Too funny. This entire thread is the antithesis that you have a flexible learning attitude about energy, the environment and the relationship of man's influence on the environment.

It means that Fancy Bear is yuck yucking it up in a Moscow suburb. Wondering about the genius of President Putin and the stupidity of Americans.

That is an amusing ad but as everyone knows it would only be lie 23,233 on Nov. 5th.

Thats probably a good summation about people in general on an issue which they most likely see doesn't directly put a buck in their pocket. The gumment could increase response rates if respondents were entered in a Loto to win $10 million.

NFL fined three coaches and teams over a million dollars for not wearing masks on the sidelines on the weekend. Yesterday trump repeated on FOX the remarks he made on the weekend that "the virus only attacks the old with heart problems". Sounds like a pick six for the NFL and a R quarterback on way to retirement.

Sorry about that i was going to add an emoji but was doing something else at the same time. no offense intended.

And yet here you are imaging that your opinions have substance in the discussion at hand.

Merely the subconscious at work. Perfectly understandable.

No, the current climate may suggest that but during the Clinton impeachment it was probably the opposite.Keep in mind that the classification of argument all falls under dishonest.

The so called trolls expose the same theology, thinking, philosophy,legal opinions as the President of the US. The same as his followers, enablers and voting supporters. They have remained steadfast in their support for trumpism in the face of facts, the media worldwide and midterm elections. Thirty eight percent are locked into that support. Yet some expect those same supporters here to change those opinions. Despite 200,000 dead, goatf*ck after train wreck. They are so confident of their debating skills that banning is their sole remedy. Above from.and further reading on debate.

Thats what bankruptcy is for. So oil companies can pay directors,shareholders and walk away from cleanup costs. "Oil and gas companies are hurtling toward bankruptcy, raising fears that wells will be left leaking planet-warming pollutants, with cleanup costs left to taxpayers."... The industry’s decline may be just beginning. Almost 250 oil and gas companies could file for bankruptcy protection by the end of next year, more than the previous five years combined, according to Rystad Energy, an analytics company. ... Even before the current downturn, methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, was being released from production sites in America’s biggest oil field at more than twice the rate previously estimated, according to a recent study based on satellite data. Some experts say that with the industry in disarray, efforts to fix leaks of methane, which pound for pound can warm the planet more than 80 times as much as carbon dioxide... The federal government estimates that there are already more than three million abandoned oil and gas wells across the United States, two million of which are unplugged, releasing the methane equivalent of the annual emissions from more than 1.5 million cars.

US spends $81 billion a year to protect global oil supplies, report estimates The wars that really are about the oil America’s ‘hidden subsidies’ for fossil fuels are worth $170 billion a year You're right likely 1000 American dead every year to pay for the wars. A quarter trillion dollars per year in protection and subsidies costs. Not even close.

I know lots of cops and used to go shooting with them fairly often. They collectively view criticism of bad cops as an assault on their jobs and personal identity. They are shortchanged by bad pay, poor training and a overemphasis on lethal defense. Lethal defense because the public is always ready to kill them. That every interaction with the public is inherently dangerous and the Glock on the hip is your way home that night. Specialty training of hostage rescue specialists where they emphasize talking, waiting, listening, deescalation is missing in beat cops. For beat cops its order, expect compliance and resistance licensees lethal force. LE needs more emphasis on backing off, calling more backup, patience and deescalation.

Yes. I love it when chumming brings the fish to the hook.

Deere combines harvesting corn in Iceland and Alaska. Its the dream of every climate science denier.

Trump has had four years to change forest management practices on federal land. To get rid of exploding trees and leaves that don't decay but instead act as gasoline. All of which is b.s. Drought, record temperatures, urbanization of forested areas have all contributed. Australia and now the US. Its not rocket science except to conservatives who use climate science denial to frame their understandings.

So a cop choking someone to death who is already in handcuffs is a no win situation? So someone who is unarmed, shot in the back multiple times is a no win situation? So someone unarmed running away from their car in a traffic stop, with their verified drivers license in the possession of LE.Is shot in the back is a no win situation? The common factor is the refusal of LE to step back from deadly force and deescalate. The continued use of force when the training dictates that in custody means protecting the suspects life. Because the courts deal with punishment not LE.

It appears as if you're quite right. But its caused by the police working to rule or just looking the other way. Rather than "protect and serve". Yet you and the right want to keep budgets as is, protect those same unions and behaviors. All in the face that whites seem to be less law abiding than blacks.

'One the same day that a QAnon supporter won a Massachusetts GOP primary unopposed, a poll showed that more than half of Republican voters think that the conspiracy theory is mostly or partly true. A Daily Kos/Civiqs poll, released on Wednesday, showed that 33 percent of Republicans believe that the QAnon theory is "mostly true". Another 23 percent believed that "some parts of the conspiracy are true".

As usual cherry picking of news by the right to confuse and mislead. "The Hennepin County Public Defender’s office conducted a similar study this year, analyzing data from June 1, 2019 to May 31, 2020—just days after George Floyd was killed. The office found that Black and East African drivers were 78% of the people searched by the police for moving or equipment violations, and only 12% were white. After being stopped, 41% of white drivers eventually were arrested, compared to only 26% of Black and East African drivers. The Minneapolis Star Tribune verified these findings. To lawyers and activists, the answer appears to be simple: Black Minneapolitans are being targeted—consciously or unconsciously—because of their race. “When I talk to people in the community, Black people know they’re being profiled,” Moriarty, who is white, said. “Nobody stops my car because my tail light’s out and then tries to search it.”... The department has been making an average of 80% fewer traffic stops each week since May 25, the day of Floyd’s death, according to an analysis by Bloomberg CityLab." It’s a particularly striking data point given observations in some U.S. cities that police appear to be quietly disengaging from some parts of their jobs." So instead of protect and serve its let the criminals loose on the public so budgets can be sustained.

Arson is a red herring in the entire wildfire/forest fire debate. A single thunderstorm can start dozens of fires in a single day. Only super dry conditions or prolonged drought produce the massive fires that are more common now. Reckless campers start more fires than all the arsonists put together.

Because fiction is so close to the truth for the trump herd.
