Absolutely correct. I knew it was only a matter of time that we would agree on something. Good morning. But the effects of global warming is increased variability and extremes in weather. Anytime there is mention of records, of 100 year rainfall, 200 year heat, 500 year flooding. Of records in weather extremes. Its global warming and the mention of records being broke get mentioned more and more. Please point out these record weather events. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

I'm going to assume that you are a younger person. We "more experienced" types have seen the media morph from reporting the news to using the news as a tool to get ratings. I'll give you one example...Weather Channel. Back in the day The Weather Channel was just a channel where you could see the forecast. It served it's purpose well. It was all I ever wanted or needed it to be. But that doesn't sell commercials. Take a look at the screen capture. "Disaster '17" (For some reason I can't upload the screen capture but you get the idea) That's a real eye-catcher and to the uninitiated a scary prognosis. No longer sufficient to just report the forecast TWC has become the Weather Sensationalize Channel. And this example can be seen everywhere. Why? Because there's no money in unbiased reporting of the facts. I understand that you don't feel threatened by the prospect of a Nuclear War. People in my generation and older grew up with the constant reminder of the possibility. Now, it's hardly even talked about. I don't understand why. It's still the threat it was before, and in some cases I say the threat is even higher now. There's some much noise and so much competition for your attention that you have difficulty analyzing a perceived threat versus a real one. If you are truly worried about a global apocalypse think about how warm it would get if the more than 4,000 operational nukes were detonated. Followed by some serious global cooling.

Affordability isn't the issue really. The problem won't be companies not being able to exist. The problem is that you will have a very large part of your society without any purpose or function. What happens when people have limited income and no purpose...... Exactly. And with their limited income what are they able to purchase? There will come a time when the bot employed companies lose their market. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Capitalism would not be a balancing force for this at all. Capitalism has no avenue to look at society as a whole, it determines the market would do this. However, it doesn't foresee Human Capital being taken out of the market. Other then how it deal with anything being taken out of the market, it simple seizes to exist in a capitalist structure. I disagree. Capitalism is littered with junk companies that tried to produce products the mainstream couldn't afford. We're just ahead of the curve. Eventually we'll all be reduced to third world economies. I say we find Miles Dyson and terminate him before it's too late. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DQsG3TKQ0I Please don't dent the planet.

Hang on a second. Didn't Hillary refer to Republicans as...umm...it was something. Oh yeah.. "You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?" Clinton said. "The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people -- now how 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks -- they are irredeemable," So umm yeah...that worked. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Yep. And with them will go the jobs and the money. Why would that happen? If wind and solar are as awesome as you claim, I see no reason they cannot flourish along with gas, oil and coal. Remember the Obama energy policy? All of the above! The more free-market options we have the cheaper our energy will be and that helps everyone. To be properly "free market", ALL costs need to be included. Including the cost of cleaning up afterwards. Haha...you used free market when talking about the US energy supply. Nothing is free market about any of it. Its simply the government picking the winners and losers. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Not a cutaway. My first was a pull out floater on an old SST rig (Struggle Struggle Thump). Long story short I tried to get the floating pud a bit too long. When I dumped my 26' LoPo reserve the pilot chute didn't clear my burble right away. Line stretch finally ~600 ft. Emotions? It changed the sport completely for me. I now knew I probably wouldn't brainlock and die. It was a real confidence boost. I had to go to dinner that night with my first wife and her sister. It was there that I decided my life was too short to be unhappy. All I could think about was being where people could understand what I'd just experienced. I left her shortly after.

I thought all of humankind knew this. Using Yahoo for business purposes is a bad idea to me. Register a domain already! I only use Yeehaw for not-reply required registrations (only after deciding I didn't want to use support@microsoft.com or no@fuckingway.com), then chuckle when I get the notice to my regular email address they prevented a log on attempt from Ukraine or Viet Nam. I have a domain. But I've used that address for my business for almost 5 years. I'm afraid if I change it some of my clients will lose track of me. Not to mention all of the apps that I use that are tied to that address. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

I use Outlook 2016 connected to my Yahoo email account. Yahoo has been throwing up a warning (see attached pic). So, when Outlook tries to login to Yahoo it gets blocked by the pop-up.

