John, I think if you brush up on the merits and miracles of the trickle down economy, your questions will be answered. Most of the poor and downsliding middle-class are masters at making ends meet. Food would certainly become cheaper if we all became vegetarian. Maybe instead of crappy 4 cylinder cars, we could make more crappy 2 cylinder cars. The really snooty dudes would feel superior having 4 under the hood at that point. Increasing the production of AR-15s would go along way to making things better also. I don't have one yet - may as well get one. It is the way!
Oh, I almost forgot.....we need more stadiums! I've been thinking lately that for every bridge that collapses we should build a new stadium.

Who said anything about organic? Clearly the future is Monsanto. Tomorrow you will be Round-Up Ready!
If Monsanto got its sh#t together, they could have insecticides that act preemptively on a variety of cancers. There is nothing we can't accomplish if we put our heads together. They should also just put the Round-up in the water supply and quick f*#king around.

No such thing as a VEGEN that does not insist on organic
I said vegetarian...... And I did say 'if we all became vegetarian'. There's no f*#king way 7 billion and more will be eating 'organic'.

Anyway, if you take into account the orbital and axial cycles, the fact we came out of a grand minima of solar activity coinciding with the little ice age, to the mid to late 20th century grand maxima of solar activity, then throw in fluctuations of oceanic cycles of differing frequency you can easily explain the 0.7 c global temp increase of the 20th century with only a feeble anthropogenic contribution.
This seems like you're leaving it as an exercise to the reader. That would be fine if we all had a background in this area. Hell it's typical in textbooks given that the reader has the appropriate background.
HOWEVER, very few of us here are climate scientists. For those of us that don't would/could you please fill in the details especially since you claim one can easily explain this? I'd like to see it spelled out with things that someone with a good undergraduate science background should be able to understand - equations, their basis, their solutions, and reasons for approximations used. Additionally if the approximations or equations are non standard please rigorously justify this. Lets say you keep it to a multivariate calculus level (you claimed it was easy, even implied trivial).
Since you claim it can be done easily you should be able to put it together as simple lecture notes in less than an hour or so...Sh#t if it's that trivial this shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes...Unless you can't, and then I wonder what that means?

Chief, I think Bruce is on your side more than you realize. You could argue with a rock.

yeah - you have a problem with that?
Wow, there are a lot of shoulder chips on this thread! I asked a very neutral question and it's assumed I'm against a progressive agenda.

What, did you think you could change the atmosphere around here? Here, you round-up to the lowest common denominator......and you don't want to show'em your chalk!

Nope. Just survive it. It's a little like Jack Warner's paper mill on the Black Warrior at times!

But in order to lower the costs of living for the 7 billion plus, that doesn't calculate. I hate to think cow pies will be a thing of the past. It's enough of a reason to de-populate now. I think quite a bit about cattle grazing in pastures and think that if nobody ate them.....well, they would have any life at all. Feedlots? Don't need no stinkin feedlots!

and I would suspect most point to greater progressivism in the economic sphere.
I took it as though he was being positive about progressivism. The only alternative is Soylent Green.

Somewhere in there Chief, if I really put my mind to it, I could find where you are arguing against your own best interests.

I'm not assuming too much. I mean that in a positive way. You are OK in my book! Hey, I just found my bike shorts and am going for a spin. Later!

Please show me ONE VEGAN CERT'd product that is not also GMO Free Cert'd as well.
Vegan foods don't need to be certified 'vegan'.
Didya know that conventional apples and oranges are vegan foods? Do they need to be certified 'vegan'?
GMO corn, soybeans and papayas are vegan.
Jebus you are stupid Chief.
