There is climate change...of that there is no doubt.
Ice Ages come and go.
The globe heats up, the globe cools...all by itself...that's not in dispute either.

What if anBything can man do about it...and still exist himself...that's what's in question.

CO2 is 0.04% of the earth's atmosphere.
3% of that is man-made.
Climate change...best to look elsewhere than man for the answers.

"The globe heats up, the globe cools...all by itself...that's not in dispute either."

LOOK AT THE GRAPH BELOW. It came from 37 years ago. The OIL company scientists understood the relationship between having the extra CO2 in the air and our heat. They predicted the heat would rise as the CO2 numbers went up.

The CO2 numbers went up. The heat is rising.

If it were just, as you keep falsely claiming, a natural up and down, they would not have made such a prediction.



"...best to look elsewhere than man for the answers."

Where the FUCK do you propose we look?! GOD?!

I've asked you this before. You have failed to respond:
If you are wrong and the sea level rises sufficiently to flood much of the coast line all around the globe, do you propose we "look elsewhere than man for the answers?!"

Shall we just throw up our hands and say "easy come, easy go," and let those people die and the global economy collapse?

If not, do you think we should try to minimize the damage?!

Los Angeles used to have electric streetcars, Los Angeles was quite advanced.

Right now people wish they would have kept the electric streetcars.

What do you do with this lovely lady?

Sounds like a psychopath.  We have max security prisons for such persons, and LWOP would be the proper sentence, as Boz said.  I admit that, if there were some extremity of viciousness that led a society to say "this person is beyond redemption and not fit to live," this woman would be a likely candidate.  One of those rare cases where my own DP objections are sorely tested.  But....have we ruled out a psychotic break and all possibility of future treatment and rehabilitation?  IOW, are we omniscient?

It's not how hard you work.

It's how wealthy your familiy is.

Keeping the American Dream alive...

In the old days there were guys like Benjamin Franklin and James Madison who had big dreams for America, and others came along and shared the dream of America. Guys like the Rockefellers and the Vanderbilts, they all shared the American dream, and they built America. And they were good Christians who gave back to their communities, and as the men made money their wives gave the money away through charitable organizations, etc, and they donated libraries, etc, and they pumped money into America. Guys like Bill Gates are not like the old guys like Henry Ford. Henry Ford created jobs in Detroit, and Gates creates jobs in China, Gates only cares about the money. Otherwise the Apple I-Phones would be built in Nebraska instead of in China.

So what do we do? The tariffs on imports from China is a good start, and then we can invest that money back into the USA, we can build high speed trains, and other public projects, and we can also give redevelopment money to areas hard hit by job losses, and we can give people low interest business loans, etc. And as our young people become educated, we need to make sure that they can find jobs right here in the USA. And for instance, California has great film schools, and great acting schools, we need to have jobs for the students when they graduate, so we need a new movie studio in Anaheim, etc, we need new film and television investment in Southern California, and film equipment rentals, etc. California has lost over 500,000 jobs to China, and we need to get busy replacing those jobs and we need to keep the American dream alive. And guys like Gates have done a lot of good things, but they need to do more to create jobs here in the USA, and to give back to America.

Salute,

Tony V.

60 year old lady leaving prison:  "I have been rehabiltated"

Onlooker:  "What did you do?"

Lady:  "I cut open a pregnant woman's belly and removed the child"

Really?

Ward, people win the lottery. We know that. It's not news. But if hard work were all it took, there would be many more billionaires than there are. The evidence is in. It has been in for at least 80 years, when the first study I know of illustrated the fact that the best predictor of educational attainment was father's income. Not his or mom's education level. Not the kids' or parents' intelligence. Not where they lived or how many siblings they had. Income.

There have been changes since then, with the lower percentage of nuclear families as one of the factors. But the role of SES in educational attainment is stronger than ever, whether you like it or not.

You think that's a real Biden account?

Just because it says "parody" right on it is no reason to expect Kiiid to have taken it in, rather than being willfully taken in.

Lets rehabilitate this one too

You say that while giving Trump and his cronies a complete pass for the lives they have willfully destroyed.

Too fucking pathetic, you are.

My new strategy is to let Kid figure out for himself how dumb he is rather than actually pointing it out to him. It does not appear to be working.
