What we need to do is just blow NK to bits. Put 3 carrier groups offshore and just blow up every single bridge, railroad center, missile site, power plant, factory, and all other signs of modern infrastructure until it's been bombed back to the stone age. This should make CNN happy because they're doing every single thing in their power to try and make it happen.
I look at the levels of carbon being released yearly into the atmosphere and I see no slow down globally. Many western nations are cleaning up their act but globally the numbers are rising, not dropping. Solar and WInd power are starting to be implemented but we are nowhere near replacing fossil fuels. Globally somewhere around 25% of greenhouse gas emissions are from electricity and heat production. Industry is responsible for 21%. Agriculture, Forestry and other land use another 24%. Transportation is 14% and home activity such as cooking and heating (I assume fireplaces and such) pull down another 6%. So if we eliminate carbon in electrical generation and transportation amounts that to about 40% of the problem solved. If we get rid of ALL of that we still have a huge year over year carbon increase. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it. I just don't see it happening in less than 30 to 50 years. Meanwhile ice keeps melting and seas keep rising. Don't buy any beach front property.
It would help to move away from fossil fuels true, but it will NOT solve global warming. And we are at best 3-5 decades from being fossil fuel free worldwide. At best we might only end up with 100 feet of sea level rise in the next century or so instead of 200 feet. Personally, if I had any high dollar oceanfront property I'd sell it now.
To make any difference requires a drastic change in modern lifestyles. I mean massive and complete change in how modern man lives. Given that you can't convince a majority of people to give up their cars, air conditioning, beef and hundreds of other things that would have to go plus do something about population growth I don't see any real solution. A global thermonuclear war might solve it but that brings it's own problems. Without a world government exercising dictatorial and draconian laws we're on a course for a hotter planet. That or maybe technology will save us. People watching GW advocates like Gore travel the world in a private jet and living in a mansion the size of a small town aren't going to give up modern luxuries.
There are reporters that don't let their biases control what they report. It's just very few are part of any major news outlet. Those are all agenda driven.
My local power co-op is investing heavily in solar. They are planting hundreds of acres that once grew cotton, with solar panels that harvest sunlight. The beauty of it is that in the South it gets hot as hell for most of the year when the sun is shining brightly. And they used to have to buy peak power to compensate against the heavy load of AC as compressors pump freon to cool houses, business and virtually every building everywhere. In the poorest ghetto they have window units running non-stop. At night my power usage drops to nearly nothing as these panels cease to work.
There are still some good reporters out there looking for real stories instead of focusing on the ridiculous crap that Trump rips off the top of his head at every opportunity. They just seem to get lost in the howls of outrage.
A lot of what Trump says is just meant to make the press go crazy and distract them from something else. They're like cats chasing the red dot of a laser pointer. I swear sometimes he just does it for entertainment purposes. You can take the Reality TV star off his series but you can't get him to stop playing Reality Star. It's like we have the Apprentice 2.0, DC Whitehouse Version.
I've been spending more time online than watching TV for over 2 decades. I remember dialing up a BBS that had shell account access to the internet and running an IRC client on the internet before there was home internet dialup in my neck of the woods. It was more fun and interesting than almost anything on TV. My kids hated it when I took over the TV anyway, they didn't like watching NOVA.
No. My Dad was part of the Greatest Generation. He lived and prospered during the Great Depression and served in the US Navy in WWII. He knew what sacrifice was. He took soldiers and equipment in to Omaha Beach and landed them just after the beach had been secured. He told me once when he was in his 60s (he seldom talked about the war) about seeing bodies floating in the water and heaped up on the beach. He had tears in his eyes even then decades later. He would never watch a war movie, ever.
I honestly see no solution to the global warming problem except a world dictatorship. It would require universal effort. Given that the attempt at that would see possibly billions dead I think we'd better just get ready to deal with higher sea levels and temperatures. Technology is moving in the right direction, it's just not fast enough to avoid serious warming. Eventually though I feel the level of carbon usage will drop significantly. But that's at least 3 to 5 decades away.
Taxes have all kinds of repercussions to them. I remember the "luxury" tax on Yachts back in the 80s. "Rich people can afford to pay outrageous taxes on their expensive toys" they said. Yes, they can, but they didn't get rich by being stupid. They bought Yachts overseas and over 600,000 Americans lost their jobs. An entire industry was eradicated. It shouldn't take a genius to figure out that industries that could pay this tax wont if they can find a way to avoid it. Ultimately ALL taxes are paid by the working people. Either directly or indirectly.
No need to worry about your preferred candidate ever losing again! No more nasty anarchists, white supremacists and putin lovers causing problems. Never have a Trump, ever again! The only thing wrong with democracy is the voters and this neutralizes them perfectly.
I've been on this Earth now for almost 59 years. I've seen bad times and good. Some things are better now than they were when I was a child in the 60s and 70s and many are better. Poor people today in the US, and I'm lower middle class, live better than at any time in history. This country has people desperate to come here from places that know what real poverty is. While challenges exist there is no reason to run around screaming the sky is falling. Get a grip!
I thought Rogue One was the best since the 2nd of the original series. The last Jedi wasn't very good but nothing is worse than the one with Jar Jar Binks in it. I almost got up and left the theater, I saw quite a few people that did. It was awful.

It sounds really shitty.

You can't comprehend what you read. Man you're stupid.

It's cheap steel you wont be getting. I hear the price of a Toyota may be going up by as much as $400.
The new Windows version coming soon. You'll need at least 128GB for it.

You don't seem to understand, his number among "voters" are going up. It's easy enough to see, virtually every poll shows climbing approval numbers.
I'm pro business. For businesses that pay their way. Solar is starting to do that and it's starting to take off for that very reason.

It's working though. Instead of his numbers dropping they have been steadily rising over the last few months.

This has so many interesting possibilities. But when they say Windows 10 they kill all of them.
certainly not
You missed the sarcasm tag.
