It's going to take a lot more than small changes across the board to fix our OC2 output, it requires complete changes.
And it's pointless complaining about economic cost when the cost of doing nothing is likely 20 times as much.
People in western countries have gotten used to living lifestyles that are completely unsustainable and worse many have gotten it into their thick heads that they are somehow entitled to these lifestyles like they are royalty or something. Just suggesting that people need to live their lives differently causes them to get angry and spout complete stupid crap and excuses. Humans forget, they are an animal and depend on the rest of the ecosystem to exist.
The simple fact is that most of the victims of drone attacks are not terrorists they are innocent men women and children so I stand by the points I made.
Long story short: 350 tonnes per second of CO2 being absorbed by the ocean is acidifying it. If we don't stop 96% of ocean life dies. Dead life rots. Rotting life in water emits nasty toxic gases. Also melting permafrost releases giant amounts of methane dwarfing climate warming gasses releases by humans, this causes run-away warming. Methane clathrates under ocean also melt and release billions more tonnes of methane. Resulting gases make air unbreathable, humans and 95% of life on earth die.
^none of this stuff is included in IPCC models YET.
Global warming is clearly happening, the permafrost is already melting, the sea is already acidifying. The human species days could well be numbered.
Crap military complex apologist responses to your good point. Of the thousands of people killed in Pakistan only 2% or roughly 60 of them where 'high profile targets' the rest where innocent men women and children.
Bombing a wedding or similar public gathering is a war crime, condoning such a crime is as bad as condoning the napalming of a village in Vietnam which no doubt some people did.
1. Doesn't matter if the gov't OKs drone attacks, it's still wrong to bomb a wedding. 2. It doesn't matter how bad the individual is, it's still wrong to bomb a wedding. 3. It doesn't matter how many weddings a country has it's still wrong to bomb a wedding. 4. It's irrelevant that the killed people get quick funerals and are buried, it's still wrong to bomb a wedding. 5. Saying the numbers are suspect does not make it ok to bomb a wedding.
Bombing a wedding with innocent men, women and children is a war crime, the spurious rubbish you came out with does not invalidate that fact.
What strikes me the most is that today's processors are barely any faster than the 2011 processors.
4 years and only a small speed increase in real performance - 4% for games!!!!! FOUR PERCENT over 4 years. Time to ditch silicon and to start using materials that support higher clock speeds.
All taxes pay for roads - cyclists pay for the roads. Most cyclists own cars. It's pointless for a cyclist to have a license, it's been tried and scrapped as a complete waste of time and money. Cars get roads, why should cyclists have a cycling infrastructure.
You are damaging the environment 50x what a cyclist is.
What you are missing is that many people would love to cycle but are put off buy the lack of cycling infrastructure or to put it another way cycling on roads with cars endangering your life constantly by not looking where they are going and passing too close is too stressful for a lot of people. But cycling without these stresses on decent cycling infrastructure is fun, keeps you fit and healthy, reduces stress, saves money and doesn't emit CO2 and a whole bunch of other pollutants.
Would major car manufacturers really pay for insurance?
Yes, reason number 1 is to stop bad precedents from happening in court which could devalue all autonomous cars - and thus affect manufacturers profits. Also manufacturers wouldn't necessarily even have to have insurance because they would have enough money to cover costs. And if were legally mandated to have insurance they would have bargaining power that would halve the insurance. End result: Car companies would give you a certificate to say you're covered.
Also it doesn't make any sense for people to take on liability insurance when they obviously aren't liable for an accident because they are not driving.
note: The insurance could be split - accident liability on one hand and damage, fire and theft on the other with the damage part paid by the consumer.
The insurance will be split, for 100% autonomous cars it makes sense for the manufacturer to handle the public liability insurance, whilst damage, fire and theft would be covered by owners insurance.
I read your posts and they vindicate my feeling about using a tool to create an ISO - why don't they just supply a generic ISO?
My suspicion is that they try to get clever and make an install tailored to your system - which is bound to fail and like you say, it does fail often. Unlike my win95, win98se, win2k, winxp and win7 discs, never had a problem with those.
Slashdot Mirror
Again missing the point that police across the world have opened fire on protesters across the world countless times.
You seem to be arguing just for the sake of arguing and don't even have a good point.
No where in your argument do you explain why it is ok to kill innocent men women and children with remote controlled drones.
It isn't. It's cowardly, the people using the drones are no better than the people they are attempting to kill.
So now it's not the people killing the innocent people who are responsible!!!!!!!!!
What a stupid argument.
Naming the Dead project records the names of over 700 killed by drones in Pakistan | The Bureau of Investigative Journalism

At what point did you supply 'authoritative numbers'?
Hypocrite.
You're completely missing the point, police and military do shoot ordinary people, they have done this countless times.

Shut up you idiot. I don;t need to have 'military experience' to know that killing innocent men women and children is wrong.
And don't give me crap about needing to have military experience to know what is going on in this world, that is bullshit.
The simple fact is that most of the victims of drone attacks are not terrorists they are innocent men women and children so I stand by the points I made.
Won't be long.

Acid Test: Rising CO2 Levels Killing Ocean Life | Conservation Climate
99.996% of climate scientists now say global warming is happening, not 97%.
Why not, police around the world do this to their own people on a regular basis.
Kent State shootings - National Guard.
Orangeburg massacre - Highway patrol officers.
Jackson State killings - City and state police.
Yeah, good luck with that.
An armies job is to dehumanise their soldiers and to teach them the enemy are all worthless scum who deserve to die.
Here's a better idea, figure out a way to hugely downsize America's military industrial complex and stop invading countries on a regular basis.
That's not what he claimed.

Refuses to yield?
Are you blind - there is one lane how the hell do you yield when there is only safe room for one vehicle.
You clearly don't know what a safe passing distance is. Drivers like you give motorists a bad name!
Idiot.

Built for cars, don't you mean built for people on foot and then horses and then tarmac for.... Bicycles:

Not to mention that sex is a natural act and thus should not be disturbing so the whole thing is based upon a false premise.
There's a big difference between having vision and living in a fantasy.
