Global Warming?

Well, recently I came across a few people saying Global warming is a lot of BS, or something like that. I am not very informed on this topic, and well Im happy to admit that.

I think we are not being told some things, regarding the "Global warming idea" , and I know that the polar ice caps bloddy well grew, but to those who were saying, its a hoax. Can you explain to me why?, I aint trying to debate, I have no clue just want to hear what you are saying, thks

Good joke.

"I came, I saw, I conquered" Written in a report to Rome 47 B.C., after conquering Pharnaces at Zela in Asia Minor in just five days; as quoted in Life of Caesar by Plutarch; reported to have been inscribed on one of the decorated wagons in the Pontic triumph, in Lives of the Twelve Caesars, Julius, by Suetonius.

Quite possible. You are using electricity to power your computer. The electricity is being made by burning fossil fuels, to eveaporate water so that the steam turns a tubine, which powers the coil which makes electricity. And so, as I am typeing this I am burning fossilfuels, that produce CO2 while combusted. Therefore, yes the political debates can contribute to global warming. :P :lol4:

Only about 5% of the human population has solar panels. I think.

Could have. But, I guessed. Check on the internet and find out.

Look, I'm not going to argue for capitalism because you obviously hate its guts, and nothing can convince that it's good. But let me argue against Communism. Communism, in essence, is a very good idea, but an idea that cannot and won't even work. Communism is like an abstract painting: when you want it to have a meaning, and therefore 'work', it loses its abstractness, or in this case its Communism. You cannot take from the rich and give to the poor, because they'll just leave. And even if you prevent them from leaving, their wealth cannot lasst forever. Another flaw is the lack of incentives. Even Nikita Khruschev once said "Call it what you will, incentives are what get people to work harder." A functioning society needs incentives. If not, efficiency is massively reduced, and the country won't do anything.

You guys keep ignoring the medals!

Lol, no offense, but what kind of medal is one that you give to 2 million people?

Btw, putting a Stalin quote in my sig!

Lol, well, the Pope used to be able to send the whole Christian world on Crusades. The kids too. Think he could do this today?

I was wondering about it yesterday. If the Pope declared war on, say, Syria, how many of his followers would go to war with Syria?

Let's force the Pope to declare war on Syria, and see what happens.

I agree that communism has been abused in the past. But I continue to believe adaptations of communism have potential. Marxism, the form of communism that removes all incentives, will never work. Complete equality is impossible. Not all people are naturally equal, some are more capable than others. But you can remove classes without achieving wage equality. If somebody doesn't work, you can give him a bunk in a room with 20 people in it. At least he has some form of security. If somebody is responsible for an entire industry, you can give him some extra luxuries.

Payment should be determined by a combination of how dangerous or difficult the job is and how important it is. Industries can be owned by the government. What I described here isn't Marxism, but it is still a form of communism. The basic idea has potential, it just needs to be given a chance.
