if the other Allies hadn't "rescued" France during WWII, they most certainly would have lost everything.
You know, there was this little thing called the revolutionary war, and if the French hadn't "rescued" us we'd all be eating fish & chips and biscuits.
Get some perspective, and a bit of an education before you blurt out lines you've heard other idiots use.
Wrong! Science is supposed to be provable and reproducable. None of the conclusions of the glabal warming crowd are provable, period. In fact, in my opinion, there is more proof that this may be one of the planets "cycles" - e.g. ice age style environment changes.
Are really so many slashdotters global warming deniers?
No one is denying global warming, in general. I have seen the data and I agree that over the past decades the average earth temperature has risen slightly. I disagree with the conclusions that anyone has reached based on this.
I would suggest another reason for your/.ers observation: We are intelligent and thoughtful so we do not listen to whatever crap comes out of someones mouth. We tend to be thinkers and problem solvers, which allows us to see alternatives to generally accepted answers and solutions. Basically, we are not sheep - unless we're being anti-MSFT - we think for ourselves and take everything with a grain of salt. I would also argue that this is much more true for the early adopters of/.
I don't know s**t about science, or the atmosphere or anything else related to this CO2 level thing. But I can tell you this: I am tired of hearing all these cries from scientists about global warming and CO2 levels, and all this other stuff.
First, if I remember correctly from grade school, humans have been on this planet for an very small fraction of the earths "life", so how can they even pretend to assume they have any clue what is going on here?
Second, a decade here or there does not a trend make - especially when you are talking about such a huge amount of time.
Can't someone just say, "This is weird, the CO2 levels have risen quite a bit but we have no idea what that means, we'll have to watch it over the next 100 years to see what happens"
Oh, and for those of you who are going to tell me: "We have to be cautious, and make sure we don't harm the planet" I say, If the planet doesn't like what we're doing we will be killed off - perhaps along with all other life as well - and the planet will slowly move back to an equilibrium. Done deal.
How is this business plan different from the old MP3.com's?
MP3.com got shut down for essentially doing the exact same thing. The only difference is who 'owns' the material. In MP3.coms case it was the user, in this case it is Netflix.
Does that make a 180 degree difference in the legality of this effort?

Morally? Why would we even care about the morals of either situation? I was simple describing an event that took place.
It's called history for a reason and the facts speak for themselves.

Why do you have to drink it?
How about using it to water lawns, wash cars, put out fires, etc, etc.
Perhaps down the line you may need to, but in the mean time use it for other tasks and keep the "fresh" water for drinking.
This argument could be used against most science.
