Keep golfing or join Greta to make a difference in the world.

Or u could shut up with the false emergency. Your choice.

golfing is terrible for the environment..I would never do it

Golf courses are actually very controversial when discussing the environment, as there are prices to pay for those lush fairways and manicured greens.

The Problems With Golf

Among the primary concerns of environmentalists with regard to golf courses are: the use of non-native grasses in golf course construction, elimination or interruption of natural habitats, overuse of fertilizers, water and pesticides, overuse of gasoline in mowers and golf carts, the massive habitat upheaval inherent in constructing a golf course, and the interruption of natural waterways that may wreak havoc on coastlines.

Barnstable has gone all natural no chemicals, stinks when it’s freshly laid down and our fees have gone up some to pay for it, but like people many see the need for change and others are only concerned about the money.

The false emergency really that’s rich. So the overwhelming majority of the scientific community is waving a red warning flag, coastal cities are changing building codes in acknowledgement of the trouble on the horizon and they even just moved the world clock closer to midnight than it’s ever been. I know it’s all about you and your bank account, your grand children and they kids will put thank you flowers on your grave.

As opposed to what, cities full of steel and concrete, or walking on a machine close to sweaty bodies, many hacking from colds or flu symptoms. Some man made things are pretty damn natural.

We do need to better on the environment and push back here, we also do not need the uberprotectionism of the envirowhacko left. We need to find some balance here.

First off, Bob, this is just stupid. The Doomsday Clock is a political scare tactic tool, which is apparently working here. You probably thought things were better after years of hearing it with GWB in charge, then all of the sudden things were fine for 8 years, now the Doomsday Clock, again, is the closest to Global Annihilation than it has ever been, again.

It is a stupid prop, apparently it is working again after being in silence during the Obama years, don't believe the hype here my friend ; )

Really SD can post Trump is the greatest president of our lifetime over and over, which to me is stupidity over and over again and I get it for posting what I knew to be a bit out there for effect. I know the clock is scare tactic, gee maybe that's why I used it, partly in jest and partly not.

Right! How much fertilizer does a golf course use? How many trees get cut down?
