  1. Re:GW is real on Grim Picture of Polar Ice-Sheet Loss · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Amazing how denialists don't trust any data that doesn't match their preconceptions but are only too willing to make pretty wild assumptions when they find some vague hint of something that might help confuse the issue.

    TFA is mostly about Antartica. Just to save you the trouble of FRing it.

    What a load of crap, the Union didn't destroy hostess, the robber baron financiers did, they forced the staff to take pay cut after pay cut until eventually the staff had to say "No, accepting this amount of money as a wage is a worse option than being unemployed". The very definition of a free labour market in action. Maybe you should think what you would do if you were offered a 50% cut to your current salary while your bosses took a 100% pay increase?

  4. Re:Has anyone here ever paid more taxes than they on Australian Govt Pledges Action On Google Tax Evasion · · Score: 1

    Your sense of scale is somewhat out of whack if you are comparing tax deductions on child care (which allows people to work while providing jobs for child carers) to industrial tax evasion by some of the largest companies in the world.

    Actually it's several million times more immoral than I could ever hope to be in my entire lifetime.

    Because, as would be obvious if you weren't insane, this would start a race to the bottom with corporation tax until both companies were being systematically fucked by giant corporations.

    If you can't tell the difference between technically legal and moral then you are likely well qualified to be a CFO.

    "ancestral lands"? By that token do we all own part of Africa?

    Yes, and why wouldn't you want a childminder who was attracted to children! Makes sense when you think about it, they'll obvioulsy take really good care of them.

    Oh, poor troll getting upset by reality now?

    All we have to do is wait for thousands of years to get full enough results, at which point the deniers would start complaining about the "fix" applied to compensate for the fact that early weather satellites were inadequately calibrated. Blithely ignoring the waters on their doorsteps.

    Economists quickly leave their sphere of expertise when they start saying anything about the real world or the future.

    If I was required to sort beer cans from the rest of my trash I'd complain; what's in it for me? Yet I save my beer cans because I can take them to the recycling center and get cash for them

    "rediculous" seems a bit over the top, you are obviously already aware it takes very little effort to separate your cans and it's actually easier to just leave them outside your house to be collected than it is to take them to a recycling centre for the pittance you get in return.

    If separating your rubbish into 2 different piles is too much hard work for people it's little wonder it's so difficult to make the required changes to move toward a sustainable economy.

    I'm sure this problem will eventually be as well solved as the Buffalo problem is.

  16. Re:Quick... on Global Warming On Pace For 4 Degrees: World Bank Worried · · Score: 1

    So you won't be convinced anyone can say anything about the climate until every single variable can be quantified? Imagine if early chemists had thought that way, we'd still be in the dark ages.

    Hardcore people tend to have ridiculous opinions, for example, making offensive "piss be upon him" statements, needlessly inflaming differences.
