Emmanuela Save a species, burn a boat! And release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
Goodness gracious, I am ever so shocked!

Quote: Sometimes I am very glad I do not live in America. Don't these people have anything better to do with their time? Hmm... If you ask me, once a town like Malibu, etc, has enough money to BE a small country, they should be seen as independent from the United States... --- Quote: Emmanuela Wrote: Save a species, burn a boat! And release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere? Goodness gracious, I am ever so shocked! Better than the long-time distribution of carbon dioxide into the air and water by these boats. CO2 dissolved in the water is actually killing reefs, etc, on a larger basis because of the pH changes. Regardless you have a point. New slogan: Save a species, sink a boat. (gas, etc, will be salvaged, and the new boat will create an artificial reef!) Ok, I'm being optimistic...

I see nothing wrong with carbon dioxide going into the air as long as there are trees around to absorb it

Septomor I see nothing wrong with carbon dioxide going into the air as long as there are trees around to absorb it Trouble is, we are both releasing too much carbon dioxide through burning fossil fuels and at the same time rapidly cutting down a lot of the forests eg. the rainforests 'the lungs of the earth'. I like Wet Lettuce's idea of removing the fuel and then sinking the boats to create artificial reefs. Or they could be pulled apart and the materials recycled into something else, something more useful and eco-friendly.

Septomor I see nothing wrong with carbon dioxide going into the air as long as there are trees around to absorb it Now that is a really stupid comment. Firstly, our production of CO2 is much larger than the amount that trees and algae can use. Another point you might consider (And I think that Wet Lettuce touched on it earlier) is that we are altering the Ph balance of our oceans. This has an even larger effect than destroying reefs. The life in the oceans is reliant on plankton, which is in turn reliant on algae. This algae likes water that is not turning into Carbonic Acid. If those algae die, which is unavoidable if we continue on our present path, then we lose the base of the food chain in the oceans. All sea life dies, and the algae that produces 70% of recycled oxygen on this planet is destroyed. Then what happens?

Worry not, T'was all in good humor! ------ donnythephoenix This algae likes water that is not turning into Carbonic Acid. Don't let him mislead you! Carbonic acid is extremely important to our world as it is today... I believe it is one of the acids that we use to give soda it's fizz! >.> <.< sweatdrop

What a life changing event it would be if it were erased from the earth! *rolls eyes* Yeah, the practical side of me is saying slavage the gas and sink the things, but the rest of me (smaller mind you) says LIGHT IT, it makes a bigger BOOM! of course that would really not be terribly helpful to the enviroment would it? ahh we can dream cant we? cry

We all have those little voices in our heads telling us to blow stuff up... don't worry.
Heh, I still have about 10 pounds of thermite and 5 pounds of black powder in my basement from my last... giving in... melted straight through random padlocks, etc...
I guess it doesn't help the environment, but... heh...
My new years eve consisted of wrapping 2000 sparklers tightly, and setting them off.
Large boom...
But I pick up litter if I'm walking through forests,etc throughout the year, I figure it balances out...

I always lean in the earth direction, but explosion can be a point maker and a stress reliever. My ex/bestfriend (yeah I know its screwy, dont ask) likes to do that sort of thing. For the 4th of July he set off hundreds of fireworks, ending in a fire extinguisher, a BOOM because he and his friend almost lit the neighbors dock on fire..... Hehehe.......I understand the urge to blow stuff up especailly for enviromentally unfriendly bombs on water.......but I'll contain myself ninja

I love fire and sparkly things! *High fives fellow pyromaniac*

In the ninteenth century, if you broke your leg then they would stretch it, push the bone back in place and fill it with carbonic acid. It actually helped heal the bone!
