    I think Trump is telling the truth when he claimed during the primary that he needs neither money nor possessions. His name alone, when licensed properly, is enough for him. I'm surprised you don't understand that. Just look at the contracts he has negotiated over the past 40 years: All the risk has always been on other people.

    No, Putin is Trump's flunky (if he ever wants Trump Tower Moscow built, that is).

    Well, for that matter, the real danger of Trump is that nobody can afford to make him a lower paid flunky like they did to Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama.

    Exactly right, and thus you need 3Ghz in your pocket. And in your other pocket, a small refrigerator for additional cooling. And in a third pocket, a small nuclear reactor to power it all.

    Peat is a form of coal. And charcoal burners create charcoal out of wood from above the ground.

    "The coal we burn comes from hundreds of millions of years ago."

    Not all of it. Like I said, dig down about 20 feet in any given forest, you'll find coal. Yes, most of the coal that enters the market comes from those Wyoming mines right now, but that isn't all the coal there is or ever will be.

    There are shallow pools of oil in the forests of the Yucatan and tar pits in Los Angeles that are much, much younger than that.

    There are coal pits in the Pacific Northwest forests that are likely less than 500 years old.

    Not all "Fossil fuels" come from the Carboniferous era.

    They've found oil underneath forests in Mexico. And there is evidence that when you find oil underneath plant life, those oil fields naturally replenish themselves.

    Petroleum comes from plants. Over a few thousand years (we used to think millions, but it's pretty easy to show that decomposition of plants under pressure happens much, much quicker).

    All the carbon that is released from petroleum, originally came from the atmospheric carbon soaked up by plants.

    So it is your belief that carbon miraculously appears when human beings exhale and it didn't need to come from a carbon source?
