If we increase CO2 emissions, we will fuck those people over in a generation or two, making their lives even worse. And we'll do ourselves some considerable harm.
The Heartland Institute is a mouthpiece for industries that emit CO2. It doesn't give a sweet fuck what happens to the Third World. Hell, these sociopaths don't even care what happens in the First World.
The overwhelming majority of climatologists are essentially paid by the taxpayers of their nations. Whether AGW is true or not, most of them would still be in related fields (atmospheric research, oceanography, geology, etc.) Climatologists have nothing to gain by AGW being demonstrated as happening, but the fossil fuel industry has an enormous amount to lose by it being generally accepted.
Note here that in the climatological community, the number of skeptics is probably around the same as the number of skeptics of evolution to be found in the biology community. There is very little controversy over AGW, no matter how much fossil fuel-funded propaganda outfits like Heartland claim there is.
You're not asked to justify abortion, you're asked to keep your fucking nose out of other peoples' business. And how many abortions in the US are late term abortions? Yes, I'm not a fucking retard and saw the clever little rhetorical trick you played there.
I'm not posting this AC, and will take the karma hit off need be.
So with that, let me say that I hope you die of some horrible cancer that makes you smell like rancid cat shit, so awful that your own mother hopes you die, but you don't, and just linger on, more foul and corrupted with each passing day, becoming as vile and repugnant on the outside as you are on the inside.
Petraeus is a part of the elite. The elite don't get real punishments. Now remember who your masters are, and beg them not to punish you for your impertinence! Oh, and Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.
Well, thanks for showing up to tell us. It's so good of you to come on to a topic that you believe completely does not belong on/. to tell us how it does not not belong on/. You are a true champion through and through! Now use your powers to find out if that pack of 100 jelly beans in fact has 100 jelly beans, or 99 or 103.
For a second I thought a member of the elite was actually going to be significantly punished, but these wise prosecutors have preserved the Aristocracy from shame!
And here come the psuedo-skeptics to attack anyone who even dares suggest what is in the interests of commercial entities may not entirely be in the interests of the wider society. I mean, God would never allow a universe to exist where humans could fuck themselves over. God wants unconstrained industries doing whatever the fuck they want, and we should just go and fucking kill anyone who ever even hints that maybe unconstrained resource extraction might possibly kind of potentially cause problems. Environmentalists are the only evil, and God loves money, CEOs, Koch brothers and AC's who post on Internet sites to condemn any concerns.
I don't think we're poor at evaluating externalized costs. I think we're just very damned good at completely ignoring them, attacking anyone who tries to remind us of them, and undermining any kind of political or social solutions that might be brought forward. We are easily lead by the nose by those willing to tell us what to hear. We're cowards.
You may find your black and white ideological extremism comforting, but in the real world, where real people live, collisions of liberties means there are no absolutes. In general terms, your freedom of action ends at the tip of my nose, so your liberties are not absolute.
Children have the same fundamental liberties as their parents, but are not deemed to have the emotional or cognitive maturity to exercise those liberties responsibly. The child's guardians is thus given considerable legal and moral authority over the child, but that authority is not absolute, because to make it absolute would essentially render the child's liberties null and void. And thus the courts can force a child to have life-saving procedure like a blood transfusion despite the protestation's of the child's guardian.

All that matters is money. That is the only god, and you shall keep no other god.
Let's be frank, you're evil.

Genetically there are something like five or six human races; several in sub-Saharan African, and one just about everywhere else.
If the poster were to die of some horrible illness, I'd make a special trip to wherever he is buried to piss on the grave.

Yeah, but "living in a large aluminum ball in his parents' basement" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

America needs people like you!

Now, let's get about castrating Edward Snowden!
Wow! That's like crapping out a used turd.
Oh come on, Killer Joe rocked!
I'd rather have two Satans than Satan^2.
Because the only energy available anywhere is fossil fuels. Yup, there is no alternatives whatsoever.
Why is it exactly you assert the options are binary? Please elaborate.

No, it wasn't useful. Promoting bullshit pseudo-science "cures" is not useful, it's vile and immoral.
The same thing that has always gone on. Kids have sex, and the HPV vaccine means that they are protected from a pretty nasty cancer.
According to the CDC, they are 93% effective http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vp...
That's pretty fucking close to 100%.
What a delightful little oxymoron.

Surely quarantine laws must still be on the books.
