That reasoning also means it is absurdly reckless to keep pumping 30 + gigatonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere every year and just hoping it all works out fine.

There are various ways to be an amateur scientist. They don't exactly fit the blokes with big foreheads and white coats paradigm on tv, but they do some stuff. Many of them plot trajectories of small objects in space (but AI has gotta be much faster than they can be). You might get a light in the sk...

My psychiatrist was scared shitless of me. In retrospect (I quit seeing him over ten years ago) he was constantly fearing for his physical safety when I was in his office. That sounds like a an interesting story all of it's own. Just out of interest, the overcooked reviews that you got for your boo...

Wade is a friend. He is a philosopher and a programmer. He has volunteered to web-host my writings. No money has ever changed hands between us. He had to pay for that kindle book before he could express his views about it, since kindle does not allow a publication to charge zero. So he bought the b...

It's possible Phil is as you describe ("a certain type of people"), but mebbe he's just not particularly moved by the 'authority of the majority', has looked at the 'solid science' and found it lacking.

You have used somebody as a shill* - you just provided another link to Wade Harvey's web hosting there. shill noun an accomplice of a confidence trickster or swindler who poses a...

He works in mysterious ways right? Maybe that's the only way he knows how to go.

I think 1/2 was so. the other 1/2 was wishing for past empire/better jobs. You and I appear to have been typing at the same time, so you probably...

Wade Harvey is not an employee of mine. He is not on my payroll. OK.... he didn't disclose his relationship to you in his Amazon review. You are sort of implying there is no relationship. But you aren't stating that fact. So what is Wade Harvey's relationship with you, and and why are neither of yo...

Flash: You seriously claiming British bigotry against Muslims was not the reason for Brexit? The entire campaign focused on banning Muslims from Britain. The fuck you on about? When do you think that campaign started? People have been campaigning against EU membership since before it was called the...

Good plug! It's also nice to see my thread being used for purposes other than just a space for me to be a sanctimonious dick just to annoy a pompous one.

Boy you have trouble processing information. No, the case would not be difficult. It's a huge fraud case with thousands of relevant documents. Those aren't easy when you do them properly. Yes, experts would be needed, but experts are not by any means a big deal in litigation. Especially when dealin...
