    So, you've defeated another strawman. Great.

    On fiscal and economic policy he was consistently conservative, but not so much on social issues. In other words, he is pretty much a Liberterian,

    "Libertarian". You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. Libertarians are not conservatives.

    For instance: "WE WILL ALL DIE" works to get people to care about climate change. Of course, that statement is false and ridiculous,

    So, you think we will not all die?

    Seriously?

    Planning to freeze your head?

    Normally, the country can count on conservatives to deal in facts. We base policies on science, not sentiment, we insist on people being accountable for their actions,

    Bwahahahhahahhaa!

    Funniest thing I've read for ages.

    Clean how so?

    It actually is less efficient to generate power far away, send it over the wire and charge that car than it is for it to be self powered.

    All this does is move the pollution out of the sight of the privileged elites in the city.

    All in the name of the religion of environmentalism.

    Paris is in France.

    You know, the country where 80% of the electricity is generated by nuclear reactors.

    Probably the car is made with a small part, say, the left indicator light cover, that is French, so to the French, this car is French: a great victory for the republic! Vive la France! Vive la voiture Francais! (sounds of Marseillaise in the background)...

    Why is this probable?

    You do know France has quite a large car and truck industry?

    (Although this case is a bit odd - The "Blue Car" is made by a paper manufacturer, mostly as a demo of their battery technology).

    Great. So we hang around outside model airplane stores and wait for the FBI to sell us some C4.

  10. Re:What truly makes me sad however... on 150th Anniversary of Greenhouse Climate Theory · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Isn't the point of science to prove or disprove theories? Just because this is 150 years old doesn't mean it should be taken off the list of what can and cannot be proven.

    Absolutely.

    But theories that haven't been disproved in 150 years are the ones to bet on.

    Disprove it - get a Nobel.

    That's what all the climate scientists are trying to do.

    Could you please cite the errors you've found in AR7.

    It would be nice to get them fixed before it's published.

    By the way, I suppose it was the OPERA neutrino experiments that lead to the development of your time machine. I know it's off topic but could you let us know a few of the details. Thanks.

    Don't be stupid - straw is carbon neutral.

    had the argument been framed as "medicare for all" I think it would have gone much better and would have cut back on the people with "keep the government out of my medicare" signs.

    Texas police wouldn't have been so stupid, the ATF who thought they were bad ass on the other hand, fucked it up royally. In Texas, lawmen are smart enough to realize they other guy not only probably has a gun, its probably bigger too. You tend to be much less of an asshole when you aren't given a massive advantage.

    So the google search http://www.google.com/search?q=texas+police+brutality will come up empty?
