    Species that mutate faster will survive. Species that mutate slower or that move slower, will die. Good thing from an evolutionary standpoint.

    Adapt or die. Climate is always changing. Weak species will go extinct. This is a good thing if you actually believe that evolution makes species better.

    Let the free market do its job. I've long considered Bing to be a censored leftwing version of the already leftwing google, this just makes it more so.

    If you don't like it, use a different search engine.

    An interesting thought: Combine the wind farm with the CGT and put a windfarm downstream of the prevailing wind. Natural gas fired ramjet turbines generate electricity while *accelerating* the wind, which is then picked up by standard wind turbines downstream.....Nah, can't be that easy.

    Coal is indeed dying. It's not economically sustainable once the price of electricity falls below the cost of mining, which is going up every year in this country.

    It's worse than that. Upward economic mobility is a demographic collapse trap.

    The definition of rape has become so muddied by recent events that it is virtually useless. Everything is a rape these days. Marriage is rape by the standards of feminazis.

    Interesting, considering I'm a pro-lifer and do care about the unborn (well, already conceived) children. Though I care about them for a different reason: I consider depopulation to be dangerous, and genius to be so rare and unpredictable that we could have already killed off the kid who would have cured cancer.

    From climate extremism, it's not a bullshit fad. If you actually believe atmospheric carbon is dangerous, then industries involving meat, thanks to the methane produced from dung, are among the biggest polluters on the planet.

    An equally useful indicator to me is how many of these scientists who are so alarmed, have switched to zero carbon housing, locally produced green electricity, and never traveling anywhere.

    That last one is important, because the IPCC should have long ago switched to telepresence technology to cut the carbon footprint of their conferences.

    Very much so. "Catastrophic climate change" has been predicted as a waterworld since before the Kevin Costner movie. Even this one says that the poles will entirely melt by 2030- something that hasn't happened in well over 3 billion years. There was ice in the poles at carbon levels 10x what they currently are.
