Missed opportunity?

There may have been a net increase in the caribo population but that was do to other factors. Oil fields DO lead to a decrease in caribou populations.

I doubt that oil fields are good for caribou but you should try to avoid contradicting yourself in consecutive sentences.

Hey Nefari, prove it.  
No scientists have done so, maybe you can win the Nobel prize.

Take a look at the average temperature of everyday for the last 15 years.

I guarantee you will notice a trend. You dont have to be a Weather Man to see it.

10 caribou are born a year on average.
-3 for having an oil field in the area.
+5 because food was good that year.

Net effect 12 caribou are born that year.

Hmmmmmmmmm I CAN'T DECIDE!!!!!!!!!!

The issue is about a shared natural resource, not happy caribou.  There is no way you can prove that tapping into an oil field that MAY or MAY NOT pan out will lead to world peace and economic stability.  We CAN prove that it WILL diddly up this shared resource.

I can't disagree with that.  I just don't give the caribou very high weight in my value system.

The worse thing is that we have the options, and were led to believe we dont, like drilling is what will solve our problem.

Free Energy is the Answer.

I quote Dr Steven Greer.

Utopia? No, because human society will always be imperfect — but perhaps not as dysfunctional as it is today.  These technologies are real — I  have seen them. Anti-gravity is a reality and so is free energy generation. This is not a fantasy or a hoax. Do not believe those who say that this is not possible: they are the intellectual descendants of those who said the Wright brothers would never fly.
 Current human civilization has reached the point of being able to commit planeticide: the killing of an entire world. We can and we must do better.  These technologies exist and every single person who is concerned about the environment and the human future should call for urgent hearings to allow these technologies to be disclosed, declassified and safely applied.

An international effort to minimize disruption to the economy and to ease the transition to this new social and economic reality will be needed. We can do this and we must. Special interests in certain oil, energy and economic sectors need to be reigned in and at the same time treated compassionately: Nobody likes to see their power and empire crumble. Nations very dependent on the sale of oil and gas will need help diversifying, stabilizing and transitioning to a new economic order.

more-

The United States, Europe and Japan will need to adjust to a new geo-political reality as well: As currently poor but populous countries dramatically develop technologically and economically, they will demand — and will get — a  meaningful seat at the international table. And this is as it should be.  But the international community will need to put in place safeguards to prevent such potential geo-political rapprochement between the first and third world from devolving into bellicose and disruptive behavior on the part of the newly empowered.  

more-

If we act now, by 2030 we will be able to effectively eliminate all poverty in the world, as we know it today.  We only need the courage to accept these changes and the wisdom to steer humanity safely and peacefully into a new time.

I could go on and on...

Sorry to hijack.

That's part of the problem.

Here in Canada the mighty caribou is highly revered.  So much so, that it's image appears on our 25 cent coin.  The noble beaver, (our national rat...I mean animal) only rates a place on the nickel.  

Honestly, I can understand how the caribou might not mean much to an American.  By the same token, the oil doesn't mean much to us as we have craploads of it already.

Heh!  I bow to the master, you blow away my eat the caribou so nobody notices plan.

Now if only Steven Greer can find out where they hid all those UFOs from him....

[Nefarious]

You Mock me with a picture of a nice glass bong...

I can only take that as a complement.

Wake Up! Funkedup.

Drilling for more Oil only prolongs the inevitable. We are decades away from no Oil at all, I cant count the number of times i have heard this from credible sources. You will be fortunate, you will probably be dead by the time this happens, I'm guessing i will be too. Why not try to make a difference?

We keep passing our problem to a younger generation. And my generation is where it will stop.

I was thinking, I bet the reason that caribou population is increasing is because we've hunted it's predators for so long.

[Elfenwolf]

"The single most cause of death among caribou is getting stuck to the steel pipeline by their tounges. Unable to get away they are easy prey for ravenous wolves."

And-

"Many a lonely pipeline worker has 'inspected the pipe' after dusk in search of caribou calves stuck by their tounges to the steel pipe. For the pipeline worker it's a poor substitute for what awaits them at home; for the caribou calf it's a humiliation that, if they survive the night and the morning sun thaws the icy grip of the pipeline, will cause the caribou to avoid pipelines- and men- forever."

-Abdul Bergmann, Alaskan pipeline worker
