Truth! If the carbon cost associated with building, equipping and provisioning that journey was totalled up I am confident that it would exceed the amount generated by a single seat on a commercial flight. Further, the economic cost of the exercise would ...
Pebble bed reactors do not require the same kind of infrastructure as breeder reactors (used to produce power plus material for bombs).
If you want electric cars AND want to stop burning coal, the only practical solution is nuclear. Pebble bed reactors and thorium salt reactors do not have the same potential for disaster as water-cooled reactors. Even lefty icons are beginning to see the ...
Hilarious. Trump makes jokes specifically about leftists' paranoia and they lose their minds taking him literally (proving leftists have no sense of humour). China is indeed a modern iteration of fascism where a disarmed citizenry faces the might of the ...
So it turns out that NASA reports: "As of August 16, 2019, an analysis of NASA satellite data indicated that total fire activity across the Amazon basin this year has been close to the average in comparison to the past 15 years." https://earthobservatory....
The creator of the 'hockey stick' graph loses in court. I guess Justice is now a "climate change denier" https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/08/michael_mann_creator_of_the_infamous_global_warming_hockey_stick_loses_lawsuit_against_climate_skeptic_...
"Arctic melts" Ha! https://twitter.com/Istjenesten/status/1164887645329264642
Ad hominem name calling good form. Yes. Let's support people who do this: https://irannewswire.org/iran-sentences-7-thieves-to-hand-and-finger-amputation-and-flogging/
Soooo...ignore international terrorism sponsored by Iran?
A principled discussion on policy is a separate topic from the pejoratives flying around right now. It seems that lots of people of all ideological stripes have failed to apprehend the difference between policy decisions and public persona. Both Trump and ...
Search for "Grand Solar Minimum" and look at the weather/temperature/climate cycles associated with these solar trends going back many centuries. Do these cycles more closely match what we are seeing then climate-alarmist models? I think so.
This is a great article. Completely non-ideological. It could just as easily have appeared on Whale Oil. It is a great criticism of government overreach and caprice.
Google "solar minimum" Snow and ice on Greenland are increasing.
Blazer, being able to quote Marxian nonsense in the face of reality does nothing to advance an argument. Calling something simplistic when it is obviously true is not an argument either. The world is a tough place where struggle is necessary for survival ...
Wut?
You can type that out, Morrissey, but that does not make it true. I think Shapiro is a monopolist shill but the dude can lay out an argument (which is more than the ad hominem specialists here generally do).
Well, if one takes the long view, it appears that Capitalism has delivered longer lifespan to everyone, cool stuff like electricity and the technology that operates with it, most medical advances (I am fond of anaesthetic), etc. Capitalism gave rise to the...
Free market liberalism works pretty darn well, given the obvious evidence on the Planet Earth. However, this does not imply that the free market is magic or should be applied at every opportunity. As a conservative, I favour a general policy of light (but ...
I am a conservative and I believe that a well-regulated banking sector is utterly necessary. Especially given we lack a government-backed deposit insurance scheme. If the Aussie banks do not want to do business on a sound footing, they can go away.
That is a semantic argument. The historical progression/evolution was that of a leftist movement. Of course, if one accepts your assertion, the inescapable conclusion is that the very worst of the extreme right emerges not from conservatism (what is now ...
Just in terms of body count, the extreme left reigns supreme.
AB, the most historically apt examples of the mechanism you are referring to are the tendency for monopoly to cleave to radical leftist movements such as Communism and National Socialism. In terms of body count, the effects of right wing authoritarianism ...
An alternative perspective: Wingnut governor elected on the back of identity politics threatens legislators frustrated with persistent anti-democratic emergency legislative processes to flee the state under threat of arrest at gunpoint. I agree it is a ...
From historical accounts, so was Marie Antoinette, i.e., the original cake girl.
I am sick and tired of straw man arguments. I said that it is reasonable to separate kids from the adults they illegally cross an international border with, especially given the human trafficking, drug smuggling, rape and murder that are rampant along the ...
Jeff Bezos' WaPo is hardly a reliable source.
The separation of children from parents who break the law is pretty ordinary worldwide. Putting kids in "cages" was extant in Obama's time and leftists gave it a pass (see: https://qz.com/1291470/photos-immigrant-children-detained-at-the-placement-center-...
Trump interview with Chuck Todd saying no planes were in the air. https://youtu.be/ziUZv6VOph0
Bleep, you are making shit up as you go along. And I think the people who were not killed would be pretty happy about it, no matter the stage of deployment.
So Trump declines a military attack that would have killed scores of people over an unmanned drone and this blog cannot give him any credit for showing restraint. He clearly articulates proportionality and reason and the ostensibly anti-war left is silent ...
I certainly did make assumptions, Bleep. And I do not believe you about family in the military. A conversation with somebody "high up" would have cleared up your mistaken perceptions long ago. And it appears there was a military inquiry shortly after the ...
