Well, let me be the first to say that you are a complete fucking selfish asshole. I imagine the millions of people that are going to die so you can a slightly more pleasant September will go to their graves knowing they died for a good cause. The hot spots on this planet are going to get hotter and the warm places are going to get hot. That means agriculture across the planet is going to be disrupted on the very large scale. Which possibly means millions of people of dying, but that's okay, you can wear a short sleeve shirt in September!
As for those nobodies that live on the coast, which is probably a good chunk of the human population, they'll just have to suck it up. Their cities will disappear and they'll just up and move, like it's nothing. It's just their lives and livelihood, I mean, it's really nothing. The trillions of dollars in infrastructure across the world will need to be replaced or augmented will come out of our pocket change, but that's okay, you're warm in September!
Of course, let's not discus the thousand or millions of species that live on this planet are going to heavily impacted or die. The giant and highly complex ecosystems across world with just have to "suck it up", you know, they don't do anything but make the world livable and the air breathable (I don't mean that figuratively either.) The environment will change in 100 years what would usually take 100,000 years, with a huge mystery of how it will turn out, but who cares, you get to drive a super size truck! I mean, if Mother nature was not such a pussy, she would not have this problem because it is all about YOU.

PS> If you don't like the September's where you live, you can fucking move, you ignorant fuck.

I suggest you look at the photos/videos of nuclear tests that the governments of the US and USSR have helpfully provided. Unless they could fake all that in the fifties, including all the glass-lined craters you can tour now, considerably more than two weapons successfully detonated, even if only those two were fired in anger.

Well George Pal was pretty awesome, plus the government was spending a lot of money on SFX back in the 1950s because they knew they were going to need the technology to fake moon landings in the 1960s.

Bullshit, you're just another stupid racist who wishes that the government would crack down on all of those horrible negros and other people of color. White people, especially white male conservatives are the last people in the world who would want to implement any sort of "honest" profiling scheme because the history of terrorism in America is overwhelmingly white, male and conservative. Don't believe me? Well how about a little terrorist organization called the KKK, which lynched thousands of black men in the early 20th century and terrorized blacks, Catholics, Jews and other minorities to prevent them from voting or moving in to certain areas or taking certain jobs. Then of course we have Tim McVeigh and his crazy militia buddies, the neo-Nazis in Idaho, Bruce and Joshua Turnidge (this story got no media coverage compared to the Boston bombing or the Fort Hood shootings), the asshole who tried blowing up the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial march in Spokane in 2011. While we're at it let's toss in all of the school shooters (Adam Lanza, Kip Kinkel, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold are all white) and that crazy fuck who shot up the theatre in Aurora. Any honest look at American history shows that white people are mean, crazy dangerous fuckheads and that you should keep an eye on them lest they go batshit insane and start killing everyone in sight. Yeah, if we had profiling in America and it was honest, and not just an excuse used to fuck with people then white guys like you would spend a lot of time getting cavity searched.

Yes, people charged with a crime often have their movements restricted as a condition of bail, a fact which has nothing to do with the TSA's idiotic no-fly list. See people who are charged with a crime and who have had their movements restricted have had the benefits of a little thing called due process of law and the fifth amendment to the Constitution. See, if you've been charged with a crime and have had your movements restricted that means that you've been arrested, charged in a court of law, allowed to have counsel to represent you. You can also appeal the judgment that restricts your movements, confront the witnesses against you and you have the right to subpoena witnesses to testify in your favor. You have none of this with the TSA. The TSA restricts your liberty to travel without telling you why they've done so or what evidence they used to make this determination and gives you no opportunity to defend yourself. The TSA no-fly list is essentially nothing more than the imposition of Soviet style internal passports that has nothing to do with protecting citizens and everything to do with restricting their movements.

Your first statement is not true. I'm getting a fairly constant flow of photos and updates from friends out there now. Most for them work for the BORG, so they have a hard line data connection.

But yeah, most people turn off their phone.

The reason you get pictures from them is because the BORG has its own WiFi network that no one else can use. They can snap pictures and they do get out, everyone else, this is not true.
