How are you going to teach a computer to detect sarcasm when most of the posters on Slashdot can't, assuming posters here are actually human? Which might be a stretch.
Your force. My decision. I decide not to let misanthropes like yourself limit human potential by forcing population limits.
You hate humans.
I believe only humans can enjoy a pristine forest, save the whales, or bicycle through the countryside just for the fun of it.
I have to write very small commentary in pilot's logbooks. The only pen that accomplishes this properly is the Pilot G-2 0.38. Available at Office Max but not Office Depot.
Nobody rational denies climate change. Many rational people deny human caused climate change. If there were empirical evidence for blaming humans, we'd have a debate. Lacking such evidence is the reason why there is merely a shouting match between irrationalists of all sorts.

When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, ‘This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,’ the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives.” — John Lyle in "Revolt in 2100" by Robert Heinlein
Climate science has abandoned evidence and data and gone straight to propaganda.
Check out the data and evidence for yourself, don't listen to the anti-technological propaganda from the politicized climate scientists.

'This man is too heavy,' said the doctor who had been called in to see a patient in the Land of Fools, 'and his ailment will undoubtedly become worse unless something is done about it.'
He went home, leaving his knowledge and expected some action to be taken.
When he returned to see the patient, he was met by sorrowing relatives.
'Doctor,' they said, 'the man was sicker than we knew. Even after his weight had been reduced, he died.'
'Perhaps he did not get his weight down fast enough.'
'No, it couldn't have been that. We decided that the best way to take off weight was to cut his head off. We had that done in five minutes.'
Hmmm.... If climate isn't weather, then clearly hurricanes and tornadoes and sea level rises and cold weather in Copenhagen can't be attributed to climate. They are merely weather, and cannot be climate in any real sense.
Unless, well, weather really is climate in the long run? If so, perhaps the last decade of declining temperatures have finally left the realm of weather and entered the realm of climate. And perhaps the frigid weather in Copenhagen really reflects the current climate of colder weather.
Those who have Macs call me about once a year for a 20 minute Q&A, which takes care of things for another year.
Those who don't have Macs know not to call me, and they don't.

A thousand times. NO! Bitcoin is unregulatable. That is its genius. Any government that tries to regulate it will look both stupid and hubristic.

Please show me what percentage (or any non-modeled number) of that rise is due to human activity. Now, we can talk about solutions.
Read Dan Brown's "Inferno" for one suggestion. Many in the eco-community think this is a viable "final solution."

And that's exactly why our economy is doing so well these days...
Few large airplanes use lead-acid batteries anymore. NiCad is pretty standard for anything larger than a Cessna 210.

We could get rid of daylight-wasting time if everyone used one of these. It then wouldn't matter where you are. We'd all be synched to the sun.
I second that motion.

Not surprising when we're burning so much food by turning it into ethanol and putting it in our cars.

Anthony Watts just posted some new information regarding errors in the BEST data. Perhaps Richard Muller will need to re-evaluate his "skepticism." http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/07/29/press-release-2/

An entire movie in one take. Loved it!

And you rely on a failed politician and a bunch of coercively financed "scientists"?

Exactly. And what if the current lack of sunspot activity is precursor to a climate that is changing to colder weather rather than warmer?
Doesn't it make more sense to prepare for cold, which actually kills far more people than warmth?
What peer reviewed evidence do you have that unqualifiedly points to CFCs as having major, driving effect on the ozone layer. I'm interested.
