Country died when FDR (Communist Infiltrator) came into office (1930)

I was totally expecting a you need to eat tofu video. I'm glad I watched the hole thing.

Oh no, of course not, but its also not a long term solution. Multiple angles need to be worked on simultaneously; unfortunately something we are trying to do (not very well atm).

Geoengineering isn't some pipe dream. It's as simple as special additives to jet fuel released high in the atmosphere that blocks some of the sun's energy.

[anyliesr]

We can't just look at a problem and say that someone else someday will solve it through feats of geo-engineering. It is important to tackle what we can today (a lot of things) each continuing day. That does not live in a status quo notion of thought where we will not at some point create technology that solves for X, but we can't bank on it. It is good to be hopeful, but to equally remain aware of a fairly dire present situation.

I do not concise that the global warming is bad. If we are able to affect the climate. Then we have the ability to move forward and use technology to undo the harm done to the plant. Furthermore use this tech to allow our descendants to avoid the next ice age. Also we can allow the developing world to rise out of poverty to have decent lives comparable to our own. I'm tired of the trend of apocalypse thinking plaguing our society.

Well, yes and no. To the first point- Climate change is creating or will create enormous problems in every sector. It is linked to most problems at least structurally, in our world. I don't think she intends to induce fear; she is making a factual statement. CC in agricultural communities stops livelihoods. Regarding ED- CO2 is not necessarily the answer and that is something sustainable development attempts to solve. Members of the Maasai tribe have turned to eco-tourism for instance and make $

I'm aware of the article. But it's the intent of her comment was to link Global Warming to something scary sounding. Whatever the clairvoyance she uses to setup dominos to connect them. Her intent is to induce fear to get her policies passes. This is how much of politics work and I find it abhorrent. But she doesn't care about these women because the best way to help these women avoid this fate is, economic development and that would mean more CO2.

[NathanOzcan]

Thats not true. That is not what has been said. Panetta stated that the international system via the UN and coalition groups (NATO) could make certain conflicts internationally legal. I think you have forgotten that other states are equally sovereign as the U.S. and should be protected from attacks as well. Panetta says numerous times that at the end of the day, The President has the ability to act out with an international agreement for defensive purposes. Nothing to complain about there.

[NathanOzcan]

Thats just silly. And also not true. In the slightest. FDR did some huge solids brought hundreds of thousands of people out of poverty and saved lives.
