@phorse (complete melt of Antarctica and Greenland) "will realistically happen within the next 100 years"

I think you're low by an order of magnitude. The shortest estimate of total melt that I can find is 1000 years.

@TerrencePhillip66 "The energy source will always destroy more molecular bonds than the energy sink will create molecular bonds."

Well, that's not universally true. Heat can flow from a source to a system without any molecular (or nuclear) bonds being broken. The source just gets cooler. In fact...

@gulbirk "its about human rights."

The big question is when do those human rights abuses rise to a level that compels an international response. Intervention seemed pretty obvious in Libya; not nearly so obvious in Yemen, Egypt, Syria, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, etc. Foreign affairs are complicated...

@PrairleDogged Yes, it is simple. When the smartest people around the world model the climate, we get accurate results.

"While there are uncertainties with climate models, they successfully reproduce the past and have made predictions that have been subsequently confirmed by observations."

@wisecollector Anti-gravity is an illusion because the force resisting gravity is magnetic, not anti-gravity. As far as we know, anti-gravity does not exist.

@ajmo7298 " electric vehicles are not economically feasible."

The cost to move an electric vehicle one mile (~4 cents) is much less than the cost to move a gas powered vehicle the same distance (~16 cents). Figuring for an EV: a $5000 premium price and a $2500 return in resale value, payback is ...

@rtardbox The prefix "a-" gets changed to "an-" when preceding words that begin with a vowel, as in:

esthesia - sense of awareness or consciousness

anesthesia - without awareness
