The problem is that if anyone starts messing with the Moon, drilling/fracking, storing nuclear waste, etc. this could damage the moon in such away that it could severely damage the earth. Remember, the moon is not like the earth and does not have the ability to repair itself.
I have no idea what you might be talking about or if you are joking. The Moon is really nothing more than one big mining pit, if you look at the actual minerals and their geographical dispersion. It's not even pretty. |

The legacy of Rachel Carson is that tens of millions of human lives – mostly children in poor, tropical countries – have been traded for the possibility of slightly improved fertility in raptors. This remains one of the monumental human tragedies of the last century. It is shocking that Dunn, an assistant professor of biology, remains ignorant of Carson’s shortcomings, and deplorable that university students are exposed to a scientist who manifests such ignorance and failure to respect the norms of science. Likewise, Nature’s decision to publish Dunn’s commentary reflects either an antiscientific bias or a failure of peer-review.

The only mistake would be to believe those people care more about humans than mosquitoes
I would beg to differ with your article's negative take on Rachael Carson. The problem is not that she was utterly, flagrantly wronger than wrong. It is that norms of behavior in society, including the political parties and the legal/administrative institutions, could not and would not act at any pace - whether swiftly or leisurely - to correct the errors in science and judgement regardless of the negative consequences of leaving the status quo. As we experience a quickening of the rate of scientific progress, it is important to recognize these failings. |

Regarding the Moon, though, it is ripe for nations to exploit with fully robotic machines in large numbers. The development and deployment of such equipment would enormously accelerate AI and robotics. However at present we have no clue how to operate through the heat of a lunar day or the cold of a lunar night. From this aspect Mars is much, much friendlier. |

I'm not surprised a girl who likes to tell her boyfriend what to vote campaigns for the feminist initiative. Then again, I'm not suprised she's with a guy like you and that you're with a feminists. What a terrible wuss you are.  I dunno. He could be actually a very shrewd and tough negotiator. Why couldn't the subject be the buying of votes? LOL... |

I'm all for it. They're not stifling free speech, they're stifling ignorance and stupidity, one of the greatest threats to the survival and well-being of the human race.
So you are all for silencing speech that you consider ignorant and stupid? Not only are you ignorant and stupid, but you are also a fascist and that has nothing to do with climate science. But we feast on nothing less than the opinions of the many. Well, unless it be the consensus of the few. |

POLICE INTERVIEWED ALLEGED GUNMAN WEEKS AGO, 'FOUND HIM TO BE... WONDERFUL HUMAN'According to The Post and Courier, Rodger family attorney "[Alan] Shifman said the family called police several weeks ago after becoming alarmed by YouTube videos 'regarding suicide and killing people.'" He said that police interviewed Elliot after that call and "found him to be 'a perfectly polite, kind and wonderful human.'" Shifman said police found no "history of guns," but did discover that Elliot "didn't have a lot of friends." They said he "had trouble making friends and didn't have any girlfriends." Elliot is believed to have made a video saying the attack was part of seeking "retribution" for being rejected by women. http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-California/2014/05/24/Police-Interviewed-Alleged-Gunman-Weeks-Ago-Found-Him-To-Be-A-Wonderful-Human Obviously the socialist overlords should provide women to any who require them.... |

Hmm. Interesting. Need to do some calculations when I get the time...
Know anything about hydrodynamics? 200m/s flow in 3mm pipe seems bit questinable to me... 200 m/s is half the speed of sound. That flow rate would not be achieved with a gas moving through a 3mm tube, let alone a liquid. Best as I recall 3mm was well within the laminar flow boundary for something like water and slick pipe, so although he can get a pressure head when the pipe is completely filled, he can't get velocity. But velocity would be of interest only at the output orifice on earth. So laminar flow (friction) would simply act as a stopgate on total throughput, whether primary drive (water) or electricity (output). It's easy enough to test this, just get a section of 1/8 ID (3mm) tubing suspend a bucket in the air, set a siphon effect going and look at the flow rate. The other method would be to generate superheated steam on the airship, send it down the pipe and run a turbine directly. But there would be no pressure head on the gas to speak of. |

It's an interesting issue. Killing the fraudster in a case like this is a way of the government "saving face". |

That's certainly an interesting point of view. Who gets to decide what constitutes free speech, ignorance and stupidity, and the nuanced variations and differences between them? I'm pretty sure I know what the answer should be. It would of course, be that people who think like me get to decide these things. That would make the world more to my liking.... |

Global warming deniers are antisemitics.. Thats all. We dont agree with this system, hence we are hateful people. Been there done that. F*** em all.
Okay, yeah. I'm watching Silicon Valley and really, like this thread isn't weird enough. It needs to at least match up and rate. Can we start famous quotes of wisdom from Paul Erlich or something? "Giving society cheap, abundant energy would be the equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun." |

