Americans Gearing up to Fight Global Warming
TechnoGuyRob writes "Global warming has been one of the most controversial and debated issues in the political and scientific sphere. A recent poll published in the Chicago Sun-Times now shows that 'An overwhelming majority of Americans think they can help reduce global warming and are willing to make the sacrifices that are needed, a new poll shows. After years of controversy, 71 percent of Americans now say they think global warming is real.'" (Jamie adds: and all it took was twelve years of overwhelming scientific consensus.)
No, you must believe. It's scientifical! It's slashdot doctrine! Any technique used to validate it is, by definition, valid.
Slashdot - where whining about luck is the new way to make the world you want.
Germany during World War II switched to hydrogen for its cars when its petroleum supplies were cut off. Brazil has switched to domestically produced alcohol. It's all do-able with a strong federal leadership.
Yup, what America really needs a fascist dictator in charge to make things happen, oh wait...
For all intensive porpoises your a bunch of rediculous loosers

If you don't know where you are going, you will wind up somewhere else.
Don't confuse the incompetence of the current party in power with the idea that government is neccessarily incompetent.
That would be easy to do, except that it doesn't matter which party is currently in power, they're equally incompetent. As Mark Twain once said, "Suppose you are an idiot. Now suppose you are a Congressman. But I repeat myself."
God invented whiskey so the Irish would not rule the world.
So umm, it IS five quarts? (American ones)
Or was that just you being colourful? A skilful way, to manoeuvre the discussion into an arguement while critisising his American measurement system.
By the way, why is it that when I buy a can of Boddingtons, it comes in an American pint sized aluminium can? I could be wrong on that, but it is one of my favourite beers, I just wish we could get a draught version in the pubs here. But then, I guess it's for the best, because my cheque book would really suffer if that were the case.
If I am wrong, (not sure, I'll have to analyse it next time I'm in the market)I'll make a note of it. But really, who cares if we have 16 oz. pints, It's not a badge of honour or anything. I really wouldn't mind having four extra ounces in my pints, especially at the pub. Just as long as I don't have to pay an extra pound for it. Because then I'd just have to spend my friday nights at the theatre instead watching movies(mouvies?).
... what did you expect, something profound?
