Time to declare a War on Nature?

Terrorists killed 3000 people in the US a few years ago, and a War on Terror was launched.

Now Nature has killed over 150,000. Indeed historically, Nature kills far more people than terrorism.

Is it too early to be talking about a War on Nature?

War on nature? What do you propose?

How do we fight this war?

That is one war that would be impossible to win, and nature wouldn't even realize it was fighting back.

He's poking fun at our idiot of a President, and I, for one, would not be surprised in the least if Bush did declare a War on Nature.

Build a space station and nuke nature from orbit.

Haven't we already been waging this war since, I dunno, the industrial revolution?

Wouldn't declaring it today be like officially entering WWII on V-J day?

I thought we had rather sucessfully been proscecuting a war against nature for the past century. And we had the bitch on the back foot and she was about to surrender, but then we were screwed from the inside by some anti-war hippies traitors and now there's all this talk of environmentalism. But never fear, the US is still doing it's bit to beat Mother nature into a pulp. God bless our saviours. :)

I say we round all of nature up and put it in death camps. Then we all go into space, colonize the moon, make space-stations, and then fry the entire surface. Then move back down and create an artficial eco-system(which we can do. We can make oxygen and water, so we'll have no problem.)

I think the main problem now is how do we pull the tectonic plates into line? Need to round up their ring leaders and crush them. I personally think the Eurasian plate is the mastermind.

Well we British developed the Thames Barrier which has made Nature our bitch. Now we just use her to make tea and crumpets.

We are fighting against an invisible enemy.

Lets cut down more tree's! That'll make mother nature suffer! Muahahah.

Mother Nature would succumb to the powers of industry.

We've been fighting a war against nature since our little ape brains developed a concept of self...and what the hell do you think civilation is...a product of nature? We built this stuff so we could protect ourselves against nature

How about we make peace with nature and give up all our medicine and stuff and let people die naturally like they would in the wild.

We have been waging a war against nature for quite a long time.
I thought we had rather sucessfully been proscecuting a war against nature for the past century. And we had the bitch on the back foot and she was about to surrender, but then we were screwed from the inside by some anti-war hippies traitors and now there's all this talk of environmentalism.

I'm pretty sure that he meant it in comparison to the American situation, like the americans lose a lot of people in a plane attack and start declaring war on other nations without no probable cause or anything, so because of a natural catastrophe (earthquake/tsunami etc.) the only logical thing (according to Americans) would be to start randomly picking parts of nature without no reasonable grounds and start attacking them

I can see Bush lauching nuclear strikes against the Ring of Fire, causing the world to come apart at the seams.

Whoops.

What if we were to move to a different planet? I propose we move to either the moon, Mars, Jupiter, or Pluto. Any will do. From our distant planet we launch a full head on assult on the planet itself. its pathetic storms will be no match to our fighters. We ill go into the core of the world, detonate several uranium gas big boom bombs, and then make a herroic yet timely escape wile we watch the fireworks. O ya, and we have to have a nation of mole people to fight with. Its the only way to solve this crissis, and you all know it. :sniper:
