If the technology that provides the power changes, and it is, then something will change. Who are these doom and gloom merchants and why is their alleged hypocrisy significant?

If by friendly towards the UK you mean that he supported Brexit, maybe. But I suspect his motives weren't so much about being friendly towards brexit as they were about being hostile towards the EU. I'm sure that hostility pleased his good buddy, Vladimir Putin.

It addresses a theoretical basis for charging Israel with war crimes. And since it involves widespread starvation, it clearly touches on the issue of genocide.

I see you're still offering no defense for the contents of that highly deficient video you posted.

"Charge" can simply mean an accusation.

Anyone familiar with Christie's reign in NJ might have doubts about his possession principles.

The issue is Netanyahu's reaction to the charge and the charge itself, not when it's going to be submitted.

The only way you can construe this to mean anything other than what it clearly says is if you're a mind reader. Not surprisingly, apparently lots of Trump supporters believe themselves to be just that.

Actually, the only confirmation we have here is your imperfect understanding of English. What is there about... “And when there’s a crash — I hope it’s going to be during this next 12 months because I don’t want to be Herbert Hoover. The one president I just don’t want to be, Herbert Hoover.” ...that you don't understand.

Allow me to explain. When people like you make these posts, you don't even provide any evidence that you've bothered to view it. After all, you extracted 0 talking points from the video. In fact, given the video narrators bizarre praise of Elon Musk/Tesla in how it sources and uses lithium, I'd be surprised if you did actually view the whole thing. But what using videos does allow you to do is require exorbitant amounts of time be spent viewing and extracting the points raised. In the future, if you want a reply to the video, extract the points yourself. Show that you've put in the work and time that you expect from others.

Another conspiracy theorist. I bet you've had a lot of theorizing practice.

Still evading the issue of the cr#ppiness of the video you posted.

Or maybe Biden will lose because of this? U.S. unemployment has been under 4% for the longest streak since the Vietnam War https://www.npr.org/2024/01/05/1222714145/jobs-report-december-labor-wages

I apologize for what you construe to be an insult. I'm particularly repentant because you're using it to point out the massive deficiencies of the video you posted. Got any specific defenses for its failures?

So why did you rule out making a comparison? Is less harmful not a crucial point?

It's not my fault if the written word poses challenges for you. Still, I decided to give it a go, this once. First fault: The narrator called lithium 'non renewable". What does that even mean? The fact is that it's 99% recyclable. Later in the video he talks about the need for recycling these batteries as though it isn't already a fact. He also nowhere offers a comparison of magnitude of the pollution effects of lithium extraction vs fossil fuel extraction. He makes a very outdated reference to possible replacements for lithium. He does, however, praise Tesla, for having solved the problems of pollution associated with lithium. Go figure. I thought, maybe, because the creator of this video doesn't include progress that's been made with regards to these issues, that this video was created a long time ago. But according to Youtube, it was posted only a year ago. So the creator doesn't even have the passage of time as an excuse. There's a reason that the mods delete videos like this that come from sources that can offer no proof of their crediblity. I hope the mods don't delete this one since it's typical of the kind of junk that ACC denialists get their info from.

Well, it's better than defending the fact that little help would forthcoming for that 20 million if the other major political party had its way . Of course, in most developed nations, all citizens are eligible for government supported health care. Their incomes have nothing to do with it.

I ignore videos because they are time consuming and much more difficult to refute given the necissity of transcribing the points they make.. There's plenty of written material out there. Why not use that? But given that it's a lot easier to refute something that's put in writing, I suspect you won't. Tell you what. You post the specific times in that video where points gets made and I'll look at them.

Like most, if not all, anthropogenic climate change denialists, you don't seem to appreciate the concept of rates. It is true that Milankovitch cycles which have to do with the Earth's orbit, do play a big role in climate change. However, a cycle takes about 41000 years to complete. So the rate of change due to the Milankovitch cycles takes place very slowly. To put it another way, where would you put your money given 2 investments of equal risk: one that pays 1% interest and another that pays 10% interest? Rates matter. And the relatively rapid rise that is occurring now has little to do with Milankovitch cycles.

First off, what you ignore is the issue of comparative harm. How much harm does extraction of fossil fuel and the burning of it cause vs. extraction of lithium. Also, there are now coming online new and less polluting ways to extract lithium. https://www.cleantech.com/direct-lithium-extraction/ Also, lithium batteries are recyclable. Fossil fuels not. In addition, sodium based batteries are beginning to supplant lithium in some vehicles: https://cleantechnica.com/2023/12/29/electric-cars-powered-by-sodium-ion-batteries-go-on-sale-in-china/ And there are other technologies like aluminium sulfide batteries in the works: https://www.euronews.com/green/2022/08/29/battery-breakthrough-scientists-invent-cheap-aluminium-sulphur-alternative-to-lithium-ion- And for power storage on the grid, cheap and low polluting technologies like iron oxide based batteries are easly outcompeting gas peaker plants. https://www.311institute.com/grid-scale-iron-battery-storage-helps-utilities-eliminate-gas-peaker-plants/

Congratulations. You're only almost 200 years behind the times. In the 19th century, the great Irish physicist john tindall, reported on the heat trapping power of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2020/jul/opinion-john-tyndall-forgotten-co-discoverer-climate-science#:~:text=In 1859%2C Tyndall showed that,emanating from the Earth's surface. Or was he an agent of Big Green, too?

Because the US medical system has been such a resounding success? https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/fund-reports/2021/aug/mirror-mirror-2021-reflecting-poorly

Right. It's a case of Big Green vs. tiny oil. As for the rest of your claims...got any quantifiable facts to compare the damage caused by renewables as opposed to the damage caused by burning fossil fuels? Yours is just another Pavlovian response.

January 10, 2024 / 5:15 PM EST / CBS News Twenty million Americans signed up for affordable health insurance for 2024, breaking an enrollment record under the Affordable Care Act for the third consecutive year, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced Wednesday. "With six days left to still get covered, 8 million more Americans have signed up for ACA coverage than when I took office," President Biden said in a statement on Wednesday, adding that most enrollees will be eligible to select a plan that could cost just $10 a month — or even less. Mr. Biden also slammed Republicans who have blocked efforts to "build upon this progress and make these lower health care premiums permanent," alleging that the GOP's healthcare plan would raise healthcare costs for millions — specifically for elderly Americans and small business owners. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/affordable-care-act-record-enrollment-20-million-americans-2024/

Voter data expert hired by Trump campaign says 2020 election was not stolen Ken Block, whom the Trump campaign hired in 2020 to find voter fraud in the election, penned an op-ed Tuesday stating unequivocally that the 2020 presidential election was not stolen and that there was no evidence of voter fraud sufficient to change the outcome of the election. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4385239-voter-data-expert-trump-campaign-2020-election-not-stolen/ Trump paid me to find voter fraud. Then he lied after I found 2020 election wasn't stolen. The findings of my company’s in-depth analysis are detailed in the depositions taken by the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. The transcripts show that the campaign found no evidence of voter fraud sufficient to change the outcome of any election. That message was communicated directly to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. https://eu.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2024/01/02/trump-lies-voter-fraud-2020-impact-2024-election/72057016007/
