    "There are indications that it is possible to find parts of both rhinoviruses (which cause cold) and flu viruses that are sufficiently stable to allow us to develop vaccines against all of them"

    Ahh but if that were the case I wouldn't still be getting colds because I'd have developed a natural immunity against them, I haven't, we don't, vaccines won't work.

    "the lack of evidence for global warming"

    So why is the north pole ice melting, why are the glaciers clearly receding.

    Do you also deny that it gets hot in green houses,
    Do you deny that mankind releases billions of tons of CO2?
    Do you deny that CO2 is a greenhouse gas?

    Tell me, which is it?

    "You seriously overestimate how much those "1%" can do."

    If you really mean the top 1% then I think you've seriously underestimated what how much the 1% own - you just referred to 1 person.

  4. "or we don't agree on what SJW refers to."

    I don't think it's a well defined term, whenever I hear people rant about 'SJW's I quite honestly am not sure exactly what they are ranting about because of the massive ambiguity.

    It's like a meta-rant, and I'm pretty much not interested because rants about SJW are so devoid of actual facts, they're more a kind of hate speech.

    Populism, what they do and what they say are 2 different things, nudge wink and a handful of republicans let the treaty through whilst they look like they mostly opposed it. That's politics, opposition parties always criticise what the gov't do if they think it'll get them more votes at the next election.

    "Have a little faith in the system, it's worked for over two centuries."

    Sure, if you set the the bar really low for the definition of "worked". It didn't stop the great depression or prevent the largest prison population in the world or prevent 10's of millions of people from being in poverty whilst at the same time having millions of millionaires.

    It'd be a case of cost and you'll have to put more energy in than you get out. This would be an ideal method of cleaning up the aerospace industry, but lobbying and politics would get in the way.

    The good thing about CO2-> ethanol is you can use cheap renewables to create the ethanol and the fluctuations of the wind and sun matter much less.

    I think part of the problem is large swathes of the media have stopped becoming critical of the establishment in any way that doesn't obviously benefit themselves.

    "people voted for Trump to communicate that they feel outclassed and forgotten"

    All they had to do is join the democrats and vote for Bernie Sanders.

    I'm an environmentalist and to me this is a massive disaster worst than any natural disaster, the negative consequences of this could be astronomical.

    I didn't lose in the sense that I don't live in the USA. Fuck trump supporters they're thick as shit and couldn't win a debate with a monkey, they ignore reality - how can you debate with someone who completely ignores reality and believes irrational illogical crap.

    Out of the pan and into the fire, sure Hilary is bad, but trump is worse, Bernie sanders was the non-corrupt sane choice.

    I don't think Trump supporters are capable of logical debate, they just spew nonsense rife with contradictions and fallacies. Kind of like religious people. Trump represents the total inability to think for oneself, how does this half of society even function?

    What has this got to do with marxism? It's a sad state of affairs that your absurd ignorant post got modded up.

    Trump is a racist, there is plenty of proof of that online, not least that he barred blacks from living in his properties (again, look it up, he was sued in court for doing this), you can't get much more racist than that.

    Trump is outright sexist, that is very obvious.

    Trump is a bigot - look the word up, he fits the description easily.

    Todays US govt is not Marxist, it is Corporatist, the corporations own it, they pay for it, Clinton was their candidate, not the peoples. People voted for Trump because they didn't like the wall street candidate, trouble is people don't understand that Trump IS the corporation and he will fuck everything, especially the water we drink, the air we breath and the land we live on. Trump has appointed someone who will decimate all pollution controls, he has promised to pollute more and remove restrictions.
