Uhh, the mantle is not on the surface of a planetary body, while the surface of the moon and the asteroids are. Is this hard for you to understand?
Also, the US never built a rocket that could get to Mars for $100 million dollars. ANYONE could build one for a hundred billion dollars. The point is that the free market takes what is possible and lowers the price until individuals or collections of individuals can afford it.
Modify your numbers. If you are right, and act, you lose a hundred trillion dollars and still get hit anyways because "it wasn't enough". If you are wrong and act, you lose a hundred trillion dollars.
Wrong. Civilization is about adapting to change. Only the weak civilizations fear change. The strong ones welcome it. Of course, ours has become a weak one thanks to growth of government and loss of freedoms over the last hundred years, accelerating into the last decade.
Funny how the only acceptable theory is even more heavily defended than relativity. I didn't hear ANYONE calling the Italians "relativity deniers" when they appeared to have violated it. But then, maybe that is because physics is real science, while climate "science" is a religion (sacrifice to the gods of climate or they will destroy us from the sky with their mighty millimeter natural disasters that have always occurred but we pretend like they never did until just now). We'd be better off with the Aztecs in charge. Cutting out the hearts of "just" a few Iraqis would have a lot smaller destructive effect on the world's economy than the bloodletting you people want to unleash.
If I was allowed to open a fuel reprocessing plant, or sell it to one that was allowed to open after the regulator-imposed ban on them was lifted, no, I wouldn't mind much at all. Be hard to find, though, because no-one would be stupid enough to dump fuel that still has enormous value.
I like how you get everything from a single website. Surely the owner of that website isn't biased in any way. Surely they aren't climate scientists who's entire livelihood depends on global warming continuing to be accepted as real and dangerous.
Show me the physical chemistry argument for how CO2 forces increases in heat retention in a wet atmosphere, and I will acknowledge that this might be real. Not one person has ever done that. All I have every heard are appeals to authority and ad hominem.
The king does not command the tide. It doesn't matter how much you blither and whine about climate change, the fact is that the cure is more toxic than the "disease". You will kill off all the marginal populations of the world with increased food prices long before they are displaced by rising sea levels. If the climate warms significantly as is supposedly going to happen, then the grain basket that is the American midwest will extend up into Canada, and North America will be able to produce enough grain to fed the whole world.
Evolution has been shown to happen in the lab, and among populations of wild animals (for example, Australian snakes developing smaller heads to stop them from eating poisonous cane toads that were introduced some 60 years ago). AGW, not so much. Rather, we just have a single sample with no control, unless you count the other solar system planets, which just happen to be getting warmer too, though that doesn't mean much. This makes it very difficult to PROVE anything. Anecdote simply is not an acceptable basis for scientific evidence, and one hundred years of measurement is a single anecdote on the geological time frame. Extrapolating linear or exponential trends will pretty much always leave you red faced at some point.
Yes, yes, you state worshippers like to think that only the government can do the big things, yet here we are with a privately built heavy lift rocket capable of reaching Mars. You can blather on about how they "never could have done it" without NASA, but that is an unprovable, religious assertion.
"No-one would pay for that". What the fuck are you talking about? There are quintillions of dollars of mineral wealth up there! multiple private companies would have competed against each other until the price was low enough that they could do it with just a few big investors. You are doing nothing but talking out of your ass. You can take your nothing arguments and shove them up your ass while you watch the amazing progress coming down the pike that will rip your stupid, ugly face off.
Wrongo. When NASA was formed, they were granted a monopoly on space launches. This "the private sector couldn't do it" business is nothing but BS. There is NOTHING that private industry can't do, and I can guarantee you that if it had been private industry running Apollo, we would still be on the Moon to this day, and would likely be colonizing Mars AND the asteroids. In the six years since private spaceflight has been legalized, the private sector has done what it took the government 30 years to do, and now we have a private company about to launch a rocket line capable of sending a manned mission to Mars for less than the cost of a single shuttle mission.
For the second time, wound healing and immunity are separate. The immune system can only protect you for so long. If the wound doesn't heal, the wound will fester, eventually resulting in something like diabetic ulcers (which are also caused by the same thing, Substance P deficiency), but on the inside. All the white blood cells in the world won't help you if you don't maintain the barrier between your body and the outside world.
I don't have the reference handy, so I will just post the (well cited) wiki article on the signaling molecule I was talking about, Substance P: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substance_P
Note that there are many types of nerve endings, capsaicin specifically targets the ones associated with PAIN and HEAT. Pressure and cold are not affected. Further note that the immune system is not strongly involved in wound healing, save to the extent that it (tries to) prevent the healing area from being overrun with invasive organisms.
Capsaicin binds to and, in high enough doses, destroys neurons that are responsible for signaling molecules involved in wound healing. If you took a high enough dose that it depleted those neurons in a certain part of your body, especially your insides, it would be similar to having leprosy. Tiny cuts would get infected, and spread, and eventually you would have mass tissue death.
My lab used to study that before I started working here. Of course, we are talking super high doses, basically pure capsaicin. Peppers just aren't going to do it by themselves. As noted above, they have other health benefits, so no-one should really worry about toxicity, as the heat stops most people long before they could ever get to that point.

Boy, talk about a shifting goalpost. Next you'll be telling us it is "creating or saving" warming, then "supporting warming". lol

I see, you would rather die than change. Interesting.

Yeah, tell that to the millions of children starving to death because your dumb policies drove the price of grain up 100% in a year.

I, for one, would be most happy if Geraldo went to Russia, as long as he stayed there and wasn't allowed to have a camera.

Not really.

For as long as it takes to develop an efficient extraction method.
Which is approximately 6 months ago: http://www.matse.psu.edu/news/ionicliquids
Use of ionic liquids greatly reduces both the water and energy cost of oil shale recovery.
I think the person wanting to fundamentally alter the way the entire world economy works should do the work, honestly.

Pretty sure a cube is an exponent.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