Armstrong thinks we can reform politics. I am saying politics always ends up in Totalitarianism. The only thing that has saved mankind every time is a frontier. Before it was geographical escape (e.g. birth of the U.S.A.) and cash (e.g. gold), but now those frontiers are being closed. So we only have crypto-currency (and internet businesses perhaps even anonymously, e.g. programming work, to escape Totalitarianism) remaining as a frontier.
Bump. Although the frontiers appear to be appearing more and more rapidly, exponential rates of change of course. |

The economy nowadays is more global than ever.
....
The world will have to rely on barter for a short while and will quickly turn to what it knew worked in the past, which is gold and silver.
Store food and water.. they will be worth their weight in silver. I have a deal for you. I will sell food and water now for 1/10 their weight in silver. You can make ten times your investment when the collapse comes! |

Hahaha. Honor some retard for dying in a banker land grab? Right.
Pity is the only sentiment those fools deserve.
I have to partially agree with your logic. The Libya invasion was unethical and uncalled for. The huge natural gas and petroleum deposits there acted as a trigger for the invasion. And now the United States is struggling to contain the Pandora's box, which it has opened. It conflagrates two issues. First, the political reasons and methods used in Libya. Second, the selfless acts of two men fighting off a large number of enemy so that 20+ of their comrades could escape. This is not even considering the ridiculous coverup to come, concerning youtube videos. |

And the Heroes of Bengazi, who fought and died there, defending Americans from a terror attack, have not to this day been properly honored. Hahaha. Honor some retard for dying in a banker land grab? Right. Pity is the only sentiment those fools deserve. Um, no, I see it as dying fighting to allow 20+ others to escape from certain death. It would be fine with me, though, if you, during that fight, stuck around to argue your finer and nuanced points on the Internet until the men protecting you ran out of ammo and the position was overrun. |

Obviously banning is not the right to do and it hinders the freedom of speech, but you have to consider that most of the climate deniers are way too vocal (as most of them are politically or money driven) and it makes it hard to have a civil conversation with them, heck some did and were found guilty to provide fake and trafficed data as fact for the sake of winning an argument. So really I understand why banning is a bad thing, but at the same time I can understand that it might have been the only solutions for mods to keep some sections clean, only that, but it's not that bad either because climate deniers could make their own reddit and no one will stop them to say whatever they want there so it's not as bad as it seems
"Most climate deniers are way too vocal"
"Most of them are politically or money driven" Are we supposed to believe the warmists are not too vocal, not politically or money driven? I'm still trying to figgur out what a Climate Denier is. I know a couple years ago warmies were saying it was someone who said "It's not warming!". Are they still saying that? |

18 years of no warming and he decides it's not cooling but warming? This guy must not have seen last winter. Last winter was the eight warmest winter in modern times. Yes, the USA was in a deep chill but not the rest of the planet. SO ... <being snarky here>> that proves BOTH GLOBAL WARMING AND CLIMATE CHANGE at once! http://www.nationalreview.com/article/378653/hard-sell-climate-change-john-fund
More and more people in the middle of America — both geographically and culturally — have come to believe either that global warming is manageable or that extraordinary efforts to slow the economy to combat it aren’t worth the cost. But that “doesn’t faze the bicoastal urban media elite,” says Myron Ebell of the Competitive Enterprise Institute. These elites, he adds, “have become more hysterical in their treatment of the issue, blaming everything from drought to wildfires to hurricanes on climate change.” It doesn’t matter that there is clear evidence such phenomena are cyclical, and that — for instance — while California is experiencing a severe drought, Florida residents have recently experienced some of the quietest hurricane seasons in decades. |

Top Climate Alarmist Paul Ehrlich Predicts People Will Be Forced To “Eat The Bodies of Your Dead” Because of Global Warming Apocalypse… Ehrlich, a Stanford University biologist famous for his widely debunked book “The Population Bomb,” doubled down on his climate change and overpopulation fear-mongering with HuffPost Live on May 21. Ehrlich warned host Josh Zepps that the dangers of overpopulation are growing, blaming Republicans and the media for failing to take action. While hawking a new book called “Hope On Earth,” Ehrlich’s co-author Michael Tobias praised Ehrlich’s older, outrageously wrong predictions and said they underestimated the problem. Ehrlich, after falsely predicting human “oblivion” 46 years ago, told Zepps humans must soon begin contemplating “eat[ing] the bodies of your dead” after resources are depleted. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/sean-long/2014/05/22/alarmist-paul-ehrlich-predicts-need-eat-bodies-your-deadWasn't Ehrlich a big Global Cooling guy back in the 1970s and 1980s? The Direct Beer Injection method looks promising. |

It's becoming faddish again to mentally bra-burn. ....
"I take a lot of pride in calling myself a feminist and always have," she wrote the newspaper in an email. "We're going to have to insist on correcting bigotry as it happens, in real time. And fear of women's equality, or the diminishment of it, is a kind of bigotry. I think it's important to remove the stigma associated with women's equality, and as such, yes, normalizing the word 'feminist' and making sure people know what it means is incredibly important, whether we're talking to celebrities or anyone."
It could be interesting if they went back to bra burning..... But when they start talking, so dull... |
