  1. I try to be nice and you start with an insult, then post something that's absolutely incorrect... As pointed out by User. Let the records show that at least I tried to be civil. That said, if we could trust them to be reasonable, I'm sure something could be worked out. But every negotiation now is going to have a threat behind it.
  2. I'm not really interested in arguing with you. But I don't think this will be an argument, because I don't know very much about the topic and I will probably believe whatever you tell me. But do tell me: what about the great lakes? What about common waterways in general? I think we have a governing body that we all buy into. But the US is turning anti-conservation. What I read about the aquifer situation in the southwest is is simultaneously hair raising and mind-boggling.
  3. Clean information. Feels good 👍
  4. Common water systems aren't "our" water... And what exactly a pipeline to Arizona would look like... uh... 😮 The US's best option might be to put up an immigration wall and depopulate.
  5. Maybe they will claim that nobody published a paper with adequate scariness, or didn't prove a crisis or somesuch... Doesn't matter, we'll be long gone and trolling each other in heaven...
  6. The amount you know is expressed as: Aak / Attbk Aak = the amount actually known Attbk = the amount of knowledge estimated to exist As you age, if you're wise, Attbk will increase at a higher rate than Aak so it will seem like you know less.
  7. When you have understood your smallness in the clockwork of the universe, you end up filled with a kind of low level weepy bliss. You know everthing. You can die now, happy.
  8. And yet... And yet... You are bound to him. Who owns who ? Hegel asked that.
  9. Here is Graham attempting a rationale: Seems to be... Scaremongering about 11 nuclear bombs, which last year's strike was supposed to rule out. And then there's this bit about " we're going to make a ton of money". Not sure who " we " is supposed to be. But if I had to imagine who would be okay with getting rich over the bodies of so many dead people in the middle East.... I guess a US senator would come to mind.
  10. These are reasonable conclusions but for air-tight "proof" you would need more. I would say we have a practical certainty that CO2 is causing it. But not semantic "proof" as with proving Pythagoras etc.
  11. Worried is closer to "concerned" than it is to afraid, I would say. If we tell them "hey, climate changes"... maybe they'll worry less? Or maybe they will think to ask WHY it changes.
  12. Yes, I don't get this either. It's framed as scientists "scaring" people about climate change... ostensibly by publishing papers that correlate temperatures with Co2 counts. Hmmm... Meanwhile they'll push out a video of someone passing out after taking a vaccine... not scary at all I suppose...
  13. That vehicle was overloaded with proven, ie. old, talent so it was the rare no-brainer for them. They STARTED to approve some kind-of OK TV content under Harper, ie. Heartland and Being Erica. But once he was gone it was back to the same old. They should produce a CBC 2 TV with a smaller budget and have it slowly take over IMO
  14. A very American observation, that it's very American to elect someone who will break America. I don't know for sure that it's American, but it must be because I don't get it. 😐
  15. There was a poster on here, Argus, once posted a background on how Trump bought an airline with the intent of making a shuttle to his casino in Atlantic city. That was one of his bankruptcies. But the thing was, according to the poster he embarked on the whole venture based on a gut feel... No numbers analysis was done to see if it was work. It didn't. Trump seems to know that gas prices have a big impact on electability, so the fact that he's impacted gas prices for months based on this adventure should tell you that he is not a strategic thinker. Whoever made the Trump money in the first place probably was, but the progeny was not interested in math or listening to people who talked about math. That's pretty clear..
  16. What kind of scientific proof would produce proof of 'crisis' which is a relative and subjective term? They can't even prove 100% that CO2 causes the warming we're seeing.
  17. People who argue against such things, are actually arguing culture. In a certain sense, they are the most right about that side of it. The actual scientists did a bad job of getting people onside, but they couldn't have expected to combat the Great Wall of Retardation either, really.
  18. They probably turned down all of those. Anytime I've spoken to someone who was inside or dealt with the inside... It's a nightmare of bureaucratic nobodies thinking that they are amazing. I actually was thinking of working there in IT, and after talking to someone it was pretty clear that they had no idea how to do anything.
  19. Agreed. Saying it's not great a different thing than saying it should be gone. A few years back... Like 15 years ago they funded something called cbc3 and it was amazing.
  20. You wouldn't listen to an immigrant CBC person for any other reason than they denouncing the CBC. Niw if you'll excuse me... 🙂
  21. #1 story on The World Tonight at 6PM. The windows weren't "shot out".
  22. Then why did I accept it eventually? Maybe because somebody finally posted a link? Rather than people telling me to go find it myself? I'm sure you could find the example. If you went through Google. I'm not going to do it. Why? Because I've done it before. I've linked to the pages where we had the discussion and where I retracted. It doesn't make any difference.
  23. I'm seeing some differences, and I'm disinterested so I am sure interested voters see them. Subtle messaging around 'working together' is what I sense here.
  24. 1. 2. 3. The Liberals did change, on the surface at least, but anti-Liberal sentiment is also high among the 'never Liberal' types. Carney will need split-second timing to find a sweet spot between the timepoint of: the "too soon" election backlash, some point where stability is perceived and reflected in polls, when the economy starts crashing. 4. That's the safe bet though.
