How about quit fucking lying about having no contact with them? If they're no threat, and if it's no big deal, then why lie? That's a real questionâ"why so much deception? It makes no sense.
Because having back-channel comms doesn't work if they are public...
Frankly, I want our government to have back-channel comms to the other major nuclear power on Earth, Trump or Clinton... whoever is in power should have an easy path to directly communicate off-the-record to the other country on Earth with 5,000 nuclear weapons...
it is not out of the realm of probability to imagine that 7 billion people are plausibly having an effect on the world's ecosystem and their burning of fossil fuels, just maybe, might be, a factor influencing weather patterns.
I'm sure they are... so what?
Even assuming it is indeed a problem, which is a leap from "mankind is causing it" to "it is a problem"...
You aren't going to get people to stop burning dead dinos in a short period of time, so it is a moot point...
Adapting to the future while making slow changes is the only solution, but similar to Greenpeace's fear of nuclear, you're going to make "good enough" the enemy of perfect and get neither...
If solar made economic sense, I'd invest in it tomorrow, I could afford to build a $500,000 commercial solar power grid for my neighborhood and sell power locally for less and make money.
Except I can't, because solar isn't cheaper. The panels are cheap, installing them and supporting them are not.

You are a European and so you are used to a nanny state.
You sadly do not understand the concept of personal freedom.
Instead you just wish to know when your lord master tells you to jump and then you ask how high.
You really aren't giving Bill Gates credit if you really think that.
Full auto rifles don't cost nearly $70k, you can get them for under $10k
If the CIA doesn't want it, then I do...
So those are the only options you can see? Ignore it or nuke it?
You really don't have a lot of other options, this is not Iraq, it is Russia... you know, that other nation with 5,000 nuclear weapons...
If they came out tomorrow and said "yea, we did it, so what are you going to do about it?"...
Nothing would happen... because it can't, there isn't anything to be done...

Oh, I don't know. How about not roll back the sanctions you placed on them for doing exactly this?
Remind me why we have sanctions on them again?
When has Russia ever attacked us?
Why does the media and the powers that be want to make Russia the enemy so bad?
Is Putin a "good guy"? No, of course not, but why the hell do we care?
So you work for free? You refuse all paychecks?
So you would do what? Bomb Russia?
You might take a close look at the 20th Century before you laugh so hard...
Or are you under the delusion that somehow, "that's it, all war is gone from Europe forever!"
Must have been "The War to End all Wars!", right?
The U.K. has nuclear weapons, don't count them out so fast...
They also have the US as their best friend, a lot of America would stand with the U.K.
Long term, it might mean war... unless you think that is old fashioned...
Oh look, it is Angel again, the moron who still has no idea what he is talking about...
Go back to your basement, lets the adults talk about this, you're clueless...
Melted and melting are two different things... one day you'll learn to read and life will get better for you...

Try using your brain, slowly... those aren't any more reputable...
Solar makes very little sense outside of limited applications where it counts... or it would rapidly replace coal, which it isn't...
But one day you'll grow up and maybe have a chance to understand such things... but probably not, because most people don't want to learn...

Green peace is not a source, it is propaganda...
If solar was cheap, it wouldn't require all this attention, it would just happen.
Words matter and the poor snowflakes are unwilling to call a spade a spade...
Him, not her... don't feed into that bullshit, he was born a man and will always be one, no matter what parts he cuts off.
That is not how science works
Of course they could... but at what price? Are you willing to pay 50 cents per KWh? I'm not...
If China doesn't do anything then our own actions mean nothing.
United States could reduce pollution to zero and it would not change the outcome if nobody else cuts.
Yep, that's why our modern tanks full of electronics are just useless...
Oh wait, no they aren't, because you're an idiot who has no idea what he is talking about...
Yep, that's it, all electronic weapons in the world are now useless, thanks to your brilliance!
Oh, wait... no, that didn't happen at all...
