else but themselves. I don’t believe that their addiction is causing warming, but I am sure that it is funneling billions of dollars to criminals in Mexico and other countries. Mexico has lost over 18,000 lives in the last three years fighting drug cartels. Mexico isn’t safe for tourism anymore.

“This has nothing to do with “liberals””
I personally don’t know any conservatives that use designer or non pharma drugs. Almost every liberal I know uses pot and black market designer drugs. I know because I frequent a hangout where the political environment is extremely liberal and people who talk to me feel comfortable talking about their pot use. I have made friends and they know I am a non user, so I suspect that some of them use felony narcotics, but aren’t willing to risk talking about it in front of me.
This is so good that I am putting it up for a vote. I want to see how the voting goes.

Wow I know that they reach way out into nowhere to find causes of warming but that is just getting ridicules they bring up several cases that are already a reach then try to pull in drug use to demonize it in a new way and work up a new hysteria to keep people distracted from the news coming out all the time that they have been fudging the numbers to build up the hysteria in the first place. If it was not such a serious lie to start with it would be funny to just sit back and watch all the odd ways they try to work people up.

Peoples ignorance contributes a whole lot more to global warming than someones cocaine addiction.
There is a difference between “causing” and “contributing.” Obviously global warming would still exist were it not for cocaine, but it happens that cocaine has a particularly high environmental impact in that “for every few lines of cocaine snorted in a London club, four square metres of rainforest is destroyed.”
This has nothing to do with “liberals”, nobody is finger pointing or shifting blame, it’s just an observation. It’s a fact that some products have a higher carbon footprint than others. You can’t really disagree with that.
