Only if you believe that CO2, which only causes health problems in humans or other animals at much higher levels than anyone is talking about ever coming to be, is a pollutant in the same class as nitrogen dioxide or sulfur dioxide and similar pollutants.

And right there is your problem, you do not understand what real pollution looks like. Real pollution causes people, wildlife, and plants to become sick and sometimes die within a short time period. A short enough time period that people don't have to be told how bad it is, they can see it for themselves.

What China has is not in any way a hybrid between capitalism and totalitarianism. It is a well-known system that is but a short step from Communism. China's current economic system is Fascism.

The problem is that the same thing that may make employees more willing to report illegal activity also makes them more willing to treat the people they are supposed to serve like their servants.

He knows that, but if he doesn't make it sound like he thinks he can make money from the actual sale of news (rather than from getting people to support whatever government policy one of his other companies will make a profit off of) people will catch on and it will stop working.

Or he thinks that their value in shaping opinion will increase his profit in other areas enough to make up for his losses in owning them, but he needs to make people think that he is expecting to make a profit from the news business (rather than planning to use the news business to make a profit elsewhere).

How do you know that IBM has not implemented an official file sharing system? As to whether or not it is easy is another question. However, my experience is that easy and secure rarely go together. That is not to say that a secure file sharing system has to be hard, but knowing the way most people think, I doubt you could make one they think of as "easy" that was secure because in order for it to be secure it requires the user sharing out the file to give information to the parties receiving the shared file some information about accessing the secured file outside of the file sharing system and only to those parties entitled to see this particular file. The way an easy system would work is that I would give you the access information once and then every time I upload a file you can access it. The problem with that is that most people would not bother to change the access information when they are uploading information that should not be accessed by some of the people they had been sharing with on the last project they worked on.

Reading your comment you apparently do not realize that the law that the Citizen's United decision partially pulled the teeth from is part of the problem. All "campaign finance reform" laws should be known as Incumbent Protection Acts because they do not actually reduce the influence of money in politics, their ostensible purpose, but they do make it harder for a challenger to displace an incumbent. Whether the Citizen's United decision was a good decision or a bad decision, the law that was at the center of it was a bad law.

Am I missing something here?

It is not salvage because they say it is not salvage and the applicable international treaty says that that is final, barring one of the other signatories to that treaty saying, "No, it's fine, go take it." The international salvage treaties do not apply because there is an Outer Space Treaty that says that all non-governmental entities must have authorization from one of the signatory governments for any activity that they perform in Outer Space, including the Moon.
