  1. Every hear of nuclear winter? Or do you also believe that won't affect the climate? FWIW, I am NOT an atheist; I am agnostic. Because I don't allow mere belief to affect my judgement. If a profit can be made sucking CO2 out of the atmosphere, they will SCALE IT UP and make a big difference. Duh. Ever hear the Parable of the drowning man?
  2. What man can do, we can undo. If only you had the faith in the ingenuity of man that you have in magic.... We now have machines that can suck CO2 out of the atmosphere, and maybe someday make a profit doing that.
  3. Implementing modern energy policy has nothing to do with 20th century fascists so take ^this shit and shove it. Externalizing costs of fossil fuel energy pollution would be much more in that line. The average US cost of weather catastrophes since 1980 has been $53B/year. Over the last 5 years, it has been $158B/year. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/billions/#:~:text=References-,Overview,332 events exceeds %242.275 trillion. Not to mention the LIVES LOST. It would be STUPID to not switch to renewables ASAP where feasible.
  4. Kennedy never invaded Cuba. Didn't even provide support for the Cuban exiles who died on the beach. It is you who should stop lying.
  5. You don't know what they "thought," all you know is what they told the sheeple.
  6. They were NEVER progressives. Just power lust.
  7. Nope. robosmith means FIXER of robots. I listened to you and only heard what I've heard hundreds of times before. Ignorance spouted by true believers who desperately cling to the religion they were taught as a child.
  8. Just because YOU WANT to believe an ancient understanding of the world, does not make it true. In ancient times, there were gods invented to explain everything that frightened man and he could not understand. Educated people understand FAR MORE today. There is no NEED for the god default; it just holds back true understanding.
  9. IT is pollution and causes warming. Just look at the hell hole called Venus. The 97% of natural CO2 emitted DOES NOT increase atmospheric concentrations because it is RECYCLED by biological processes. Only fossil fuel CO2 currently contributes the the HUGE increase in atmospheric (and oceanic) CO2 since the start of the industrial age. Unlike in ancient times when MEGA-volcanos were a significant contributor. All you have to have is VISION and the will to make it happen. Prime examples: Gore and Musk. IT does not always but certainly CAN, your cynicism notwithstanding. Sure it can. We just need to educate the small minds so they can understand new VISIONS. Have you been to Egypt? Know the history of the Roman Empire? Great things have been accomplished by great governments throughout history. Esp in the USA, which has put men on the moon, and built amazing supercomputers among much other PROGRESS.
  10. It is you who is holding on to ^this childish STORY which cannot be proven. In an infinite universe, EVERYTHING can and WILL happen through completely random processes. Maybe some day you will understand, but I highly doubt it because you believe you already KNOW the answer is the story about god(s) that were invented to lessen the anxiety of the ancients who invented a god to explain the sun and everything else they didn't understand. Your "scientist" started with BELIEF, and then searched for and invented a semi-rational explanation he calls science.
  11. When EVERY building has a wind turbine and solar panels, there will be far less need for central power plants and the huge inefficiencies of power transmission. Your belief in the "wisdom" of the ancients is entirely consistent with your complete lack of VISION for a BETTER future. And you completely ignore the huge downsides of fossil fuel power energy POLLUTION, on the climate, air and water. Coal is the most DEADLY form of energy production, but all other fossil fuels are nearly as unhealthy.
  12. You will live on, ONLY in the memories you've left to OTHERS still living.
  13. Why do YOU need to post DISHONESTLY, LIAR!
  14. So says the wisdom of the ancients. Of course there is ZERO evidence of that actually happening, but whatever makes you feel good, right? That philosophical fallacy is evident in most of your posts.
  15. If you don't understand reality, god must be the answer. AKA, the "wisdom" of the ancients. Or you could redouble your efforts to understand. The god default is the lazy way out for the incompetent. A meaningless accident of atoms, is a perfectly valid interpretation and there is NO REASON to reject it. It is man's desire to invent an easy explanation which compels him to believe in magic. Here: man survives by understanding his environment due to not having superior physical prowess to prevail over stronger predators. Man is driven to understand reality by an anxiety over failure to survive which was developed by evolution. Those who were not driven to understand how to survive, died out. For those things he could not understand, god(s) was invented to relieve that anxiety. There is no other reason to believe phenomena which lack empirical evidence. Anyone may CHOOSE the meaning of THEIR LIFE. It can be whatever you want it to be. ? You may choose mysticism (the god default), but I choose deeper understanding of reality.
  16. There is NO EMPIRICAL SCIENCE that supports creationism because it is COMPLETELY based on FAITH. At best there is PSEUDO-SCIENCE and people attempting to explain their faith in scientific terms.
  17. Gore has been a VISIONARY on both the Internet and Global Warming. What have you done besides drag your heels?
  18. Progressives DO NOT control the SCOTUS and they are doing great (and unpopular) damage to this nation. Right wingers achieved control of the SCOTUS through anti-democratic means using the Electoral College to install Justices NOT favored by the majority. ? We have, and have long had, MINORITY control of government. AKA, anti-democratic.
  19. Don't EVER edit my quote to misrepresent what I wrote, LIAR.
  20. You KNOW you have LOST the argument when all you have is hyperbolic DRIVEL.
  21. :LMAO: :LMAO: :LMAO: You picked the wrong website if you're trying to CITE SCIENCE. Creation Ministries International is NOT a science authority and has NO CREDIBILITY on EVOLUTION.
  22. Fossils have been found with some intact DNA, and that demonstrates mutations which CAUSE evolution. EVERY mutated animal is a TRANSITION to a new species WHEN that mutation gives the organism a survival advantage.
  23. I read your cite, and as usual, naked links DO NOT support your claims. IF you actually believe it supports your claim, QUOTE the relevant EVIDENCE HERE. Of course Revelle's "wait and see" attitude is irrelevant TODAY. We HAVE ALREADY SEEN, and Gore was RIGHT. The temporary cooling of Revelle's time has ENDED and WARMING is even worse than before. Fortunately the WORLD agrees with GORE and is TAKING STEPS to slow down the impending disaster.
  24. The FACT is, mutation is an inherent PART of evolution. And multiple survivable mutations OVER TIME, does SOMETIMES create NEW SPECIES provided those mutations give the organism a SURVIVAL ADVANTAGE.
  25. I'll betcha this ain't Houck's first rodeo. He probably has a long history of provocations and is WELL KNOWN to the FBI. IOW, CONTEXT is MISSING. And he (finally) stepped over the line and gave them something with which he could be charged. If you don't like US laws WCM, stay the f out of this country.