International arrivals suck everywhere. Came back to CLE from Cancun is February. Cleveland's program is terrible. You have to board a bus to get from international arrivals to immigration.

Do you hear yourself? This is Whitewater all over again. Republicans couldn't believe Clinton beat Bush. There must have been some dark, sinister ploy afoot. I'm all for a thorough investigation. While we're at it let's have a thorough investigation of the Obama minions. Remember, these are the guys who delayed processing paperwork for right wing organizations. While I have no doubt that Trump's minions are capable I feel the same way about Obama's. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Interesting. A real eye-opener to be sure. I think the balancing force is still capitalism. If all of us are replaced by bots where will we displaced people get the money to buy what the bots are producing? Henry Ford made his mark by making sure his products could be purchased by the people who worked for him. There is a delicate balance to be sure. Please don't dent the planet.

Sorry Bill. Maybe when you're a bit older you'll begin to see a pattern... In 1970 these were the predictions; 1. Harvard biologist George Wald estimated that “civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.” 2. “We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation,” wrote Washington University biologist Barry Commoner in the Earth Day issue of the scholarly journal Environment. 3. The day after the first Earth Day, the New York Times editorial page warned, “Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources, not merely to enhance existence but to save the race from intolerable deterioration and possible extinction.” 4. “Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make,” Paul Ehrlich confidently declared in the April 1970 Mademoiselle. “The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years.” 5. “Most of the people who are going to die in the greatest cataclysm in the history of man have already been born,” wrote Paul Ehrlich in a 1969 essay titled “Eco-Catastrophe! “By…[1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistic, think the ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of the 1980s.” 6. Ehrlich sketched out his most alarmist scenario for the 1970 Earth Day issue of The Progressive, assuring readers that between 1980 and 1989, some 4 billion people, including 65 million Americans, would perish in the “Great Die-Off.” 7. “It is already too late to avoid mass starvation,” declared Denis Hayes, the chief organizer for Earth Day, in the Spring 1970 issue of The Living Wilderness. 8. Peter Gunter, a North Texas State University professor, wrote in 1970, “Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions….By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine.” 9. In January 1970, Life reported, “Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support…the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution…by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half….” 10. Ecologist Kenneth Watt told Time that, “At the present rate of nitrogen buildup, it’s only a matter of time before light will be filtered out of the atmosphere and none of our land will be usable.” 11. Barry Commoner predicted that decaying organic pollutants would use up all of the oxygen in America’s rivers, causing freshwater fish to suffocate. 12. Paul Ehrlich chimed in, predicting in his 1970 that “air pollution…is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone.” Ehrlich sketched a scenario in which 200,000 Americans would die in 1973 during “smog disasters” in New York and Los Angeles. 13. Paul Ehrlich warned in the May 1970 issue of Audubon that DDT and other chlorinated hydrocarbons “may have substantially reduced the life expectancy of people born since 1945.” Ehrlich warned that Americans born since 1946…now had a life expectancy of only 49 years, and he predicted that if current patterns continued this expectancy would reach 42 years by 1980, when it might level out. 14. Ecologist Kenneth Watt declared, “By the year 2000, if present trends continue, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate…that there won’t be any more crude oil. You’ll drive up to the pump and say, `Fill ‘er up, buddy,’ and he’ll say, `I am very sorry, there isn’t any.'” 15. Harrison Brown, a scientist at the National Academy of Sciences, published a chart in Scientific American that looked at metal reserves and estimated the humanity would totally run out of copper shortly after 2000. Lead, zinc, tin, gold, and silver would be gone before 1990. 16. Sen. Gaylord Nelson wrote in Look that, “Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, believes that in 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.” 17. In 1975, Paul Ehrlich predicted that “since more than nine-tenths of the original tropical rainforests will be removed in most areas within the next 30 years or so, it is expected that half of the organisms in these areas will vanish with it.” 18. Kenneth Watt warned about a pending Ice Age in a speech. “The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years,” he declared. “If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.” So...BTDT. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
