    To blame or not is irrelevant, when your the leader of a country you get the luxury of excuses. it's how he handles them that's important, and sending the country into debt isn't how you fight financial problems.

    And yes the coalition had a filtering policy, it was free filtering software they would send you on request. a perfectly reasonable and much cheaper solution.

    Oh but kevin was supposed to be our savior, much the same as your Obama.

    if it wasn't so outrageous it'd be funny, labour gets back into power and the first thing they do is give us a 100 billion debt and filter our internet.

    so if your all wrong in 30 years this is the line your going to give me? i bet back in the day you said those 44 were funded by big oil.

    the amusing part in this even if it was just hype by a few vocal media whores (sounds familar, Al Gore i'm looking at you), between 1940 and 1980 the world actually did have a cooling trend, even though we were pumping out CO2 the whole time.

  15. Re:indium on Why Sustainable Power Is Unsustainable · · Score: 1
    if your going to make that argument you must accept that the same will happen with oil, denouncing the peak oil theory your crowd is so fond of. your claim about indium is also misleading, because while there is lots of indium in the crust it's not possible to extract it.

    i got my tip on indium running out from a major supplier and installer of solar panels in my area last year. i've actually commissioned a couple of mid sized solar setups unlike most people on here, right tool for the job and all that...

    "I'm not sure it matters too much why"

    you can't be serious? what if in your attempts to "fix" the problem you end up fucking with the earths natural cycles, making things worse?

    frankly i'm horrified people are taking the stance that any action is better than no action just because we don't understand the situation.

  18. Re:Wrong Premise on Why Sustainable Power Is Unsustainable · · Score: 1
    calling skeptics "deniers" is like something out of the salem witch trials. And frankly people are right to cast doubt on many of the claims from your camp - just look at how you all suddenly call it climate change instead of global warming. that has come about because your claims of continued warming haven't proven to be true, we are actually experiencing a cooling trend at the moment.

    then there is the issue that CO2 has never been considered a significant greenhouse gas, but now suddenly it's THE reason for it? it's just not true.

    these same climate experts were also spouting off that there would be an ice age not so long ago. i think most genuine skeptics like myself simply have their bullshit alarms going off when people refuse to even discuss the posibility that the sky is in fact not falling. we support environmental reforms and conservation, but it needs to be done with our heads not hearts.
