the concern isn't that life survives. the concern is that that something, that life that does survive, includes humanity. preferably with as little suffering, starvation, and conflict as possible.
every time I've tried to see them and it hasn't been cloudy, there's simply too much light pollution. sadly, since I need to work, I can't just drive 60 minutes (each way) outside the last brightly lit suburb in the middle of the night to see them.
ISIS came from Al Qaeda In Iraq. Al Qaeda In Iraq came to be because Bush The Lesser invaded Iraq and deposed its leader. A leader who, while being a horrible person and general pile of evil, also tended to keep a lid on extremism in his country, albeit for self-serving reasons (they threated his own power).
The pull out came because of an agreement signed by Bush the Lesser's Administration, agreeing to pull out by a certain time in 2011. The Obama administration actually tried to negotiate to stay longer, but was unable to reach an agreement with the Iraqi government. This is because the Iraqi government wanted the American troops to be subject to Iraqi laws and law enforcement.. The Obama Administration wisely said no to that condition, and therefore was compelled to adhere to the existing agreement, and pulled out.
The ensuing (actually it began before bush eevn left office) mismanagement of Iraq's defense and military btw is mostly due to the man installed in power by Bush the Lesser's administration, Maliki, started out as a moderate, but quickly became corrupt himself and began using his power (and the military) to silence or coerce his political rivals and enemies. He weakened the morale of the Iraqi troops we trained and armed, he misused them, and then when faced with an actual threat, the merging of elements in Syria with Al Qaeda In Iraq into what has become ISIS, they bailed.
Which has since causes the US to re-enter Iraq, with ever growing number of troops, begin bombing ISIS (for over 2 years now), and quite successfully. ISIS made some large initial gains because of momentum and the bailing of the Iraqi Army. However they have since been pushed back out of over half the territory they originally took.
So the point is this: calling Obama the found of ISIS in the face of the campaign against ISIS, is like calling Obama a socialist at a time when the capitalist economy of the US has never been better: pure delusional BS. If Obama is a socialist, he is the worst socialist ever. Likewise, if he is the founder of ISIS, he is horrible at it, and was only made possible by the missteps and outright lies of the administration of Bush the Lesser, the man who actually is responsible for the rise of ISIS.
of course I cant show you this list. and also please ignore the fact there is no actual evidence of it, because if there were there would be no hesitation to imprison the guilty.
but the list most definitely exists. cause AC says so.
considering his sub 7 minutes of screen time, Leto's "method acting" just becomes even more of a pile of overrated and pretentious BS. along with all the constant marketing reminders of its existence and the stupid stunts he pulled.
we are putting out more than nature is able to consume or sequester. the added foliage isn't the only effect: in the presence of increased CO2 or heat (or both) many plants become more disease/pest prone. others, particularly many staple crops, produce less of the food stuffs. or it becomes toxic.
the ability of the planet to convert of sequester CO2 from the atmosphere is actually a fairly well known concept. and the rate of emission of CO2 is similarly well known. comparing the two is fairly simple and straightforward, and yes, scientific.
their phrasing ("using up") is weak, but the concept is communicated.
as far as causing a decrease in global quality, it does, that's why the global CO2 avg ppm is now above 400, even if that is still almost unnoticeable in human physiologies at that concentration.
that's because most people don't care to learn how it works.
but most people aren't nerds, who often learn best by reverse engineering things.
by taking them apart and putting them back together again. by fiddling with a connection here or there and seeing what happens.
seriously, this is f'ing/., and instead of a bunch of nerds understanding what the process is or was, we get a constant stream of racist crap trying to tear down the kid. y'all can f right off.
what witness testimony? there was only two witnesses to the incident. and one of them died that night. there were no other witnesses
you are talking out your arse.
Zimmermann instigated the fight and then killed the kid claiming self-defense. which typically doesn't fly under self-defense; you don't get to start it and then claim self-defense. but Florida has that stupid SYG law.
the farms and settlements you speak of were in the same places people are still settled today: on the coasts on the bit of land not covered by ice. no, the ice sheet did not move south and force the Vikings out.
Because at the time of the founders the word democracy referred primarily to what we now call "direct democracy". the phrase "representative democracy" didn't exist yet, even though it means the same thing as "representative republic".
the founders used a lot of words that refer to the democratic selection of government. words like: self-rule, self-governed, voting, election, etc.
what you are essentially doing is talking about your new car, but refusing to call it a car, saying instead that it is a "motorized conveyance device".
They aren't calling it yellow face. They're calling it white savior. Because that's what it is.
If and when white people ever have a representation problem in Broadway, then you will have a point. But we're a long way from that ever being a reality.
The Ghostbusters don't have an inherent identity associated with the characters. They could be played by anyone. But making a movie about say, Mulan, an ancient Chinese folk hero, and casting Angelina Jolie in it instead of say Constance Wu would be a problem.
It's called whitewashing is she merely is cast in the role. It's yellow face if they also try to present her as Chinese. And White Savior would be if they changed the story to include a European character, played by Matt Damon, save the day instead of Mulan.
Hollywood has historically engaged in rather a lot of all three. Such as Paul Muni in the Good Earth, Katherine Hepburn in Dragon Seed, and of course Warner Oland who became famous playing the character Charlie Chan.
the problem is you don't even realize you're calling for regulation. you repeatedly refuse to recognize the utility of regulation.......even while calling for the use of it to enable free enterprise.
you are the guy who will stand up and say "I DID IT ALL MYSELF!", while ignoring every bit of government support you received along the way, whether it be your public education, the roads your goods/services travel on, or whatever.

Lucky for you, you don't, cause she never did.

JFC that was a pile of stupid.
the farms and settlements you speak of were in the same places people are still settled today: on the coasts on the bit of land not covered by ice.
no, the ice sheet did not move south and force the Vikings out.
people still use add-in soundcards?
it should be noted that most aircraft risk damage to the undercarriage above a certain speed.
