    Has the warming paused?

    That's right, that in past eras, habitable zones have shifted with the changes in climate. The last time it is believed (but still not unanimous) that atmospheric CO2 levels were over 400ppm was during the peak of the Pliocene about 4 million years ago; and during that time, there were...

    The way things are going, we may test out your theory soon enough.

    Climate Alarmists Getting Really Shrill

    Wrong! They aren't screaming loud enough. Because dealing with a looming climate catastrophe would require more than superficial shifts of policy like carbon caps, credits or even carbon taxes, and funding the building of solar panels and windmills. Our entire economic system is framed by the...

    Helping the poor[W:748]

    Re: Helping the poor My mother was born in the U.S., I still hold U.S. citizenship also, and used to live in Michigan earlier in my adult life

    Has the warming paused?

    If you've ever been in the Far North, you'll notice that most of the land is worthless tundra...plants&fungus literally growing on rocks because soil doesn't build up under normal arctic conditions. A quick transition to a temperate climate will just melt all the permafrost and turn a lot of it...

    Should childless couples be considered inferior?

    Good question! I do see a difference between casual friends and real friends. A real friend is someone you've known for years...maybe even since childhood, and is a friend regardless of changing circumstances. I suspect that as society started becoming more transient, with people leaving home...

    Has the warming paused?

    Step 3.....keep moving north and fight the millions of others who are on the move to try to survive in the last liveable enclaves on the planet....and contemplate extinction....not only personally, but the human race as well.

    Has the warming paused?

    No, you and your friends are still DENIERS! Because you are denying the obvious.....that humans can increase carbon dioxide and other manmade GHG's, without affecting the Earth's climate. To get a little background information on this PDO cycle, I went to two sources that showed up on the...

    What is Promotion of Homosexuality?

    True in many cases unfortunately. Also unfortunate that the people who could benefit the most from learning a little about science and the scientific process, are the most likely to shut down anything they perceive as conflicting with their personal narratives. Yeah, who knows....maybe years...

    Helping the poor[W:748]

    Re: Helping the poor I have an open question for rightwingers here: if you're all so opposed to SNAP, school lunch programs and other aid for the poor, what have you said or done about large corporations like McDonalds and Walmart, who pay employees so poorly, that most of them qualify for...

    Helping the poor[W:748]

    Re: Helping the poor As I recall, it also didn't grant authority to maintain a standing army or make corporations persons. Did the framers of the U.S. Constitution believe they had written a divinely inspired document, as some modern purveyors of constructionism seem to believe?

    Helping the poor[W:748]

    Re: Helping the poor "Takers!" Yeah right. The future we are heading into, is a polluted world running short of resources, capitalism turns from exploiting nature and turning into products, towards disaster capitalism - exploiting the wealth and assets of poorer nations, and poorer segments...

    Helping the poor[W:748]

    Re: Helping the poor I judge by class, while your side judges by race, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation. I make no bones about the fact that I have nothing but contempt for the rich and the captains of industry who are presently steering this world to destruction because of their greed! If...

    Helping the poor[W:748]

    Re: Helping the poor Yes, my experience is my experience; but the demographic trends, such as those measured and studied by epidemiologists - Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett (The Spirit Level), and many other researchers have replicated parts of - all paint a picture showing the more equal a...

    Should childless couples be considered inferior?

    On that last point, when I read a comment about guys falling in love with love dolls and internet avatars, virtual relationships online, or how close our relationships with our pets are becoming (Guilty!), I'm wondering how much of this might be connected with stories I read about how the...
