    That's okay. I have yet to see a rocket that needed a surgeon. And don't underestimate a blue collar worker. Some are very bright. Some even have to go over and correct prints made by engineers. Then they have to put it together and make it work.

    Obama signed this hoax to have something (anything) to add to his "legacy. He didn't submit it to Congress which frowned on the Kyoto Protocols years ago. The agreement looked good on paper and he could dare anyone to undo it. He didn't figure on Trump calling it what it was and tearing it up.

    These cynical accords happen a lot--politicians getting together in an expensive town to agree to agree on something and pat each other on the back for a job well done without having to do anything. This agreement was voluntary and exempted most of the world's population. It set up a superfund for third wold countries to fight climate change which would have been another third world dictators' retirement fund. Don't think it wouldn't happen. Check out world food programs and the oil-for-food program in Iraq.

    Wow, yet another conflation of nonsense. First we have racism based on the false nazi concept of aryanism. Second we have a declaration of superiority over the average person, Third we have an incredible non-sequitar bumpersticker about socialism that clearly demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of that particular political philosophy.

    Congratulations. A lot of thought must have gone into your post. A candidate for dumb post of the year for sure.

    Of course my post is dumb.
    I am subhuman. I need smart Arryans like you to tell me what to think and do.

    Same old socialism.

    Man you are just full of bumperstickers. next time you drive by a military base, drop in and share your persectives on their work ethic and competence. Maybe drop into the CDC and tell them how lazy and inefficient they are.

    I understand that when your world is constructed with partisan bumperstickers of no intellectual merit but great emotional appeal to one's existing biases, you get stupid pronouncements like yours above.

    Sadly you aren't even aware of it.

    ROFL.

    I queued 8 hours to see a doctor on the NHS.
    Only thing is, I was first in the queue.
    He arrived same time I did went into his office, slept for 8 hours then saw me.
    Awesome. Just awesome.

    They work such long hours.

    I tried teaching in the state sector this year. OMFG. Slackersville.
    I went from dawn to dusk in the fields competing to come in cheaper and faster than a tractor, to dossing around in a school for 6 hours a day. With breaks!
    Same daily pay as my Barrista job paid for a week.

    The girl whose field I am digging asks me what else I do, I say teacher.
    She's one too. "How do you find it?" she says. Now she's working in the fields next to me so I say, it's easy work. Soft job. I like it..
    She hasn't spoken to me since. LMAO.


    Slackers and time wasters. 2 months of compliance to do 2 weeks of work.
    Lazy arses.

    Mediterranean plants surviving winter's is not a good thing? If we are going to continue exploding world population don't we need all the food we can grow?

    No it is a horrible thing. Our forests need a dormant time during winter. The heat at summer and mild winters put our forests into enormous stress.

    We have different species. There is no "oak". Oaks are various different species.

    The german oak (Quercus robur) for example. As well as the European beech (Fagus sylvatica).

    Those tree species make up our forests. They depend on winters and need that time as dormant time. When they dont get it, tehy are in stress. They lose their leaves 4-5 weeks earlier. They get sick. They get more prone for parasites.

    The result is this:

    [​IMG]

    If this process continues Germany develops a tree less landscape similar to what we already have at the Heide with all its consequences, like unfertile soil, loss of species diversity.

    In the last 10 years we see a massive shift. We get species here we never had before. Malaria mosquitos suddenly exist here, we get venomous spiders. Our glaciers retreat and the mountains get destabilized.

    Former wintersport cities like Oberhof dont get snow anymore.

    Ha ha yeah thats really weird, imagine that the Thüringer Wald is not part of the Sierra Nevada? The last 4 Biathlon worldmaster ships had to be cancelled, because Oberhof had no snow in Winter.

    But who cares? let us plant palm trees there and transform it into brazilian rainforest.

    Trade Wars are like any other wars, they hurt both sides, oftentimes the "victor" suffers even more.

    I really don't see what you are getting at here, could you elaborate a little?

    Trouble is that all indications point to the tropics turning into deserts. If climate change destabilises the monsoons further we can be in real trouble

    I can't remember how long it's been since I tried the old, "But, Ma, everybody is doing it." Still seems to be popular with the liberals.

    Oh that won't happen for a hundred years, let our grandkids worry about it.

    We're supposed to starve our parents because Social Security can be made to APPEAR to be "robbing future generations" by lying pols, but when we ask cons to save themselves money by driving smaller cars for the sake of posterity we're all chicken littles who are trying to keep them from the jacked up F350s and 5x20 foot Hummers they so desperately NEED to get to and from their jobs as programmers in a skyscraper downtown.
