Human driven climate change is a 100% pile of garbage. Its a scam to extract wealth from the global economy. 1)Other planets and moons are warming 2)Co2 follows the weather 3)The magnetosphere is weakening 4)The albedo effect warms the oceans because the dark color absorbs light 5)Earths rotation is slowing(albedo) 6)Magnetic north is moving fast 7)Earth has been warming for over 10k yrs 8)Warming is flat and Co2 is way up 9)What causes an ice age? 10)The sun makes up more then 80% of the solar system 11)the late 90s warming correlates with the sunspot maximum 12)solar experts are expecting a longer then normal solar minimum 13)climate models testing co2 as a driver have never produced anything observable 14)many climate scientists included in the 97% are documented skeptics of "manmade climate change" 15)almost all people on earth understand climate change happens The biggest variables in climate change are: solar activity/magnetosphere/albedo/precession And the biggest green house gas is water. Water is the most transformative molecule and the most reactive. GET OVER IT!

Im pro nuclear, pro nuclear r&d for new types of nuclear its very safe and some newer nuclear designs are even better.

Its self preservation, they already pulled most of the money when oil was high. Its just common sense to divert to better prospects. There a different generation of Rockefeller they are mostly trust fund babys with well paid smart people managing the wealth(think one is investing in artificial meat so at least he is interesting). But some of the family, like any family, are human garbage saturated with entitlement. Its the old rich banker families like the Rothschilds that are a real bane on society. Some real selfish human haters in that blood line, a few countries have the worst slime bags under investigation.

I remember only a few years ago the UK prime minister was completely unimpressed by wind because of a brutal winter. Lucky for the UK they were more interested in long term results then the short term(rare) winter results.

Building a base on the moon should be our main concern. It's closer to earth, it also cant support life, has lower gravity so it would serve as a better launch point for missions with higher weight. We could develop our procedures for space development on the moon. We could develop helium3 tech as energy source on the moon. We can support a moon base much easier than a mars base. Why dont we consider the moon for development?

If I remember right, when I was in the navy, the most exciting thing about these crafts was the ability to re fuel each other and extend range. I dont remember anything thing being of note other then the price. Just like all things in the United States; you have to go back a few decades for great engineering. Our command had f-18 alpha+ and both pilots and maintainers liked the craft.

Looks like that facebook investment is giving dividends. Lucky Californians.

People tend to preform worse when they are being criticized. Good scientists tend to be intelligent and for intelligent people this is even more true so I disagree with that direction.

Theory means it can not be proven wrong. If a hypothesis is able to be tested and not proven wrong or inconclusive it is a fact/law not theory. You should all be very open minded in science, unlike religion, science can be proven wrong and it does not diminish the overall value of science in general. Even an idea as wild as a holographic(matrix) universe deserves its chance under the microscope.

A corporation is made up of actual people. They simple share liability via 1 ein#. This argument will pose a hypothetical future scenario where humanoid robots(glorified calculator ones) could bring up the same issue but the reason would not be for consciousness it would be because people become emotionally attached to them. So elevating status is more of a problem then special consideration for groups, imo.

Wouldn't it be easier to go backwards to primates and get all primates a "special consideration" for simply being so closely related to us other then grant a non-human personhood?

I hate hate hate the assumption the the acidification was caused by the absorption of atmospheric gasses to the oceans, never the more obvious reason that undersea volcanos could have contributed greatly to the acidification.

Volcanic activity in the higher latitudes likely contributed to the cooler weather in those higher latitudes. 10 years ago the climate conversion was a barf bag, I must admit its much better today, but I have my own ideas about how the climate works and I believe very very few people could relate to the geologic time scale that the climate is apart of. When people or scientists try to isolate a single source for the cause of climate change you can dismiss them as fools. This cusp period between ages is likely unspectacular other then the fact that we humans are aware of the changes and are attempting to mitigate where we believe we can. was not found on this server.
