I should be ashamed that you're considered part of my genome... I am.
Should've had you pegged as a racist. White supremacists say that to me all the time.

This is the guy who mixes bleach and ammonia together when left unsupervised.
Jokes about household cleaner chemistry that is killing the planet is no joke. Hope you're happy with the sixteen-point-seven polar bears my UN-approved carbon videogame says you killed because of the coal-plant powering this comment server having to spool up for your pointless spam. You should be ashamed of yourself.
'Bringing Barcelona's climate to London sounds like it could be a good thing -- if you don't suffer from asthma or have a heart condition, that is -- except London clay shrinks and is brittle if it gets too dry and then swells and expands when very wet. As ever, there is destructive and unforeseen devil in the details of climate change.'
You can tell these guys were all writing the standard doom-screed and realized "London warm like Barcelona? For a doom-screed? Hey...wait a sec, that's not doom!" So the best they have is "Uh, asthma, no...wait, the clay!"
Just derp coming and going with the Church of Carbontology.
Cue scene of a rat, scrambling down rope from stern-in-the-air Model S going down. Then Mr. Rat is in the water; struggling, failing.
Mr. Rat then looks around, sees several rat-buddies on a floating Model 3 bumper, now-worthless corporate bonds clog the water between them, but Mr. Rat is knows he's saved already. Cue Celine Dion, The End
...a clown finds its moral compass.
If so serious, give the IPO money back.
Its like after robbing a bank, one of the thieves rats on his co-conspirators because of his conscience...but keeps his stash of the take. Enough of that moral preening getting an applause line in this country. You hate global warming Mr. Trillionaire? Park the Gulfstream then, dumbass. Same thing here. I so hate entitled saccharine sanctimony from the rich.
Venusian Doom was promised by 2100 around 2009 or so. A couple of Carbon Cons later, and the collectivists promised Venusian Doom would be here by 2050.
Venusian Doom should arrive by 2030 or so now according to the trendy socialist-politicians in the west. I have seen no pushback from the alleged sober climate scientists about such outlandish claims, so they must be true.
So with just another couple papers from the climate scientists like this one (a couple drop every week), and Venusian Doom will have happened by 2015 or so at this rate.
Pretty big titted blonde Microsoft sales girl immediately dispatched to CERN to offer a two year discount on the commercial licenses back to the level of the former academic pricing.
CERN falls for it.
You know it happens.
Cue Swiss police responding to call at CERN's visitor office finding an out-of-retirement Steve Ballmer in blonde wig screaming about developers.
This would be the Microsoft approach to implementing your idea
As in the Shark Treatment. The whole dynamic with YouTube depends on this BS "wink-wink we're just a platform not a publisher" shtick. Not believable of course, but the EULA pretty clear in page-after-page what they're NOT liable for. The whole piracy cloud YouTube actually is kinda depends on that EULA being literal and them staying a passive platform. Facebook same boat. Any/all of them are.
But they're not so smart about the law. YouTube'lll brag about this policy against the Uncle Touchers, but fact is now that they've claimed security against such things, they're exposing themselves to civil liability when said security fails, because they've set expectations.
Fact is politicians and lawyers smell blood in the water. Google and Facebook et al can get as woke as they want, but they are all now fat kids with broken legs treading water in Shark Cove watching the fins circling. Not going to be pretty. Welcome to Lawyer World, Googlers.
SCIENTIST ONE: (Exhaling cumulus sativa cloud): "Dude! Like, what if, like, stars started blowing up and stuff and, that, like..."
SCIENTIST TWO: (While applying spark) "That's like a ton of earth-flame dude, like, people had to run away man."
SCIENTIST ONE: "Total Metallica video back then, so we're all running and like the other monkeys are all 'wait for me brah'"
SCIENTIST TWO: (pointing at his own legs on the couch, as bubbling sounds emanate elsewhere) "I got two long legs and you got four little arms. Sucks to be you, dude!"
And on and on they went. To a Nobel Prize, perhaps.
...you get a California liberal to build a wall in a desert in the middle of nowhere, for seven billion dollars?
Answer: Tell them its a train.
Trump's been going about this border wall thing all wrong.
