    no, you are a denialist; there is a differnce.

    At this point there is no ration skeptical argument left. It's like saying you are skeptical of the theory of gravity.

    Sorry but all the other possible causes have been shut down.
    All the data point to the increase in CO2.

    You gt some new data that point to another cause? great, lets review it. You can write a paper and get a god damn Nobel prize for the new science you would have to had discover.

    Don't think being ignorant is being skeptical. it is not. Ration and critical thinking is being a skeptical.

    we do understand atmosphere, and yes that does make sense becasue it's trapping the heatr. OCntrary to what the media, tlaking heads, and ignorant politician tell you its a fact.

    You don't have to understand every single fact of something for it to be true.
    That would be akin to saying gravity isn't real.

    We know, for a fact, we are increasing CO2.

    We know, for a fact, the heating is occurring in the lower parts of the atmosphere

    And people like to whine.
    Would you pay 1% more for all your goods? cause that all it would take.
    My monthly costs are ~ 4000. So I would pay 40 dollar more a month. If it was for cleaning up pollution I have no problem with that becasue cancer, and sickness caused by it have a higher cost.

    Of course, we live in an error where when a temporary tax break ends, it gets called a 'massive tax hike' so there is no hope until those idiots are gone.

    BY you're logic sand should be the currency.
    not that I am surprised to see yet another person on /. not know jack about currency:

    Fiat money is money that derives its value from government regulation or law. SO it has value, even innate value.

    Innate is not the word you want. 'intrinsic value' is what you are looking for; look up intrinsic Value theory.

    When talking economic, value USUALLY means An amount, as of goods, services, or money, considered to be a fair and suitable.
    SO fiat money has value, by definition.

    No, he isn't. You are comparing a type of attack that wasn't common under the previous guy to all innocents killed.

    Under bush over 100K innocents where killed using non drone technology.

    Drone tech is more precise, cheaper and easier to use. Is it perfect? no, but either where pilots flying aircraft in the fields.
