Since they cannot measure emissions, they know not of what they speak. They can measure atmospheric carbon levels, and estimate some emissions, for instance fossil fuel consumption. But a large source of emissions is concrete curing, and China is doing enormous infrastructure increases. Another is forest burning, and Amazon, California, etc are doing their part on that. Atmospheric carbon levels are emissions minus consumption. Forests consume carbon, so Amazon clear-cut / slash and burn with no replanting is a big problem, a double whammy. The ocean is the biggest consumer of carbon from the atmosphere, and it is filling up with carbon. Oceanic out-gassing of carbon has started near Antarctica. That is the biggest threat. The only way to actively combat atmospheric carbon levels is to plant fast-growing crops, like hemp or fast trees. But that is not technological and very lacking in profits for the many friends of people in office, so that will not happen. No serious kickbacks so not happening. Anything technological has carbon-polluting costs as well as carbon-consuming abilities, and what usually happens is that the (unconsidered) polluting of making the materials and equipment, and using them outweighs the supposed benefits. Methanol, for example.
I received a phishing? call, where the guy claimed I had earned the right to a new much lower interest rate on my credit cards due to my good payment record. He asked if I wanted it on my Visa or Mastercard. I said Visa. He then asked for my Visa card number. I blew up at him big time. I was at work and people in the surrounding cubes laughed at my excellent comeback. I then called the number back and got a woman with children at home who said it had been going on all day and could not get it fixed. The guy called back and asked why I had hung up on him. This time the calling number was from Egypt, with 00-00 for the last digits. Yah, right. I swore at him and hung up. He called back and asked why I was so mean. You gotta be kidding. I want to know how the phone company does not know what a call center is, what a robo-caller is, and why they cannot recognize and block all calls coming from those places. So why can't the phone number know and block calls coming from a local number where the originating call is from "far" away from the local number region? Like from a different area code or continent? Really?
Planting BT GMOs kills most Moths and Butterflies in the area around the field, as well as in it. Moths and butterflies are pollinators, so killing most of them means killing most of their pollinated plants. Many pollinated plants have very specific pollinators, so killing the moths and butterflies kills the pollinated plants. Many times, if the species is not wiped out, the bugs will develop resistance in the survivors. So eventually some of the bugs could come back slowly, in areas not inclement to the bugs. Another words, the bugs may not die out in the optimum environments, and then spread back out. This process can be very slow. They die out elsewhere because they are already weakened by the pesticide. In the meantime, foods are eliminated from our diet. People could wind u starving in some areas because of the GMOs. Other GMOs are resistant to pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides used on them. This means that stronger spraying can be done on these crops. The stronger spraying is also killing many pollinators like bees, (honey bees, solitary species, bumblebees); pollen wasps (Masarinae); ants; flies including bee flies, hoverflies and mosquitoes; lepidopterans, both butterflies and moths; and flower beetles. Vertebrates, mainly bats and birds, but also some non-bat mammals (monkeys, lemurs, possums, rodents) and some lizards pollinate certain plants. Among the pollinating birds are hummingbirds, honeyeaters and sunbirds with long beaks; they pollinate a number of deep-throated flowers. Die-offs of bees and hummingbirds are already occurring. Many food crops require pollinators, or GMO seeds. Not good for the world.
No, the worker owns nothing and has control over nothing, and can affect nothing. It is just a myth that the worker owns anything in a socialist state. The only owners are the rich. Not too different from America.
But vaccines do not always appear to prevent illness. For example: most people who get measles have been vaccinated against it. Whooping cough? Can you say ineffective vaccines? If they are ineffective, why are they pushed on us? Someone must be making money off them, or the results of them.
Uh, we always knew we didn't know. But PhD's must profess absolute certainty in their publication and pronouncements, or they lose funding and standing. So they always communicate like they know.
The economy dd not add 178,000 jobs. It lost 178,000 fewer jobs than it added. But the economy does NOT run on jobss, it runs on money. The added jobs were low pay, starting pay, minimum wage jobs, while the jobs lost included high pay, long term jobs. But pay is not dollars per hour, it is total hours times dollars per hour, which dropped. More people got their hours reduced below the min hours worked to get benefits (take-home pay cut). And who cares about the U2 unemployment figure? It means nothing. U6 is more meaningful, and it dropped to 9.3%. But the reality is total number of workers no longer in the work force, which is 95,055,000. Really, 50% unemployment?
Many GMO foodstuffs are modified so that they tolerate far greater levels of pesticides, herbicides, etc. Those GMOs may not be harmful, but the elevated levels of 'cides means elevated levels in our meals That cannot be good. Many others are modified so the pant produces pesticides, etc themselves. Again, that cannot be good. Some people have food intolerances or allergies. New chemicals in their food can set off new intolerances and allergies. Many GMO foodstuffs have been shown to NOT improve the productivity over time of a farm. Many 'cides have been shown to kill off the organic productivity of the soil, so that the farmer is more and more reliant on chemical soil boosting, to make up for soil impoverishment. There are far too many downsides to a lot of GMO, and unproven upsides. It's all a scam.
Hillary: Master, royalty, eminence, supremacy, aristocracy, nobility, gentry, upper class, elite, ruler. Us: Peon, Peasant, Serf, Servant, Slave, drudge, laborer, gopher, unskilled (in the eyes of the elite), hick, rustic, boor, bumpkin, villain, hired hand, hayseed, rube, chattel, vassal, grunt, slogger, victim, menial, thrall, captive. Bill and Hillary have enough dirt on many of the powerful ruling class to make sure anyone fool enough to challenge her would go down with her in flames. Anyone not powerful would just disappear (die) if they were seen as an impediment to her money-making schemes. Rules are made for the ruled, not the ruling class, to keep us out of their way and make sure we pay our tax. Look at Billary's open marriage. Morals and ethics are for peons, not rulers. Do you think anything else in their behavior differs in any way from that? And they really do not care that much about getting caught.
Let's face it. Hillary is not just a liar, she is a pathological liar. Just like Bill and Obama. As far as they are concerned, it is not even lying if they are talking to peons.
Are you fool enough to disagree with any of this? Clearly you have not been paying attention, or even conscious.
Social Security is not social welfare, we paid into it to get money out of it. We also paid into FISA, but can get more out than we paid in, it is insurance, and so is a type of social welfare.
A projectile uses 1 dimension + time. A line is a single dimension. Yes, effects which slow it down (air resistance, electro-magnetic fields) operate in two other dimensions outside of the line, but the line cannot "see" them. See Dragon's Egg by Robert L. Forward. Yes, the line bends, but it cannot "see" that.
The feds have always had a plan. It's crawl into a bunker and let everyone else die. It's called stick head in sand and hold their breath. It's called name-call the bearer of bad news. It's called BS their way out of the discussion. It's called lie like a big dog. It's called oo oo a new way to scam money to our friends. You actually believe people who paid 43 million dollars for a gas station in Afghanistan? So what's new?

"That do not currently appear to have a cause" is not the same as "Do not have a cause".
We are already at the point where more knowledge does us no good. For quite a while, all we learn is new ways to kill others, and degenerate.
