That's just the better-educated folks who wait to have kids. For every one of them you probably have ten or more undereducated teenagers whose parents believe in abstinence-only sex ed.
What I do know, is that Geologically speaking, we are still in an ice-age(inter-glacial period, but still an ice age as we currently have ice-caps), so I know for a fact that earthly life as a whole will be quite happy once we have moved away from the unusually cold climate and can return to a warmer and more fruitful climate instead.
Sure there will be disruptions, but change is both disruptive and unavoidable, so we will deal with it.
See, this is where denialism turns into woo-woo religion. You "know for a fact" that the planet's going to do better once it warms up, do you? You know for a fact that we can indeed deal with this disruption, do you?
Discrediting scientists (and by extension science) is going to be paying dividends for a long time. I wonder how quickly it'll accelerate the USA's loss of leadership in the sciences.
Actually, no. My Civic has these things called "crumple zones" that are a lot more efficient at protecting pax than a rollcage. Plus they're a lot lighter, therefore less air pollution and fuel usage, and it's not like I'm going to take a commuter car onto a racetrack where I'll take it up to 150 MPH and potentially flip it.
Nobody's cars have 5-point restraints because they're a pain in the ass to use, and again most of us aren't on racetracks.
Are you stupid enough to think that all cars need to be built to race standards?
Cthulhu on a pogo stick, man. EPA says that new stoves have to pollute 20% less and you're so illiterate you think that means the government's taking away their woodstoves?
Because no liberal would dare be so socialist as to say "here, have some tax breaks so you can pay for a cleaner furnace THAT'S ALSO MORE EFFICIENT AND WILL SAVE YOU MONEY LATER ON".
:eyeroll: Yes, and? We're never going to kill off enough people to make a rural utopia, so we'll just have to deal with pollution regs especially as the population grows.
Also, clearly everyone with asthma has it to an equal degree that you do.

But jerbs and taxes and statist power grabs.
Gather 'round, kids. Parent post is a classic example of the Gish Gallop.

There's a small difference in how complex DOS is vs. Windows.
Nixon was never right-wing. Price controls, remember?
Because public health matters, idiot. It's worth everyone's while to not have polluted air.

BINGO!
* it was "statist" that got my Libertarian Bingo card filled out this time.
Concern troll is concerned. Fuck off and get a lollipop.
IHBT.

Again, you're so small-minded that you can't conceive that air pollution (smoke) is bad for other people.
I must have been *imagining* that my dad's woodstove made me use my inhaler more often. Fuckwit.
The right wing tends to be against regs that they /think/ affect people like them. Other people? Fuck 'em, I got mine.
You tell me about the "intellectual" leap you made to equate "new stoves must pollute 20% less" with "ZOMG KENYAN SOCIALIST GUNNA TAKE MAH STOVES".

That'd only work in bachelor quarters. First time a woman saw what that does to your toilet bowl, she'd freak. :P
ZOMG PEOPLE I DISAGREE WITH ARE IN CHARGE WHAT HAPPENED TO DEMOCRACY GET THE GUNS.
You clearly don't understand what democracy /is/. Hint: sometimes you don't get what you want.
Shh. Don't let facts get in the way of teabagger fear and resentment.

Cite, failfuck. Where in the law does it say that you can't repair an older woodstove?
Entirely apart from the flamebait article, he's foe'd me so he doesn't have to answer my rebuttals to his bullshit assertions.
