Fuck the Environment

[kthx]

Who cares about it, Fuck Al Gore, Fuck Global Warming, Fuck the Ozone Layer.

I know of one country that could care less and will not speak up about it:

Dubai!

The new Tiger Woods Gold Course in Dubai needs four million gallons of water to be pumped on to its grounds every day, or it would simply shrivel and disappear on the winds.

Sheikh Maktoum built his showcase city in a place with no useable water. None. There is no surface water, very little acquifer, and among the lowest rainfall in the world. So Dubai drinks the sea. The Emirates' water is stripped of salt in vast desalination plants around the Gulf -- making it the most expensive water on earth. It costs more than petrol to produce, and belches vast amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as it goes. It's the main reason why a resident of Dubai has the biggest average carbon footprint of any human being -- more than double that of an American.

TEAM DUBAI, FUCK YEAH

But look on the bright side, Dubai is just using the water and keeping the sea levels lower from all the global warming destroying the ice shelves in the arctic!

YES! good thing I've lived there for 10 years.. my carbon footprint is huge!

although, there are multiple springs in the UAE from where they gather drinking water, such as MASAFI brand water...

Tap water is distilled/desalinated seawater, but that is the case in most of the Gulf states, i.e. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, etc.

Edit:
Dubai also has a "air/water purificator", which collects moisture from the humidity in the air, and condenses it into drinking water.

There was an interesting artical that came out about Dubai that I would really (being serious) like your spin on this.

This was originally from the "Independent"

[EDIT] I am also curious about you Displaced. Did you work in Dubai yourself? or had you been a kid just under your parents guidance? After reading so many stories of why people go to Dubai and the abuse of laborers there I am curious to know if your family or yourself had maids and servants at your command like slaves? Just a curioisty question and not saying that this is what you and your family had at your disposal.

It sounds to me that honestly that is the way America is headed, we basically spend and spend while having no money, we spend more than we make in taxes, and we just print endless streams of money to cover the expenses and hope and pray that because the dollar is the international currency of choice that inflation won't rear its ugly head and send us into another depression. We have been teetering on this pinnacle for awhile now, Bush didn't help with his pseudo conservatism where he spent more money than any president in the past, and now with Obama things definitely aren't going to get any better no matter how they look at the moment. Things are definitely going to get worse once other countries decide that the dollar is too unstable to rely on as the main currency, and China is already leading this charge.
