Seriously, if Google, FB, Twitter, MS, etc got together and put up a NEUTRAL news agency (i.e. no political agenda), and then went around the globe like Reuters does, they could do some major good. Ideally, have them buy faux news and make them quit with fake news.
LOL.
You have always been a fuck up, but this one takes the cake.
First, adding to your GDP, will only add on average, the same amount of CO2. After all, the whole point is that normalization produced an AVERAGE of the CO2 / $ GDP. Add 1M to GDP and you just added a bunch more CO2 to accomplish it. The ONLY way to game this one, is to lower your CO2, OR increase the $GDP, with the same CO2.
Then you speak of adding a bunch of construction of empty buildings. I can not imagine a WORST way to increase your GDP. Why? Because your nation does such a HORRIBLE job on construction WRT environment and CO2. You erect bamboo scaffolding and then throw away the bamboo after the project. That means that you have to go harvest a lot more of it. Your equipment is actually some of the highest polluting in the world. Your approach to making Concrete is huge on CO2 emissions. One of the worst in the world. And you think that building a bunch of empty buildings will actually cause your CO2 / $GDP to go down? Not a chance.
THe ONLY way to game this, would be to raise your money against the dollar, which would then mean that your exports would fall, since the costs are not being subsidized. IOW, by doing CO2 / $ GDP, there is no real way to game this.
And if America was to simply make the tax slowly increasing and make the bottom 10% of the nations pay 10% of that tax, and so on, there would be a STRONG incentive for nations and states to drop their CO2 emissions so as to get into the lower brackets. Note that businesses would then simply push the various govs to clean up, or they would shift the parts and final work elsewhere. Of course, if the nations that pick up the slack do not work towards lowering their CO2 while increasing their GDP, they will move up the ladder on CO2.
So, yeah, this is the ONLY way that it will work correctly. Per capitia is worthless.
In fact, to add to bill's point, China is currently building another 700 coal plants ( this is after stopping the 100 ). About half are foreign. China is going to add new coal plants to nations that do not even have coal and continue to sell them coal. Keep this in perspective. Each of those are ~1 GW or China is adding another 3/4 TW of coal plants.
Instead itakes far more sense to make these solar/wind, but nuclear SMR should be an option.
But coal is the worst option going.
Totally agree about 3rd world. It really is about what is affordable. In this regard, having first and 2nd world (including China ) install more AE equipment will lower costs.
Oddly, many ppl do not realize it is cheaper to save watts, then to generate them.
And when it comes to CO2, it is far more productive to STOP new production as those nations will push those plants to run 50+ years.
Actually, in America, I would like to see us require on new buildings below 6 stories, enough on-site unsubsidized AE to equal the monthly energy of HVAC usage. This leaves things up to builder how best to do things. More importantly, they can choose more insulation, better HVAC ( i.e. geothermal ) and lower the energy needed a great deal.
First and foremost, we need to quit exporting our 'trash'. This is a resource that should be kept local and used.
Seriously, we have robotics that can dissemble many of the electronics. Some of it, i.e. the plastics, can, and should, be used for a thermal electricity. At the same time,the rest should be melted down and separated into various elements and then used right away, or stored. FOr example, the mercury and lead can be stored in old mines, until a new use is found for them (and we will).
The electricity generation and selling of some of the elements (gold, silver, etc) will likely pay for the rest.
They are making better use of the net to manipulate the west and our democratic ways. Both Russia and China continue to block information getting to their citizens, while at same time they buy their way into our businesses, and minds.
Where in the constitution or in our laws does it say that intelligence world must share data with a traitor? Bear in mind that he has been caught giving classified info to both Russia and China post election.
Hey asshole. Fully back the constitution and our laws. It is because of those that these ppl were denied access to information. And as to this being a coup for denying a traitor access to data that he has already proved he will share with Russia/China, kind of makes me wonder about you comrade. Why do u hate our constitution so much that you do not understand it? Nowhere in it does it say that we must turn over sensitive data to a traitor? Heck, ex-general Flynn had his clearance revoked because he was found to be conspiring with Russia. Does the constitution say that he must get info? Nyet there comrade.
Once you offshore, you no longer have control. MOre importantly,the other ppl will figure out that they can compete directly against you in the same way that China's manufacturers compete against the idiots that are dumb enough to go there.
