I love how we are more than happy to give the glory to God for creating a cure, but some how we over look that it was God that created the cancers in the first place.
But yet you think that lines on a map are important when you want to assign blame to people of the US? But not when the finger is pointed at the biggest polluter, China? So its only important when you can blame the U.S?
You see you are not looking to solve the problem? You are just looking for someone to blame. Since you can't blame the whole U.S. any more as the number one polluter, you pull out this per capta crap so you can continue to do so.
We get it, you hate the U.S. But here is something for you think about. There are 1.2 billion Chinese. While U.S. emissions have been on the decline for more than a decade. Yes, we used to be the first, now we are the second. What do you think will happen as those 1.2 billion Chinese want to start emitting like the average U.S. does?
We won't talk about India and Africa who are about to surpass the U.S. in emissions in probably the next decade. Will you shuffle the numbers around again so you can continue to blame the U.S?
An, no I don't hate China, India, or Africa. The point is silly people like you want to pass the blame but don't want to do anything about it. You have to recognize where all the true issues are to deal with it. Shuffling around numbers so you can still have your favorite boogy man doesn't solve squat.
Blaming individual people won't make the problem any better. We have to work with countries as a whole because that is the way our society is set up.
You should stop being jealous of people who are smarter than you and get modded up more than you do.
No, the total amount we need to worry about is by country. You want to know why? Do you? Let me make sure I use small words so you can understand.
We are still divided along tribal lines. Which means any laws that need to be passed will need to be passed at the government level. To control the problem we have to work on that level.
I found studies answering my own questions. A simple google search would let you find the same things. Since I'm not proposing any thing outrageous, why do I need to do your research for you?
I did a little bit of reading on this subject just now. I found some studies that state there are natural sources of CFCs. Then I found another paper that says there are natural sources of CFC.s
From reading that paper I believe its safe to say there are natural sources of CFCs. But these sources are insignificant to really matter.
An I'm still waiting for someone to tell my why its important that we know how much is made per person. An to explain why the total a country produces as a whole doesn't matter.
China dumps more green house gasses in the environment as a whole than any other country. By some studies, twice as much. And every study agrees that this is only going to go up.
It doesn't matter how much one person emits. What matters is the total fucking amount emitted by every one.
Of course, and they will bounce back, even if it takes 5000 years
It's not a question of it recovering, or how long. Given time, despite everything mankind does to the planet, the Earth will eventually recover. New species will evolved to replace extinct ones. Environments poisoned will recover.
No, the question is. Will be be around to see these recover?
If he runs in 2020. I'm still thinking this presidential gig is a bucket list thing for him. Now that he has crossed it off his list, I'm betting he will not run again in 2020.
Not factoring his his ego of course. I watched his speech last night in Nashville. The man loves to hear himself talk.
I did note something interesting while playing Adventure. That is probably why I played the games for five minutes.
After a few minutes of play I noted how my brain translated the muscle memory from, almost 40 years ago, to a different control system. I've not play Adventure in 4 decades, and then it was with a joystick. I played it through with keyboard arrow keys this time. After a few minutes of game play my brain translated the old joystick muscle memory to fit the arrow keys. I was gliding through the mazes like I had last played the game yesterday. I navigated them with no thought to it.
A good story I heard from a friend that a geologist at his university proposed to another geologist with a special ring. It contained a rock, a real honest to god rock.
Maybe not starving because they can't afford diamonds. But they certainly are starving because they can't sell the diamonds they mine with out being apart of the "system." We won't talk about people being killed mining the damn things, or the wars that are being financed by them.
I doubt even Switzerland has banks large enough to store those huge mountains of gravel
This is not the first time I've heard De'beers diamond hoard compared to road gravel. A documentary I watched on the diamond industry stated that if it was for the artificial scarcity diamonds would be plentiful enough to cheaply gravel your driveway with.
After all, if even one of the (100s of) millions of transistors in a CPU core malfunctions, the whole core is relatively much useless
Non-sense. I have a "defective" cpu core encased acrylic sitting here on my desk. Even with "malfunctioning" transistors is perfectly suited to holding down the bleached and pressed tree remains from being relocated by the oscillating air movement device that I sometime employ to reallocate the rooms thermodynamic properties.:)
I'm actually pleased with some of the younger generation that I talk too. A great deal of them do not see gold and gems purely for their monetary value. For example my son sees an ouch of gold and the first thing he asked me was how much gold wire could be made out of that for cpu's.
Personally my favorite gem is a ruby. I think that stems from the time I was 8 years old and wondering how I could get a hold of one big enough to make a ruby laser out of. I saw the designs in a comic book.
This guy is a fool. They are just as real as anything you can pull out of the ground. I, for one, will not shed a tear when this diamond jewelry thing crazy BS is dead and buried. The sooner the better.
I go through a nostalgia phase about every two years for something. I find that keeping a good stock of emulators on hand usually cures that. Last one was a few weeks ago after watching Ready, Player One. I was over come with a strange desire to play Adventure on the 2600. I fired it up on a emulator less than 5 minutes later my nostalgia was cured.

The fact that the molecule has four of these weird bonds makes it really suspicious. Someone is definitely making this shit.
Well that blows. Thanks for bring me up to date.

Nice spin. Let me toss you one out there too.

Any chance this could be natural? I'm pretty sure it isn't but just asking.
Of course, and they will bounce back, even if it takes 5000 years

I'm not actually sure if he expected to win, BTW, or if it was a reality TV stunt gone too far... Flag as Inappropriate
With his ego? No doubt in my mind when he came down that escalator in 2015 he expected to win.
If he runs in 2020. I'm still thinking this presidential gig is a bucket list thing for him. Now that he has crossed it off his list, I'm betting he will not run again in 2020.

That is actually pretty brilliant, sneaky, but brilliant.
Just to be clear here. You know I'm just angling for that +1 funny post mod?
Or a real rock.
A good story I heard from a friend that a geologist at his university proposed to another geologist with a special ring. It contained a rock, a real honest to god rock.
Couldn't resist it could you? You where actually making sense and sounding sane till you TDS kicked in.

Yeah, lets run with that till i come up with something better.
