I didn’t bring it up...I answered another posters questions. BTW, you were responding to another alias who has been banned multiple times and seems quite obsessed with this board and me in particular from what people have quoted.
Name one that has as many banned alias accounts as posty (who took upon himself to talk crap about my kid and private message me other crap) or BeaverCleaver?
I’ve never seen this alleged Posty guy and I have been on a lot.
None that do what the two I mentioned do. It’s not just about being an alias. HTH
You need to back off. You refer to me as Beav and now you claim that person talked crap about your kid and sent you PMs? Again....as you have been told over and over keep it about the topic and not the poster. Absolutely pathetic.
This is a good post...but I want to point out something so that it is not interpreted too optimistically.
In the "glimmer of hope" department, Trump did not get his way in terms of cutting funding for DOE-related clean energy research. Congress overrode him and in fact some of the programs actually increased funding:
It was much warmer 2 million years ago (although the world is only 6000 years old and who was really taking the temperature back then, they didn't even have proper thermometers)
I was one of the first on board when global warming was a thing. I've always had a closeness with the environment. I was also one of the first to jump ship because of thinking like this. How dumb. I think I may have talked myself into it more than anything. Now I weep for future generations.
I would not lump (unintentional pun) nuclear with coal. Nuclear is potentially renewable and more importantly carbon-free. Focus should be on replacing coal and then natural gas. We should be growing our nuclear power base.
This is great and all, but 1.1 billion seems like a drop in the bucket for something that could be so good for so many reasons. Cleaner, renewable, and makes Middle East stability less important, meaning we need less of a presence.
How can I rephrase this- we won’t need to be ignoring murders because it’s someone we buy oil from? We won’t need to send our kids overseas to get maimed by an ied? We won’t need to sell weapons to questionable regimes or militia groups? I’m not against peace there but the cost in lives and dollars is astronomical. We aren’t there because we’re trying to get everyone to get along, we’re there because of the oil.
You’re right, there are a few reasons we’ve been involved in the Middle East- stop the flow of communism from Russia, secure oil, and of course post 9-11 fighting terrorism that stemmed from our previous policies.
Not sure Mad Sweeney is some liberal. Or even around.
Sweeney was progressive or liberal, but I don't think he ever came back under another account after being permabanned (or at least I never saw any left leaning poster with his distinctive posting style).
I barely remember him outside of the Shark Pool...and I think many had him on ignore for being pretty obnoxious.
With our luck the permafrost thawing will release a virus and the only people immune to it will be ones with Aztec DNA.
Totally agree. IMO the Dems could win the election in a landslide if they make climate change the focus of their platform (w/ infrastructure). But if it gets bogged down in cultural issues (like it did in 2016) and/or conflated with social equity (e.g. GND) then climate change will not prove decisive to the election outcome.
"Scientists predicted global temperature changes from 1-7 degrees in 30 years if no changes were made. We made changes and global temperatures are only up .62 degrees! Those scientists are idiots!"
i wouldn't say it got bogged down in 2016. it never got discussed at all. agree that they need to keep the social justice part out of it in this election. reduced emissions, price on carbon, use part of the revenue for infrastructure, the rest comes back as a dividend.
