    I doubt this will penetrate your tinfoil, but the term "climate change" has been around since the '70s, and had a recent resurgence in popularity under the Bush Jr. administration thanks to a rebranding effort by Frank Luntz.

    And here are the secret closed climate models:

    Well keep in mind, they're an angry mob and aren't incredibly well-organized.

    THIS

    What Microsoft is doing is nothing compared to what Apple has been doing pretty much since the launch of iOS - and they have a far greater mobile market share than MS ever did - and yet not only do we not see this elephant in the room, but when an anteater steps in we call it an elephant and shoo it out.

    Well if they gotta be brainwashed, at least Captain Planet and Al Gore got to them before Anthony Watts and the Heartland Institute...better to be brainwashed into what happens to be scientifically supported than into science denial. You can recover from one of those.

    You've made a mistake, the numbers on Wikipedia are in millions. The US GDP is $15T.

    One was a possibility if some military guys got antsy and pressed the right buttons, one is pretty damn sure to happen, based on the best we know right now, if we continue doing what we're doing.

    Only when they show up on the climate denialist blogs.

    Climate denialists often complain that the word "denialist" has a lot of association with holocaust denial.

    And then, on top of their overarching global conspiracy theory about a certain class of people out to control the world who must be stopped, they venture into historical revisionism. LOL you can't make this shit up! XD

    If Woz hadn't made himself the Judas of Apple fanboy mythology before, this should do the trick.

    A ship that blows through the light barrier like a supercar through speed limits, has inertial dampers and some kind of non-centrifuge-based artificial gravity so that your tea won't be spilled in the process, carries enough fuel to do it for months on end...and that's not even getting into the transporters, replicators, holodecks and energy weapons on board.

    If we could build anything from near-future hard sci-fi in 20 years I'd be amazed.

    You don't solve our transportation by sticking uranium up your car's tailpipes.

    Yes you do. Well not literally, but that's what electric cars are for.

    We surely need solar thermal plants, but natural gas is nearly free right now, and NIMBYism applies to solar just as much as anything else.

    ...except natural gas, apparently.

    Building solar thermal plants will take years for permittin, years for building them, not a quick fix.

    vs. the natural gas plant which just slides off a truck onto some cinderblocks and fires right up?

    I don't get the "NIMBYs and government won't allow renewable or nuclear, but fossil is A-OK!" argument.
