    Yes, and no. The mail oil port on the side of Saudi Arabia is within range of coastal missile batteries

    With the postal system being downsized next year, do we really need that much mail oil?

    Brief synopsis of some of your favorites:

    The Simpsons: Nuclear operators are stupid idiots
    Pan Am: Stewardesses are stupid idiots

    It is time for nations to put taxes on ALL GOODS based on the CO2 emissions

    [snide]
    I've heard that one single volcanic eruption can put out more CO2 than one years worth of human emissions. Thus, we should tax those nations that have volcanic eruptions! If we can get them to pay up for their eruptions, then the GW problem would be solved!
    [\snide]

    Why is the "solution" to Global Warming always to increase Taxes? It sounds more like a government revenue increase than any kind of solution to the perceived problem. When the government gets money, they spend it on things like pictures of plastic Jesus statues in bottles of urine. It might help the urine industry, but who really cares beyond that?

  11. Re:Is global warming science or a religion? on Kyoto Protocol Renewal Efforts Struggling · · Score: 0

    And, if 97% voted to make PI exactly 3, then we should use that constant in all of our designs.

    In fact, the Bible gives 3 as the value of PI, which proves it to be true. I'm sure I could come up with a selection of scientists and hairdressers that would vote for 3, especially if I told them they would lose their funding if they voted the "wrong" way.

    Voting is not science. That is much closer to religion. Give me some proof that gives predictable results if you want to call. it science.

    If everyone lived with those principles, we'd basically be robbing resources from our kids. By those standards there's no incentive to think long-term.

    Yet, you voted for Obama, who has put more debt on your kids than ALL the previous presidents combined, in less than 2 years. So, actual unbelievable debt is unimportant, but a untestable theory about a 0.1 degree increase in temp over 100 year period is overwhelmingly important.

    Throwing a trillion dollars at fusion power might,

    Fusion power has been estimated to be 20 years away since it was first proposed. The more they understand it, the farther away it becomes. And the Government throwing more money at it will probably be as useful as them throwing that kind of money at campaign contributors (oops, I mean shovel ready jobs). They place the money where they feel it will get them the most votes, not where it will do the most good.

    Great, I've always had some Canadian questions.
