    There is a massive difference in Carbon vs Carbon Dioxide. Life is based on the Carbon cycle. This all went to hell in a handbag when the politicians got their hands on this.

    No, the only way is for governments to do something. Just like you weren't goign to do anything on your own to fight the nazis. But, doesn't it bother you that you don't know anything about what you are talking about? Obviously your plan is terrible, but why would you think it was ok?

    If you were going to pretend to know what you were talking about, shouldn't you avoid specifics that prove you don't?

    We have among our poster family a man that is called Chemical Engineer. He when he shows up gives good solid information. And he is not insulting others like you insult others.

    I don't know how one should politely respond to clear nonsense. If someone just says "we should raise the fed because unicorns eat parsley" how do you respond politely to that?

    Well, I dunno. Governments are filled with politicians who don't have any incentive to worry about anything beyond the next election cycle.

    The nazis weren't really our problem, just as the kaiser wasn't our problem. If Europeans want to kill each other, that's fine with me. My relatives left that place centuries ago because they're all pretty much crazy.

    As for my plan, I don't see a problem with it. As I said, Alaska is a beautiful state, but just too cold at the moment. A bit of global warming would benefit both future Alaskans such as myself, and our wonderful Canadian neighbors to the east.

    Oh, the last time I saw that guy, he posted a video about evolution that so horribly misrepresented the science that I couldn't have made up a worse interpretation. When I explained some of the actual science, he insulted me and blocked me.

    Follow my lead. I do my level best not to taunt nor insult our guests on this forum. There is no good to be obtained by trying to smart mouth posters.

    So, when it comes to the question of cigarettes causing cancer, are you going to believe the government or the cigarette companies?

    But, other than enlisting, is ther anything you could do to fight the nazis?

    How well can you live in alaska if there is no U.S. government?

    Oh, I'm smart, but a long long way from the smartest. But ce dude was in no way civil, or educated, or polite. And just a little scientific knowledge showed how bad his stuff was.

    Cigarettes coupled to the Nazis. What a way to talk to posters.

    Would you say your IQ ranges from 100 and 110?

    If you don't get it, don't worry about it. But, if you can't understand, look for smart people. Don't try to do it yourself.

    Was your education about Evolution? Did you read and study the awesome book called the Cradle of Life? I have studied that book and do highly recommend the book. Professor Schopf is the author.

    Much higher than that, but IQ is a pretty nebulous measurement. So, I wouldn't put too much stock in it.

    As I recall, biology was a 1 year term study in HS and used 1 book. I would embarrass you telling you how many books I have on evolution.

    Yeah, probably we started learning about it a lot earlier. I wouldn't by embarrassed be your books on biology no matter how big that number was. What would make you think it would?

    Your first question is a false dilemma. There are other options like believing doctors who have studied the effects of smoking, or simply not caring. My wife is a nurse, so I'm used to her telling me that certain things aren't healthy or can be dangerous. If it was up to her, my only enjoyment in life would be pushing the shopping cart past the beer aisle and heading straight to the granola and kale section.

    Why would I want to fight the nazis? I'm not Polish.

    How could I live in alaska if there is no US government? Have you seen that place? It's not exactly filled with helpful government employees making sure that each resident is safely tucked into bed each night. Government isn't going to help you, but you might be able to help yourself.

    It kind of is a false dilemma I admit. That's actually a pretty good call. But, that seems to be the only two options as it pertains to climate change.

    Well, our life in any one place actually dpends on the rest of the world. So, if we were the only non-nazi country, wouldn't that be bad?

    Alaska is what it is because it it isn't russian.
