    Can't do that anymore, or at least until another Red Teamer is in the White House.

    $#@!ing hypocrites.
    Yea this bothers me a bit.

    I was there on Feb 15, 2003 and I didn't hear anything going on protesting current military actions. Although there are still some of those groups like code pink and others that will do their protests but nothing like what was going on back then. A huge part of this is probably because of the political party divide, but probably also because of how things are being sold now vs back then.

    It's not about 'shock and awe' and massive armies it's presented as smaller scale and in slow build ups. I would imagine if an announcement came out, even if it was Obama, that we were going to send in 300k+ Soldiers back into Iraq or some other country that isn't a immediate threat there would be massive protests again, for some reason or other people don't equate "air-strikes" with "boots on the ground", they consider air-strikes as more surgical or less likely to cause as much damage both to troops and civilians, even though the impact could be the same or worse.

    The power to charge their phones and power the cell network come from coal plants or nuclear plants. The plastic to build the phone case comes from petroleum. The chips are full of rare earth metals that are strip mined. Their cars are full of the same materials on an even larger scale. These products do not materialize out of thin air but rather are mined, formed, assembled and operated through means that contribute to the carbon emissions they are seeking to eliminate.

    Maybe the only truly intelligent response to the question.

    Thanks. Then there's the part where the cell phones are made in the heaviest polluting country on the planet that cares not one bit about their carbon emissions.

    It would be like my vegan gf protesting against meat eaters before having a burger for lunch. At least she walks the walk.

    With all the changes in the climate over hundreds of thousands of years the idea what we humans are changing it in such a short amount of time is the height of arrogance.

    Palestinian officials: Israel's shelling of Gaza equivalent to six nuclear bombs

    With all the time I've been gone I still marvel at your ability to take any topic and move to discuss Israel/Palestine.

    One day we'll play a game where I post an article about some obscure topic and you change the topic to Israel in 250 characters or less.

    Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
    Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
    Followed by fault lines that cannot sit still.
    Followed by millions of dumbfounded dip $#@!s.

    Go Forward With Courage

    When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
    when doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage.
    So long as mists envelop you, be still;
    be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists
    -- as it surely will.
    Then act with courage.

    He also gets to smoke and not be harassed about it. It must be nice to a privileged puppet.

    The uranium needed to operate it is conjured from thin air, not mined by large machines that run on fossil fuels?

    Not to mention his multiple Hollywood mansions,his luxury NYC apartment or his private Caribbean Island.

    I bet that yacht burns more fuel in 24 hours than I have burned in my V-8 4 wheel drive pickup truck in the last ten years,and which one does Leonardo want to outlaw?

    Yep,the super rich liberals supported by the useful idiots.

    She should have asked him this:

    “Don’t stronger environmental laws mean higher costs?”

    “And don’t higher costs mean more pollution?”

    the paper actually attributes it to the use of wireless networks, which would be no better if your device was a tablet or computer. Smartphones are just one of many devices which use the same wireless technology. Is wireless communication less energy consuming than using copper wires? are smartphones more efficient than computers 10 years ago?

    How about we start off on the right foot and stop conflating climate with pollution? CO2 is not a pollutant or poison. Causing climate change is not polluting.

    How many people have yachts?

    And what would it matter how much fuel is burned if you don't accept that carbon emissions influence climate?

    I wonder about how many of those 400,000 marchers legally pay zero in income tax each year and/or are on welfare and feeding at the taxpayer trough?

    the climate change debate has never been about the science. it's always been about control.
