Reducing CO2 Emissions: It's not about the Money.Follow

and they're made up!

gbaji's house hasn't fallen into the ocean. Proof that climate change is a myth perpetrated by all the most prominent scientists in the WORLD in a plot hatched by the US democratic party to get more people on their voting rolls.

The predictions from 2000 and earlier have been pretty close if not under-reported, but eh you see what you want to see.

You're right in that you will probably not be directly and obviously impacted by a changing climate in your life time and if you are you'll be well compensated. Might as well forgetaboutit.

Gbaji doesn't live in Norfolk, VA.

If I had premium, I would have gone a different route. Toy Story, "This is a perfect time to panic!"

Given that Iran has all of Pakistan's nuke designs, a large pile of somewhat refined uranium, easy access to north Korean uranium stockpiles, several large hardened gas centrifuge facilities that are admittedly turned off at the moment, sufficient quantities of weapons grade explosives and access to basic shotgun technology and CNC machine tools, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that Iran could build a truck mountable Uranium bomb within the next 2 years if they really wanted to annoy someone. Refining the uranium is the tricky part, and we know they can do that already. The rest of it is just making a grapefruit sized ball of refined uranium and shooting a smaller chunk of uranium into it basically. Israel would probably nuke them if they made a serious attempt to mass produce, but them getting enough material together to make a demonstration test bomb is not going to be that hard.

Six months if they wanted to. They don't want to, which is the point.

ITT: Conservatives accuse Democrats of their own behavior, try to convince everyone of their innocence.

The most fun realization is that this is just gbaji better written.

How did this happen, exactly? I mean... how did we get such a large number of people who "grew up taking Ayn Rand seriously" so to speak?

I'm looking at my son right now. He is two years old. I think about the way some folks are raised to be extremely violent and racist, or religious in some way or another. But what do teach your children to make them grow up and think "I'm a douche bag, and no one else matters in this world but me" --and at what point does that become "I need sacrifice everything to ensure bigger, richer douche bags have the right to do as they please, at any cost-- because, you know, liberty."

I wouldn't believe it if I didn't personally know several people who believe this way, and are very vocal about it. All I hear about is how all the world's problems stem from the evil and oppressive US government and how free we'd all be if we could just put up with a little acid rain. It's not even about money. A factory explosion that kills everyone inside is the essence of freedom-- provided it could have been easily prevented by common sense regulation forced upon us by the great oppressor.
