@JESUSISTHEONLYESCAPE …I fear you’ve maybe misunderstood those scriptures, the ones that are talking about the anti-christ, they mention also that many will claim to be or have claimed to be..and in 1 John 2:18 it clearly states that when you know of this you must know that it is the last hour. Verse 22 lets us realize that we must come to know Jesus’ father who is in fact God Almighty.
Jesus’ fathers name can be found in any bible in Psalms 83:18.

Brazilian people have the right to do whatever we need to do it. The same way, the BP has the right to explore oil …spilling all over Mexico Gulf.
Just rich Countries have the right to explore the available resources? REMEMBER: GLOBE WARMING IS A JOKE!!!!
Hey! Welcome to NEW WORLD ORDER, soon the Anti Christ will appear and all the resources will be availabe to him so he can control everything and everybody . NO PURCHASES WITHOUT THE MARK OF THE BEAST WILL BE ALLOWED!!.

if we legalized the production of hemp, the uses for the plant alone could out source the uses of trees and we could end deforestation. why cant the US just quit being bitches and legalize hemp. fuck it legalize all forms of cannabis. the world would be so much better as pacifists

@artgirl3001 we (americans pay them for food they farm and the trees they cut down. yes it is them cutting but we buy there products they make from cutting them down , so if we were not big consumers we are, they would not cut down forest to feed us. dumb ass

Please watch my video.
It’s about climate change, earth catastrophe and our planet as we lives in.
Recent Earth catastrophes, it’s about Earth Changes – Continental Drift: One huge continent became 2 continents,
then 5 (or 6) and then?

The standard Houses of americans and europeans is wood made houses, and Brazilians ( ‘the ones who owns Amazon ‘ ) none of them lives on wood made houses so, stop building your country economy with our wood then amazon will survive.
if you search about brazilians politicians you will find that amazon lands were sold to lumber companies to cut wood, 90% of lumber companies in brazil are foreign companies most from USA and Europe
so dont buy it from here and Amazon will survive

@sasktank um, we are emitting so much of it, it is NOT good for the planet anymore
July 24th, 2010 at 8:41 am
@sasktank provide some credible sources to back that up.
July 24th, 2010 at 9:12 am
The number of humans is increasing – so what? We have more food than we need – the problem is the distribution and our habit to prefer to destroy huge amounts of food for concerns of the prices instead of letting the hungry eat our superfluous productions.
The unfair system is also the reason for the disgracefull situation of third world countries, who have no chance to protect their nature – they have huge depts and dependency and try everything to get along with that.
Open your eyes.

carbon is good for trees – fact
July 24th, 2010 at 9:58 am
if you add up all the worlds loggers yearly output–it will take 1000 years to cut all the trees–the forests are full and huge in no more than 300 years–the loggers cannot cut them all down-it grows back 3 times faster than maximum logging output – fact

Why work 10-15 times harder than you need to? Our software automates traffic and list building. It works. It’s proven

Thanks for this article. Running a profitable website isn’t as easy as some may think as there is so much involved in it – especially search engine optimization and other internet marketing. These are part of being a successful site owner because if you can optimize your websites to a good standard and promote it on the internet in other ways, it shouldn’t be too difficult to make a decent profit from it.

This site is a walk-through for all the information you wanted about this and didn’t know who to ask. Look here, and you’ll definitely find it.
