BruceVC Posted November 24, 2018 Posted November 24, 2018 2090? Why should I care? I'll be dead by then anyways. LMAO Actually there are real alternatives to death that may be working in the next 20-30 years ? Would you be prepared to be a participant in a scientific experiment in a time period where you are in your 60's, the entire process would be explained so there is nothing surreptitious or insidious about the outcome which is basically a method to extract your consciousness only into a PC or some kind of electronic system But your body dies but your sense of awareness lives on for an eternity and there would be a way to communicate as you have all your basic cognitive abilities and you can think and you are aware Better than death Volo......I hope you can see this and would volunteer for this process to escape death ? And yes there would be a chance you may not survive the initial extraction of your consciousness but this could be seen as any risk around a complicated medical procedure....so this could be seen as normal ?

Mirandel Posted November 24, 2018 Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) 2090? Why should I care? I'll be dead by then anyways. LMAO Because the consequences will become very serious as early as 2030. Actually, 2030 is also a "point of no return" - when changes will become irreversible. By this time, though, drought, hurricanes, floods, diminishing of areas of fertile soils for agriculture and so on will be severe enough already to bother even the "first-est" of the first world countries. Here is another CNN digest that contains links to the scientific reports: https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/07/world/climate-change-new-ipcc-report-wxc/index.html Edited November 24, 2018 by Mirandel 1

I didn't know she was so beautiful and well spoken lol The young 29 year old mexicana takes on congress! I do concur that she is hot, articulate and very educated....I want a girlfriend like her Her name would occasionally be mentioned in most international channels I always follow because of her age. She also was automatically and ostensibly aligned to the predicted " Blue Wave of Democratic women " who would sweep the Democrats to victory in the House and hopefully the Senate ? I watched one interview with her on CNN and then mostly due to that misplaced attempt by the Democrats to stop Brett Kavanaugh. Large numbers of women in the USA voted to support the Democratic party and there success was really galvanized and increased by anti-Trump sentiment that was targeted towards Trump and Kavanaugh. There is a real fear and concern that now that Kavanaugh was elected to the SC there would be an attack on laws and general progressive values like the right to choose I dont believe Trump will do this but its got the Democrats anxious and active "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

SonicMage117 Posted November 24, 2018 Posted November 24, 2018 To be fair, this is the first video I've seen of her. Then again, I've had people on a different forum tell me that my wife couldn't be so intelligent if she chose me Palin and Cortez seem to get in some heated battles, haven't seen enough to see who's more intelligent of the two bit Palin looks damn good in a red, white and blue bikini hehe Just what do you think you're doing?!

Zoraptor Posted November 26, 2018 Posted November 26, 2018 There's some possibility of escalation beyond what has already happened, but I'd expect a declaration of Martial Law in Ukraine, lots of rhetoric and not much else. Poroshenko was going to lose the elections in Ukraine and per normal procedure, get jailed by his successor as President. If he can get martial law declared he can both suspend the elections and get a bump in the polls for when they are eventually held (or not). Status quo suits Russia fine so they don't want anything other than maintaining control of the situation, Ukraine would like to control the situation more but knows they'd lose in any escalation (as they did here)- and that's been the situation since 2015. 1

Guard Dog Posted November 26, 2018 Posted November 26, 2018 Thanks God! One person we never heard of told Breibart we're gonna be fine so we can all stop worrying! Actually no sense in worrying about it anyway. The US is only one of 206 nations on this planet doing nothing about "man made" climate change. If it even is man made (THAT much is debatable, at least the extent of it) so even if the US were to de-industrialize, scrap all of our cars, and go back to feudalism we would still be f----d because no one else is going to.

pmp10 Posted November 26, 2018 Posted November 26, 2018 Besides, did you guys really want to live forever?This isn't about us. We will be gone by the time climate change turns serious. The question is how much investment do we have in the far-off future. The Heartland Institute? The guys who defend whatever they are paid to defend?If you attack the speaker and not the speech it's all I have to know. If there was anything in that speech might actually discuss it. But I'm sure they will have a counter-report ready relatively soon.

They have released some very brilliant studies in past like that tobacco does not cause lung cancer and say things like "smoking in moderation has few, if any, adverse health effects." 1
Zoraptor Posted November 26, 2018 Posted November 26, 2018 Yes, but if you haven't already got cancer then you can't prove you will get it from smoking, people smoke and live to a 100 so there's compelling evidence smoking prolongs life. And if you did get it, it might not have been from smoking anyway. People get cancer all the time whether they smoke or not. So, you can't prove global warming until it's already happened*, and if it does happen it might be due to... volcanoes! instead of us. The planet warms up all the time, it's natural and you cannot prove it's happening or that we cause it so it isn't happening and we didn't cause it. Quod Erat Demonstrandum, Science lady dogs! etc etc. *well, you can of course since CO2, Dihydrogen Monoxide, methane etc emitting in the IR range is 100% scientific provable so increases in their concentration will increase insulation, but we're not really dealing with logic anywayh. In other news world Russia is preparing to obliterate Ukraine. Russia has been going to obliterate Ukraine every second month for the past 4+ years, if you listen to Ukraine. 1
