    my economy is hardly centrally controlled. if everyones' goal is to better themselves, then that is the work they do, and they provide services for others just so they can get better at what they do.

    actually, wind power can replace the energy needs of the US, we just need to place the turbines in the right places and put enough of them out there.

  20. Re:$6-200 Trillion? on Space Ring Could Combat Global Warming · · Score: 1

    I was referring to the prices of the goods.

    an economy is based on what the value of something is, no one said that we had to use cash or gold. People need objects of value for their services only because they need to gain the necessary things for life and then provide their wants and desires as well.

    pay those people in that, and then those people who provide the needs and desires in kind, and you have created an economy based on mutual benefit and mutual gain.

    how about getting rid of economy all together and have a society based on personal growth and collective welfare?

    actually, Ice cores can tell us all about ancient atmospheres and climatic conditions.
    so you are wrong there.

    as for the recent blackout, they are talking about particulate pollutants, such pollutants are known to be transient and do fly away in a few days time from the areas they were created. the long period of the black out would have given the power plant exhaust plenty of time to settle to earth or be swept away by the prevailing winds.

    life might be tenacious, but civilization is not. and it is civilization that has given us what we have today, not the mere fact of being alive.

  23. Re:Yes, but... on Space Ring Could Combat Global Warming · · Score: 1

    You then do not know the difference between Global Warming (a heating trend which has visible effects on the globe by way of weather patterns and ice cap melting etc.) and the "green house" effect (a theoretical cause for global warming)

    is it us or nature? well let me ask you, if we cannot tell, yet we know that CO2 causes a problem for earth as far as radiating heat back into space, then what do you think we might want to do? play it safe (I.E. CONSERVATIVLY) and try to cut CO2 emissions as much as technically possible (not fiscally reasonable to those who are in power), or ignore the rise in temperature and go about our business?

    you are a complete dip wad. the globe is warming., weather patterns are changing, the ice caps are melting, and the gulf stream is slowing.

    the only pseudo science is the crap that the bush administration put out.
