    I've got a study that goes into everything that was wrong with Fukushima; probably a good place to start.

    Probably still wasn't a good idea to setup those backup generators below sea level though.

    Conservatism and the Environment

    In my experience, most politicians who switch back and forth like that are just trying to chase votes; and from what I've managed to dig up on John Curtis, that seems to be the case with him as well. Regardless though, my original point was that I don't think the Republican Climate Caucus is...

    I'm pretty sure John Curtis, a career politician who was only a Democrat from 2000 to 2006, and a Republican before and after that, switched parties for different reasons than you did.

    Actually, the existence of the Caucus seems more rooted in the Republican establishment's desire to cave to basically every demand of the Democrats, than anything else. I mean, it's being spearheaded by a guy in his sixties who used to be a Democrat for Pete's sake; that doesn't sound like it...

    And personally? I don't see how that works. The last thing on anyone's minds right now, that I've talked to (aside from you of course), is the environment; so from my perspective, the right going green can't be that big of a selling point.

    I don't know; maybe because these rest of us might be interested in seeing if there's still a discussion to be had? If the thread dies without you, so be it; but shutting it down out of spite is just disrespectful to everyone who's posted in it, including me. Besides; what exactly does it cost...

    Then have the decency to bow out with some grace, and don't try to sabotage things on your way out.

    You know Bacle, demanding that the mods shut down a discussion that didn't go your way isn't the mark of someone who's confident in his argument.

    Conservatism and the Environment

    And let's be honest; most regressive left "environmentalists" are really only in it for the social implications of what they're advocating for. They don't give a crap about the environment, they just want to be able to tell you what you can and can't do.

    Conservatism and the Environment

    It's all because planned obsolescence is the business model corporations have stuck with for generations; they want to force you to keep buying new stuff every couple of years, and being able to repair your old stuff gets in the way of that. Heck, the only reason the right to repair has...

    Conservatism and the Environment

    It's one of the many reasons I don't bother trying to find out what's true, and what isn't when it comes to which disasters are looming on the horizon environmentally speaking; because in the end, all we can really do about it is the same thing I was taught to do when I was a kid. Reduce, reuse...

    Some of them may be real, but they're often exaggerated and/or misrepresented to the point that it's understandable many people have come to believe that they don't actually exist.

    Conservatism and the Environment

    Yet more reason for me to absolutely despise the man. Seriously, Obama was a far worse president than either his predecessor, or his successor; the only thing he had going for him was his charisma, which itself was blown out of proportion by a mainstream media hellbent on propping him up like...

    But the Chinese aren't happy, nor are they prosperous; they're just lying to themselves.

    Conservatism and the Environment

    I never really cared whether it was a real phenomenon or not; because there are so many things that we should be doing to fix the environment anyways that, if climate change is a thing and we're to blame, we'd be fixing it just as a side effect of making our planet a nicer place to live in.

    You already know the answer to that question.

    They deserve so much worse; the spoiled, arrogant narcissists.

    Conservatism and the Environment

    A Canadian researcher was ideologically purged recently, for pointing out that polar bear populations are actually rising. This; this right here? Nonsense like this is what makes me question why the science behind climate change has been dominated by ideologues, instead of scientists; as well...

    The ivory trade (or at least, what Asia contributes to it, because there's still a market for it in western nations) is mostly because the Chinese have rather primitive ideas about medicine; many of them honestly still think it has medicinal properties. As for whaling; a lot of that has to do...
