not really, in UK the rich (or well off) live in the burbs because they want a house with a garden and don't want the polluted air and they can afford to commute into the city, the mega-rich live (or have a 2nd/3rd house/apartment) in the city, the poor live in all the poorest parts of the cities/towns
"Organized religion is a package of beliefs and behaviors that have been honed over tens of thousands of years to provide people with things they need both psychologically and socially"
that depends on which religion, the Abrahamic religions believe the world is only 6000 years old. Some, if not all, religions have a lot more "honing" to do to join the 21st century
yes, and offloading the blame of problems to a non-existent being therefore removing the blame from yourself also relieves stress. its a good ruse to blame something else for all your stress inducing problems.
i've found myself less stressed since getting off the fence of thinking there might be a "higher being so i'll keep my options open". Its got to be stressful thinking you are being watched all the time.

Andrew Wakefield was not really a scientist, he was a surgeon and medical researcher. And as it turned out, a complete wanker

yes, but if the genetic testing to stop the unlucky couples reproducing was not there, the community would eventually be wiped out because of the small gene pool which is the point being made

"The latest MMR vaccine is linked to a couple hundred (237 last I looked) of narcolepsy" - out of how many people who have had the MMR? 237 is a nonsense figure of no importance in the scale of things. The only link (just a quick search) i can find of a narcolepsy link is to the Swine flu vaccine.
"Why not educate people to both sides of the argument and let them make an educated choice?" - what are both sides of the argument? don't get vaccinated and you can get a disease that can spread to others or risk a minute chance of a side affect (of which you may have got anyway because the stats are so low that they are insignificant and it was just a coincidence)
"Animal feed is still plant life." - yes and when you cut it down it releases the CO2
"Incidentally, this is why if you are for the environment you really should not be also against animal cruelty. The tighter you can pack in animals the less plant life that needs to be cut down." - weird rational that sounds like a troll - just eat less animal product and don't use as much land and lower emissions from their rear end
thats pretty much the point, climate is changing all over the world. In the UK winters and summers are different to the norm, spring seems to be arriving a lot earlier than it used to but i expect in other parts of the world, its different changes to the normal weather.
"Why does the temperature have rise a lot to cause an issue?
Because all of the supposed harm is caused by runway temperature rises."
that was badly worded by me, i was commenting on the poster only expecting a large jump in temp for it to be an issue whereas a small rise is an issue.
"Which grow back faster in a warmer climate..."
yes, but where will they grow once the land has been claimed for animals and animal feed>
?
"As noted the earth is a CO2 processing system. Even with abundant CO2 it simply encourages greater plant growth and makes up the difference"
yes but as its all being cut down for animal feed, logging, animal grazing etc where will all these plants grow? It'll possibly also encourage more deserts or growth of existing ones.

You answered the question yourself.. a handful of diehard nerds, and some systems administrators.
"One friend mentioned that one at a time the letters on his display would just fall down and into a pile at the bottom of the display."
that worked on Microsoft OS's as well, i think it was on DOS.

they didn't almost wipe out the american bison through killing for sport and food like the white american almost did with their big thunder sticks.
