    " maybe video conference via drone to the driver"

    Mini radio-tethered, oblique view camera drone deployed whenever a cop unholsters his weapon. Do it!

    "black drivers being pulled over because they're black, which is real"

    I'm hoping that increased use of police body cams as well as driver dash cams (obviously, two-camera models would be better) will reduce this phenomenon.

    Yes, because those who question the "science" behind CAGW hysteria are obviously Moon landing "deniers" also. Obviously. Hey, come to think of it, isn't there a discredited, nonsense paper about just that?

    I now await your thoughtful flinging of insults and attempts to take a big shitty dump on the website I just linked to because it's "funded by big oil and stupid science denier people who want to destroy the planet". Please don't disappoint me.

    No convection or precipitation inside a green house. What percentage of CO2 emissions is anthropogenic? How do you arrive at that number? Is water vapor a greenhouse gas?

    Go look up your political talking points instructions and then start flinging insults.

    OK, what percentage of "climate change" (a nebulous term if there ever was one) is *anthropogenic*? How do you measure it? How much of your own money are you willing to spend to "combat" it? I expect you're willing to volunteer unlimited amounts of other peoples' money.

    Ah, yes. The nebulous "externalized costs" that can be, well, just about anything that can be dreamt up as an excuse to discredit any type of energy generation.

    You are correct. Human thinking is now being replaced. And the pace of change is happening too fast for natural attrition to other work (whatever this "work" might be - possibly digging holes and filling them back in exchange for a government stipend). This time it's different.
