Gotta make sure the RWA's have an "US" so there can be a "THEM"

Doug...

Thanks for the lesson...I remember it from grade school, high school and experimental thermodynamics...FWIW the ideal gas law only works in a fairly narrow range, and is not a law...more of a rule of thumb.

I remember the same arguments against eliminating tetra ethyl lead from gasoline, ozone and CFC's, DDT, and PCB's in transformers.

I think it's telling that the only people loudly denying the theory are strongly aligned along economic lines. You claim that capitalists see problems as opportunities, if so why is the petroleum industry fighting so hard to keep renewable resources out?

Fact is that if people worked to reduce our use of fossil fuels it would cost little and in fact would save money in the long run...it's the intransigence of the embedded energy aristocracy that keeps this from happening. 

======================================

Actually the idea is to reduce our impact...simply eliminating food waste in the US would cut our total energy budget by 2%. However we as a species and the US in particular are rabid consumers, so the only thing that will reduce our consumption is cost. Interestingly at some point we will need to reduce our consumption because the fossil fuels will be gone.

Perhaps it makes sense to do it sooner rather than later, while we have the resources to get it done. We all know that waiting to the last minute is more expensive.

======================================

As for your silly little blip about forced conversion.

Religion is not a theory, it is faith without testability. It is more of a gendanken experiment.

Further no one is asking you to believe in the theory of anthropogenic climate change, they are simply asking you to behave differently...sort of like compelling people to not kill, to behave as though you love your neighbor, etc.

Exhaled CO2 is in the carbon cycle...unlike burned fossil fuels.

======================================

Funny thing about a warmer planet...there is more water vapor in the air.

Do you mean environmental leaning RWA's?

What about the Vatican...or the Scopes Trial?

This is a failure of separation of truth and money...FWIW IMHO the potential for damage warrants drastic action...sort of like preemptive war based on suspicion.

But with out the dead people.

This is an example of the failure of capitalism...because money is involved in science the purity of the endeavor is tainted. Similar results can be found in the pharmaceutical industry. There was a brief time when science was insulated from money...the great deregulation put an end to that.

Who is suppressing information again?

The Vatican condemned the Nobel Prize committee for awarding the Nobel to Robert Edwards.

and then there's this...http://bigthink.com/ideas/24439

Jeffrey Holt, a professor of neuroscience at the University of Virginia, put it more strongly in a separate statement, saying that Cuccinelli’s harassment of Mann “harkens back to the Dark Ages, when scientists were tried for heresy when their findings ran contrary to the dogma of the day.” 

do you really want a private firm with that data...selling it to whomever wants to pay...

and your state sucks, our renewal stickers come in the mail, and we renew on line.

I just figured out your  "BAD THING" the thing you want to do but fear doing and seek authorization. You WANT to subjugate and you KNOW it's wrong...every thing you say is about subjugation. It's impossible for you to look at anything without first putting it in terms of subjugation, so that's all you can see.

Your exception seems to be willingness to be economically subjugated...all actions that your 'government' does are OK if they are done by corps or rich individuals.

Is it OK to collect information on people without cause? Sure, as long as it's a corp doing it.
