It might be a good idea to use a proxy and an antivirus.

satisfyingly complete in our observations of the Sun.
Yeah right.
Could you please explain why the corona's temperature is higher than a million Kelvin, then?

Only one sixth of an inch? Are you sure?
My Galileo positioning system tells me that the earth's crust rose by more than 113km.
Meanwhile, we have no clue how our society could survive without oil.
We have more pressing matters than slamming comets into Mars.
This is an ecological win
I'm not sure it means what you think it means.
The real "ecological win" would be to acknowledge that Dubai is in a friggin desert, and shouldn't be used as home for more than a few thousand people.
I agree it's a weird unit, but it kinda makes sense nonetheless :
It's the depth of the water layer that you get when you empty the content of 50 swimming pools on a surface as big as one millionth of Wales.
No, I really meant swimming pools (volume) per micro-Wales (area).
83% of your post is bullshit.
17% is whitespace.

The length of a 10-passenger limousine
Wow, that's like 50 Olympic-size swimming pools per micro-Wales!
Economists still believe in infinite growth in a finite world.
To me, that's a proof by contradiction that economics as "science" is utter bullshit.
Could you please explain why the comparison is flawed?
I guess you consider that a meth head selling his TV set to a pawn shop isn't getting poorer.
It has made long-term economic sense for at least ten years.
Sure, if you're waiting for short-term economic sense, you'll run into big trouble and the energy trap (http://physics.ucsd.edu/do-the-math/2011/10/the-energy-trap/). You'll need to invest oil and money during a few years in order to use less oil and money. Guess what? You'll have neither time, nor money nor energy, nor probably political stability. Your option isn't one.
And please tell me more about France selling PSG (Paris soccer cub), Le Louvre; Spain selling Barca and Germany selling BMW and Mercedes to Qatar not "making anyone poorer".
What about RAW support for new cameras?
Every Aperture user will have to change after X months.
I'm lucky to be a Lightroom user, but I'd be really pissed if I had to change the software I use and love every day since 2007.
It would be like having to learn and use Emacs after 10 years of vim.
You, sir, are an idiot.
High energy prices in the future are a sure thing.
You have exactly two options :
* sit on your ass, don't change anything and give more money everyday to Russia, Saudi Arabia & Qatar. Those countries love this option, because one day, USA & Europe will be broke, won't have gas to heat their houses in winter or oil to power their cars, tanks or fighter jets. Then they can nicely invade Ukraine or go all Djihad on our ass.
* pay a bit more taxes, complain that some free loaders and greedy politicians get too much of it, but let your country invest in infrastructure that will help you and your people face peak oil and global warming. Yes, you'll pay more for energy (at first), but the price evolution is clearer than without taxes and it helps you reduce your energy demands.
Now tell me, which option is the way to go for "human misery"?
