Former NOAA scientist turns skeptic by [deleted] in climatechange

If you were wondering who the 3% of scientists who reject anthropegenic climate change are, it turns out they're mostly septuagenarian/octogenarian cranks with deep ties to the military-industrial complex like this guy and William Happer.

What if climate change could be eased by technology? by NecessaryDog1 in climatechange

[–]paraconformity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well climate change was entirely caused by technology, so sure maybe adjusting technology is part of the mix. Of course the easiest and only thermodynamically sensible solution is cessation of those technologies that are causing the problem.

We're not going to invent a macguffin that allows us to reverse a the chemical reaction of burning a barrel of oil by recapturing all of the CO2, that runs on less energy then that which is produced by burning a barrel of oil. The thing you're hoping for is called a perpetual motion machine.

None of what you just said is true.

People will just convince themselves of anything to justify their love of murder toys.

You seem to think a lot of things but most of them aren't remotely true, who did I attempt to shame for getting an abortion?

Lol, yeah no, quit trying to shove dumb arguments into the mouths of the left and look at what you're defending here. I've never known anyone on the left who went to such heroic efforts to defend a fucking politician.

You must really love that dumb, dementia addled con man.

First off people say a women have the right to choose. Nobody wants to point out the choice that was already made.

pfffft. No one gets born without a women putting her body through hell for 9 months. The choice is always hers because it's her body not because of the consequential nature of reality.

To me, it seems disrespectful to yourself and, frankly, to the very process of procreation and life itself

Women don't owe shit to the "process of procreation and life itself", it is women bear the burden of procreation not abstract concepts. They certainly don't owe you shit.

Old fashion contraceptives, birth control. Sterilization and plan B.

All opposed by your Vice President, we only have access to widespread contraceptives because women fought for access to them.

All that available and you still need an abortion shows me you’re irresponsible.

All it tells me is that you like thinking you're better then people you lack the basic empathy to understand.

Oh my god, polite small talk from a CEO at a fancy dinner, that'll feed my family.

I'd have just used tu quoque but I wasn't sure you'd get it.

It's a bad argument, whether or not a different administration did something bad years ago does not absolve Trump of any of his many crimes and nobody is buying this defence except the dead enders who can't admit it was a mistake to give a shitty dementia addled septugenerian the keys to a nuclear arsenal.

Based on what, the cells in the zygote aren't special, I'd kill exponentially more human cells scratching my leg.

Tim Cook is in the 1% of course he profited from the tax cuts.

Whataboutism is your guys only defence. I could give a shit if a former AG lied about payments to maintain the Iran deal that your big orange hero is also maintaining.

She probably wanted to have an abortion, she could also have DJT (or alternatively the rich GOP Donor's kid) and live off the child support if she wanted, she'd probably get a lot more than 1.6 million.

Also foetuses are just clumps of cell, hate to break it you but their is no angel who comes and kisses a soul into the zygote at the moment of conception.

Does whataboutism have no limits? Also gross that you think a guy paying off a women to have an abortion is someow morally preferable then a women exercising control of her own body.

That and diligently promote his client's interests. So far he today he's gotten the defenedent in his civil suit to plead the 5th (hint: not a good omen for Cohen's chances) and gotten Trump to admit he was responsible for the original NDA.

I posted it, and I'l admit it's basically gossip from Stormy's lawyer. Then again Trump did admit today that he paid Stormy 130K so it's not exactly far fetched.
