  1. Huh, I just checked, and no term limit for the German prime ministers!
  2. Right, but now with the US pulling out the reduction is reduced and we need to add the .3 back in.
  3. Which states have joined the climate alliance that commits to Paris agreement? Win/Win! The Earth is SAVED and we are keeping the King of England out of our face.
  4. Ah, so now the increase will be .9 to 1.4C. That was exhausting.
  5. No. Thats why I asked: "Has that number doubled or tripled since last weeks conversation?"
  6. Top U.S. diplomat in China quits to protest Paris accord exit. That will teach them!
  7. 0.3 degrees in the next 87 years! We think! Oh noes!
  8. Has that number doubled or tripled since last weeks conversation? That would not surprise me in the least, next week it will be a double digit reduction!
  9. I cant puzzle out "ac". Auto-Cannon?
  10. U.S. State Department approves $750 million Saudi training program sale: Pentagon. WooHoo! Since the border wall is going to run us 1B / 62 miles then this sweet Saudi cherry will cover 46.5 miles!
  11. Conceptually: Sure, we should all be looking for and enforcing ways to reduce harmful emissions. Its just common sense. Realistically: I'm a bit meh. I don't like the Chicken Little approach to anything and I think our lack of knowledge on the matter is significant. But hey, stuff is melting so we should do something sooner rather than later to mitigate the effects.
  12. Places in the US that took in more immigrants in the 19th century still benefit economically from it. I cant speak for "Quartz Media", so take it as you will.
  13. Wow thats a lot on your plate! Condolences on your family loss.
  14. Huh, I just checked and youre right. Both are only considered High (Developing) category. I'm pretty shocked and thought at least China would have been considered a "developed country".
  15. Rereading my statement I realize just how wrong I was. The end of the century is in 83 years, not 87. I wear ribbons of shame. Is China not considered a "developed" country? What about India? Cause those two countries alone represent ~1/3 of the global population.
  16. Halle Berry is a smokeshow but even watching that Honest Trailer was painful.
  17. I suppose part of my objection is the pulling of numbers out of asses. Planet climate is a terrifically complicated matter that we do not come close to fully understanding yet. Then that lack of knowledge is used to create echo chambers and panicky declarations (even when the statement itself says "worst case scenario"). What? There is absolutely no way to prove that statement.
  18. Not to mention that we didn't even ratify it until 3 Sep 16, so US emissions must have already been falling prior to that.
  19. Ill play an aRPG over and over and over but Ive never played an RPG more than once. Usually Ill cycle through all the conversation option while playing for the first time, and that combined with usually having 5-6 different classes in my party, gives me the feeling of nothing more to gain by replaying it. (IE: Seen all the conversation and played most of the classes).
  20. Jesus, take the wheel! Kinda sorta. I do believe climate change is happening and that it is being influenced by human activities. However, I am not ready to dive onto the "world is ending" grenade. This society cannot allow a civil exchanging of ideas or theories. Everything is black or white and everyone must fall in one of the two camps.
  21. World pledges to save "mother Earth". See, everything's cool. 0.3 degrees in the next 87 years! We think! Oh noes!
  22. LIGO’s Latest Black-Hole Merger Confirms Einstein, Challenges Astrophysics.
  23. Hehe, that was just the first thing that popped into my mind reading your description. I even had to look up how to spell "Fulvano" to work it into my joke. An "isle of lost souls" is a cool idea.
  24. Australia, duh.
