Read the book. Bad organizations will inevitably turn good people bad, unless you are inoculated against the effect with knowledge.

No, I think people are fine. It's governments and their poorly organized systems that cause things like this. Suggest you read "The Lucifer Effect". It's not just about prison guards. That same mentality has infiltrated the NSA and most other government offices.

There were a pretty good number. If only you could get the raw data from the gatekeepers.

It is, but you shouldn't overweight that data.

What? How would increasing humidity free up hydrocarbons? You think people are stopping drilling because they are afraid of AGW?

I am in no position to perform a detailed study, and would simply be blacklisted for trying. I'd never be able to get a government grant again. No thanks. Leave the politics to the many parasites.

Dat circular reasoning.

You don't understand what an equilibrium is. It is not a fixed thing. Just because the human population is an equilibrium (ie people are born and people die) doesn't mean the total number can't change. It can and does go up, and it can and will go down. I don't know what to tell you if you want to DENY that ;)

You get a 20% or so increase in maximum humidity at the levels we are talking about. That is the MAXIMUM level of humidity. It isn't always 100% humid.

CO2 doesn't cause significant warming in Earth's atmosphere, and anyone who tells you it does is just lazy and takes it on faith. 99% of the people who say that have never even looked at an IR spectrum, much less taken one much less understand how it works.

Yes, it IS a huge can of worms. Once you start the government down the road of regulating people's health, it doesn't end until you have 1984 style mandatory calisthenics every morning and computer screens screaming at you that you jack off too much and you need to go make more babies for the motherland.

Enforcing isolation is different from mandatory vaccination, which is what you called for in your original post.

Not really. The moisture holding capacity of air doesn't really increase that quickly in the temperature range we are talking about: http://www.engineeringtoolbox....

And further, human addition of water vapor is a slowly moving equilibrium that will be quickly pushed back when something "breaks" and thus causes economic damage. For example, depleting a major aquifer will lead to decreased irrigation levels which leads to an economic decline that causes roads to be torn up and emissions to be reduced do the the fact that fewer people can afford stuff made in factories.

But that's not a point, because the point of vaccination programs is to prevent pandemics, which requires slowing the spread of a disease by reducing the number of people who are vulnerable to it.

You have no idea the magnitude of the can of worms you are opening there. More like a wormhole that links to a series of universes completely filled with worms. Giant space worms with nasty sharp pointy teeth.

You are correct that unvaccinated people should live in isolation from others, but that clashes with your claim that the government should be able to force people to get vaccinated.

A better solution would be to leave it up to state or local governments to come up with such laws, perhaps based on recommendations from the Feds. Then there will almost certainly be some non-vaccine area that people can go who don't want vaccinations, and vaccine mandatory places where people can go to be safe from those diseases. Eventually, those places that allow non-vaccination will experience the higher costs and increased mortality that comes with that, and people will come to their senses or die out (or it turns out to not be that big a deal and vax-mandatory places abandon the checkpoints as they are too expensive to maintain).

In practice that would be hard to implement, though, as it would require internal checkpoints. Really this is all pretty Orwellian no matter how you look at it.

I don't think you understand the concept of criminal negligence, anon.

Further, a mutant can choose to harm someone with their powers (and registration doesn't really do anything to stop that). An unvaccinated person can get infected and spread disease without knowing it.

That said, I am REALLY REALLY REALLY uncomfortable with government lists in general. As much good as may be done by having such a list, I think we are better off without any government lists at all. If only that were a choice we could make.

No, if they really believed that stuff, they would be burning people at the stake. But they aren't, because people only believe in belief, and hence allow heretics and apostates to go unmurdered, and even interact with them in a friendly manner.
