which means it's basically a corporation with supranational powers
you DO realize some corporations are already larger than some small countries ? And many of these companies are under financial control of a frighteningly small group of people ?
not terribly distant future where we can harvest solar energy and maybe even Fusion energy which provide ridiculous amounts of energy at potentially low prices?
they said the same about fission. I see Wind and solar power get a bit cheaper, cheaper than oil/coal/nuclear, but probably not by a wide margin.
from wikipedia, article : "Current sea level rise"
Global average sea level rose at an average rate of around 1.7 ± 0.3 mm per year over 1950 to 2009 and at a satellite-measured average rate of about 3.3 ± 0.4 mm per year from 1993 to 2009,[3] an increase on earlier estimates.[4] It is unclear whether the increased rate reflects an increase in the underlying long-term trend
since 1945 no war has been waged in western and northern Europe. That's 67 years and counting. That's a record for the last 1000 years, I call that a +bold +fontsize+20 WIN/fontsize/bold
I suspect you mean Market Economy Watts. The term market economy, which is being used in Economic "science"(term used very liberally here) is so far removed from reality, does not apply.

FACTS:
1:CO2 induces the greenhouse effect, TEST THIS YOURSELF.
-->here is the wikipedia article on the greenhouse effect:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_effect
-->and here are the youtube links showing HOW to do an experiment showing CO2 induces the greenhouse effect
repeat them

2:Humans emit a LOT of CO2 (oil or coal + O2 + ... = energy + CO2 + soot + ...)
1+2 = default position is AGW, you need to provide proof of NOT-AGW
is that the same hand that saved all those banks ?
Installed some thicker curtains to block more sunligh
shutters work fantastically. and insulation. Nothing can beat those 2 at ROI. (paybacktime sometimes estimated to be at 2 years !)
unexpectedly, democracy works ! EP win against EC !
the military is being paid by the state. how is that for a socialistic scheme ?
carrot for the top 1%, stick for the rest.
clearly too much money
indeed. check the NASA budget vs. DOD budget. I don't ever see a republican complain about DOD budget ...
haters gonna hate, no matter what.

Where there is no representation to the person on the street
are you from the US? the irony of that is mind-boggling ... 2 parties in NOT a democracy.

all buyers and sellers have information on all current transactions
it's also one of the prerequisites of economic 'science'.
If person A is allowed to kill person B, then person A removes the freedom to live from person B. QED: freedom cannot exist without limits.

so one mm ? you get that in ONE year.
or you end up with government mandating insurance so people aren't free to take risk and just eat their losses
If you are a big company, the government will take care of the bill.
The latter is infringing on people's freedom.
wrong. Some things have to be forbidden, such as : murder,theft,rape,pollution. Freedom has limits: my freedom ends where yours begins.
so ... disallowing corporations to kill is the same as destroying freedom ?
Sad, sad times for our European cousins.

uclear plant built would be built to modern safety standards which prevent such disasters from being possible
I can't recall any time when mandatory, arbitrary efficiency/emissions standards have lowered costs.
CFL's ? they are expensive, but they last a lot longer than incandescents.
that's ridiculous.
but only the people willing to pay that much are ridiculous. Nice job Marc. I would like to pull off the same stunt.
didn't undervalue themselves
16 billion is about $18 per user. that's ridiculous.
Can't you protect the laptop/baby with plexiglass?
And unless you have a rather strange habit of ingesting your computers when they've reached their useful life span
Actually ... we eat everything that is being throw away. ditching your pc in the garbage does not magically make it disappear.
