What's your take on approaches that are less regulatory but promote the research, development, and adoption of green technologies (like with the recen...

More popular with his base, that's for sure. It's less certain when it comes to the rest of the country. I like to think they won't elect an imprisone...

Guess Elon is doing a great job taking care of the bot situation. Gotta wonder how his whole "pander to the right to sell more Teslas to them" plan is...

Given the amount of attention your posts have received and the number of substantive responses pointing out the errors in your arguments, I think peop...

Yeah I'm well aware of the grandfather paradox and whatnot, but this thread is about physics and implied time travel.
May 21, 2023 at 07:19
It's been around for decades and as far as I can tell most physicists still don't believe in time travel. A quick google search and look at the Wiki p...

Alot of climate denialism often boils down to dumb politics. Oh, and rich oil lobbyists who profit off nothing being done (for very obvious reasons) w...
May 21, 2023 at 06:52
Sadly things being worse than expected is becoming an incresingly common phrase among alot of climate headlines today so I've learned to factor that i...

I can't think of anyone who thought that getting temperatures below 1.5 C would be achieved, given how sluggish progress has been. Sad but not surpris...
May 18, 2023 at 06:25
The opposite could also happen too. People have learned to appreciate handcrafted products in the wake of the industrial revolution and mass manufactu...

Either this is sophistry or your statement is completely wrong. If you're trying to make some other point then just make it.
February 27, 2023 at 18:33
Doesn't really tell me what doctrine is being referred to here. If it simply means acknowledging the existence of different races then that's not what...

He mentioned moving to a neighborhood with mostly white people and how it's much better citing Don Lemon: That's the part I think is more damning. Thi...
February 27, 2023 at 16:14
Have to define what "racism" means here. I usually understand it as the belief that one race is superior or inferior to another. Obviously the Nazis w...
February 27, 2023 at 15:38
If that black person also brags about moving to a non-white neighborhood, implying some link between race and societal problems then... well personall...

With how the youth vote turned out to overwhelmingly vote for the Democrats, I hope that this will cause the Republicans to reevaluate their stances o...

Funny to think that they're gonna win the House purely due to gerrymandering given what the final margins are likely gonna be.
November 15, 2022 at 09:55
I don't disagree with that, but when it comes to figures like Trump, I think he came into power more because he was a populist (or at least pretended ...

The Brazilians were an inch away from reelecting Bolsonaro just last week. The US may be insane, but it's not the only country we need to worry about.
November 09, 2022 at 07:30
Pretty much. Voting is mostly just a way for people to vent their current frustration at the status quo and they're dissatisfied with that the majorit...
October 21, 2022 at 04:59
Do you think that there was anything that could've been done diplomatically during the immediate moments leading up to the war to prevent it or do you...
October 21, 2022 at 04:13
The GOP are gonna do it anyways the next time they get power and it may likely be the only thing they do like during the Trump years. It's sort of the...
October 21, 2022 at 03:08
They'll try again the next time they get the chance. The only reason why they couldn't this time was because of that meddling UK economy. Before then ...
October 20, 2022 at 21:01
So I guess DeSantis will be the GOP nominee then in 2024?

According to Manchin, reducing the deficit is the "best way" to fight inflation. Why else do you think the bill has $300 billion in net deficit reduct...

No they don't. They've gotten away with it for decades by making people focus on the culture war. Just call abortions "woke" and the self described li...
August 04, 2022 at 13:24
I kind of knew that already going in since Manchin was calling for it for months. Progressives have largely accepted the poison pill in favor of the l...
July 29, 2022 at 01:22
No it was way more complicated than that. Manchin killed the last bill because he had concerns about the fact that it didn't tax the rich enough and t...
July 29, 2022 at 01:00
Actually it's more of a reversal of a reversal (since Manchin blocked his very own bill two weeks ago), but whatever, I'll take it.
July 28, 2022 at 02:58
Finally, some good fucking news. I can't wait to never hear the name Manchin ever again.
July 27, 2022 at 23:59
Given how polarized US politics was becoming at the time, I'm starting to wonder if Gore being the face of climate change activism in the country made...

Technically they weren't even talking about BBB. He killed that bill because he had problems with it's temporary programs (which were there because he...

According to the senator from West Virginia, whether or not civilization as we know it is saved solely depends on next month's CPI report.
July 23, 2022 at 10:15
They're also not gonna furiously defend coal either like your last post implied. Like you said, they care about employment, and they're perfectly fine...
July 22, 2022 at 08:51
Not so sure about that. At the very least with regards to the legislation Manchin just killed, it seemed like union workers were pretty excited about ...

We are living through the greatest tragic comedy of our time. https://twitter.com/MrMatthewTodd/status/1548353724086530049
July 21, 2022 at 02:45
Like I've been saying, the "let's do nothing" crowd continues to say that we should do nothing at all.
July 20, 2022 at 23:03
I mean good luck with that, but there are a lot of people out there who are dead set on making sure that we don't do anything at all. At first the lin...
July 20, 2022 at 19:56
While I don't necessarily think science will solve everything, it's a better option than expecting everyone to suddenly come to a realization that the...

Indeed, the oligarchs know that when the people unite against them they can't win, which is why they try to break people apart whenever they can by so...
July 20, 2022 at 05:27
Sure you can say we're not the primary cause of alot of our problems, but we aren't entirely blameless. Alot of the corrupt politicians are there beca...
July 19, 2022 at 23:34
Oh I have no doubt that humans will survive this in some form. They will start taking climate change seriously when it becomes an immediate concern (o...

Wow, I was just about to make a joke about how the right was gonna blame wind energy again for failing in the heat instead of the cold. Now I just fee...
July 18, 2022 at 00:42
Well Russia isn't exactly keen on stopping climate change (in large part due to it's reliance on it's gas), Brazil is currently run by a man who seems...
July 18, 2022 at 00:39
The US just overwhelmingly endorsed $40 billion in spending for Ukraine (I suppose inflation didn't matter there) and the budget for that war in the e...
July 16, 2022 at 13:47
It sucks but it really wasn't that much money last I checked. $300 billion over 10 years is like 15% the cost of Afghanistan. The US spends twice that...
July 16, 2022 at 02:48
Sure but there is only so much that can be done the local level. In spite of being the world's biggest emitter the Chinese have invested more in renew...
July 15, 2022 at 19:23
And China along with Europe will most definitely overtake the US in the green tech revolution since the US is incapable of getting it's act together o...
