When we honestly look at who is controlling society today it is not corporations or 'capitalists', but government that takes over 50% of the entire GDP output of the country.
Government does this by over a half dozen methods beyond taxes and fees, including dictates on what you must buy and use in both personal life (extras for cars) and business (protecting everything from snail darters to calories of our meals.)
For all the "scientific" discussion about the topic in hand, few are still reminding the populace that no scientific theory has been able to predict the changes in total solar output & solar flares over any long period of time! This is an enormous hole in the knowledge needed to do predictions that mean anything.
Solar output conditions dramatically alter the surface temperatures surprise (this winter notice the current so-called "solar maximum" with a "solar flare minimum" and the medieval Maunder minimum).
Until you can accurately predict solar output over a century with some degree of proven accuracy, the climatologists are, well, just guessing.
We need a mathematical model of how the Sun's engine works, but we simply do NOT HAVE IT.
Memory can be incresed by, I know you want to know, both daily exercise and by travelling to different areas, towns, venues to stimulate thinking and logic.
Trying these are basically low cost options to improvement that anyone can do.
You are right that 4 degrees Centigrade over a hundred years might be bad for current citizens and that begs another question when it comes to food and water supplies.
Given the world's climate change and the chance that it is cataclysmically caused by humans results in the question as to whether we have exceeded the number of humans that the earth can support in a stable manner.
Try to get a resolution through the UN on that one to reduce population! Trying to reduce man made effects, like not enough water, is not going to cause nations to reduce their population and any such suggestion will be called genocide.
Eventually overpopulation in the animal world corrects itself with massive die-offs. I doubt humans are immune from this. Overpopulation, lack of food and water will probably cause wars in the near future. History is a good teacher.
Sorry, but the Sun has everything to do with climate change when combined with the variable orbit geometry of the Earth around the Sun.
We will reenter the next ice age and Canada will again get covered by a kilometer or two of ice and all existing shipping harbors will become dry land.
It will probably take another 50,000 years, but it will happen on the 110,000 year cycle that has repeated at least a couple dozen times now.
Sales, medical, Medicare workers, government, retail and others I see are showing up with iPads literally every day.
You don't need to use a laptop-netbook-keyboard to enter a name or date or answers to a few questions or a food order at your local burger joint. iPads are pervasive.
You are talking about redirecting amounts of energy in a wall of water than may be 10-20 feet high or more, yet it comes in as a solid wave and the elevation stays at that height causing water to move inland extremely fast for a long time.
It would be easy to calculate what amount of energy that would be in a width of a town: E =.5 * mass x v^2. You are talking about amounts of energy that would dwarf anything a major multi-unit power plant could produce.
The article's title is patently false and provable as such. Time to report reality.
The Earth's orbital changes around the Sun varies from more circular to more elliptical and its axis wobble changes and the net effect is that the different solar inputs are what causes the major climate shift on about a 110,000 year cycle.
The Sun rules. Eventually as the Sun becomes a Red Giant, the Earth will become hotter until all life and water evaporates and eventually the Sun will effectively consume the Earth.
In a very short period of time, other factors may cause climate changes including asteroids, volcanism, forest fires and mankind's creation of soot, CO2 and such.
If you are doing things that affect large powerful organizations in potentially negative way, you already know you are a target. Deal with it with hardened software, but don't forget that most secret information is lifted with social engineering (inside jobs of dozens of types.) Someone gives the combo to the safe away!
If you are not stepping on government, NSA or mega-corp toes, standard encryption techniques are probably just fine, but that is just one of the lines of defense.
If our legislators allow this sort of bastardization of our system, it is time to vote them all out and get in people who represent us, period.
Freedom of knowledge of what our government is doing in all sorts of departments is the only way we get advance warning when they are going off the rails into tyranny and dictatorial powers.
The minute you standardize, the standards organization then tries to make or suggests it should be compulsory.
That often restricts innovation in many ways. It is one thing to have standards for connection and interface whether electronic or mechanical, but to try to standardize a whole "charger" ignores what is going on now with resonance charging, even lower power circuits, solar boosting, etc.
This is "off topic" but illustrates why Warren Buffett once said he would not invest in Microsoft as he couldn't see a Loooong term profit stream from software.
Time will tell whether MS makes a successful switch to integrated devices.
I listened to the VP of marketing from Calif. Stem Cell recount that their limited trial of stage 4 melanoma patients had something like a 90% survival rate, which is astounding.
I know they are now getting ready to do a final 3rd clinical trial which is needed before final FDA clearance.
California Stem Cell, Inc. has been doing a similar project since about 2005 in training white blood cells of a patient to recognize malignant melanoma cells out side the body, growing large numbers of those white blood cells and then reinjecting them back into the patient. To date they have achieved some very high remission/cure rates. They have FDA clearance pending but not yet issued. The process was originally developed by doctors at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach, CA as I recall from a speach.

This could potentially be a boon for Iceland's economy for heavy electrical use industry.
But the government has finally figured out how to track and eventually control everyone. Just not fully implemented.
Now that is a real priority for government.

How do you fix a Rube Goldberg foundation under a building? You demolish it and start over.

Driver gets in the back seat with his honey (or kids) and the other kid gets bored & gets behind the wheel and "takes over."

Our wonderful government has learned from tyrants very well indeed. Make your citizens afraid, very afraid.
Get on with the new world. In fact, do it on a Mac & switch between or run XP, Win7, etc simultaneously. Get real.

Thought that was exploitive and slave like to use unpaid interns.
These cause more fires than anything elseExcept gasoline powered vehicles.
Several hundred thousand car fires occur per year, but they don't make the news.
We need to know how to control a pair of amino acids called Phe396 in politicians so we can slip it into their martinis to stop their bad behavior.

The whole Obamacare thing is about an overreaching government doing what the supermajority of people in the U.S. do not want them to do.
Oregon is just an indicator of how little politicians know how to RUN A BUSINESS.