I would put security as number 2. BUT again, few are noticing that all of the companies being cracked by the russians have outsourced esp the production admin portion.
Classified is classified. Period. U need a security clearance of the right type. And yes, even the president must be vetted. Trump/pence are the first to fail. And no. The intelligence world is doing the right thing. Or do u believe in handing over all of our most sensitive information to a traitor just because they were elected president?
Same thing is happening here by Russia and China. And with AI coming, it is going to get worse. This is why I believe we need digital keys to prove who we are.
no, not blinded by hatred. In fact, just the opposite.
Where I have an issue with Trump is that the intelligence world refused him, pence, and his original admin ANY security clearance. They were all considered traitors. Even at this time, the intel world severely limits what intel Trump/Pence get. Only the 3 generals get full access. And note that Flynn was a retired general who had his security clearance revoked while on the trump campaign trail .
This speaks volumes about all of them. VERY LOUDLY.
As to the selling a U mine to Russia, that is very much a none issue. Even the DOD and intell world were fine with it. It is not as though anybody under O force this through. Besides, we have PLENTY of U around America.
Personally, I am far more concerned that Trump and the GOP has allowed CHina to take control over California Pass mine which is the single largest known source of Rare Earth on the globe. Sadly, few are noticing this. And while there is PLENTY of U mining around the globe (Australia, Canada, America to name but a few), rare earth is now heavily controlled by China.
pretty bad indeed.
However, things are going to get worse all over. Here in America, you have to be born in American land (states, territory, or military base) to be able to be president/VP. So, now, there are 10's of 1000s of CHinese that have come over here for the last 15 years that are 2-3 months pregnant and then return back to CHina with their child having an American citizenship. So, starting in 5 years, they can run for congress, and in 20 years, run for president, all while having been raised in China.
As the saying goes, may you live in interesting times.
The real issue is not the social media, but the fact that ppl, like business executives, have ZERO responsibility. As such, they can be as destructive as they want.
Look at/..
We have trolls here that hide as AC. Cool. There is a need for ACs, but not like we have it.
Instead, we could easily solve this issue by simply allowing ppl to block ACs that are at say 1 or 0 and below. The moderators would not be allowed to do this. In addition, we should have the ability to have VETTED digital keys to verify a user and then start them off at say level 2. And yes, if they get good karma, they go up to 3. Why? Because they have reason to not want to lose that status. OTOH, ACs, many General users do not mind switching out constantly.
But, the issue comes down to responsibility. And Executives, illegal aliens, and ACs have ZERO responsibility which allows for bad behavior.
Lol. It is bad for the west to ignore China's and Russia increased spying. So, yeah, it is bad. And we read in the paper that when your bosses catch western spies in your city, they boot em out of China. So yeah.
Absolutely, we are all spying all over. However, China has been stepping it up. Basically, they are focusing less and less on internal matters and more to external.
Personally, I have the utmost respect for Merkel, but there are times that I wonder if she should not be a bit more eastern German.
And yeah, trump is absolutely the wrong president for this moment. There are some major changes about to happen in.the world dealing with china, and Russia, but esp China. And this traitor allowed himself to be bought.
It has been there all the time. They are just taking a different tack. It is long past time for the west, esp nato nations, to restore the security approach that we had during the last cold war. After all, both China and Russia see themselves in a cold war with the west.
that was from may which is 7 months ago. Their are still over 700 plants being built as of Nov 2017 which is 1 month ago. And note that these are being BUILT, not just planned.

this really shows one of the biggest issues, which is inefficiency by gov and business. if America would start taxing goods/services based on where worst part comes from, use satellites to get precise measurements, and normalize based on kg /$GDP, then it would stop all the coal growth quickly.
In fact, to add to bill's point, China is currently building another 700 coal plants ( this is after stopping the 100 ). About half are foreign.

Fox is downplaying Russia's and CHina's impact on the west esp where it concerns Trump/GOP.
As such, it means that you are way wrong.
And yet,
It is amazing.
What is happening around the world with this.
In fact, it is happening in America,but slowly.
First and foremost, we need to quit exporting our 'trash'. This is a resource that should be kept local and used.
