Have you done any intensive research into the subject of climate change? Your comments show you think the whole thing is a joke. I have another idea. You and I make a deal that if you're wrong and we obviously are in trouble then I can come and put a bullet in the back of your head for fighting people like me who were trying to do something before it's too late. I think I like that idea even if you don't agree to it.

I watched the video carefully. Did you not note the "Wow" moment, when Nye takes off his bow tie, smokes a cigarette and drinks whiskey from the bottle? That bit of theatricality was there to emphasize how horrible the problem mentioned at that point: "Methane coming out of the Arctic permafrost" was brought up. If you know the slightest thing about chemistry you would not say that Methane is nothing to worry about. The hubris you expose--in assuming that we can somehow come up with a technology-based worldwide solution to reverse this runaway warming--should make you embarrassed. The video I linked to clearly shows that this problem is going to hit us much quicker than you think. Study the chemistry. Methane is much, much worse. Methane has already been documented as flooding up from the Artic. It's already too late--so it doesn't mean that anything you or I could do would change that.

You don't understand what I meant. Bloomberg Law, for example, provides an automated system that allows attorneys to follow through a given decision and find the actual final outcome of a given bit of legislation. Surely, an attorney can track down that applicable case law manually but it's a real pain the ass, one that is eliminated by the services I mentioned. Wise ass.

While it is nice to have all these legal decisions on line, it's really not that useful unless you have a system of linking those decisions and appeals and all the final outcomes of those processes in the form of CITATIONS. That's what people pay the big bucks for to Westlaw, Lexus/Nexus and of course that monstrocity coming from Washington Street in Manhattan, Bloomberg Law.
