I didn't see a thread for this. Has anyone been following the climate talks in Paris? I've been seeing a lot of optimism in the blogsphere, but I'm personally skeptical that anything will come of it.
US involvement is predicated on Obama's successor not being Republican, and I can't imagine any plan holding together if the US isn't also part the deal.
I will say that I was encouraged by seeing a number of very rich and important business leaders saying that climate change/global warming is a big problem.
No the best part was some kid apparently suing Obama right? Whatever happened to that little shithead?

Yes but you just called him a liberal activist, it needs to be pointed out he needs mommy and daddy to get into an R rated movie. But has he disappeared? Are they still trying to go through with this nonsense?

Surely they aren't going to let this kid take this to court. For me a little girl who lost her tooth and received no money and decided to sue the tooth fairy..that girl's case would have more merit.

If this is where not discriminating leads us to then thanks, but no thanks.

These sorts of talks never go anywhere beyond bureaucratic wrangling, ideas that are never followed through, and attempting to bind more economically powerful countries onto protocols that are never followed by smaller countries. This seems to be the trend every year, that they make ideas regarding emissions, print out labyrinthine climate forecasts/trends for the years to come, but its all ineffective becaue countries like China/The US stonewall any recommendations by the IPCC and other climate research organizations. So I ask what the **** is the point of trying to act like we're concerned, when the steps towards actually remedying supposedly manmade climate change are so feeble?

Yes for me whenever I hear of a bunch of filthy rich people getting together..no matter what reason they give for why, I always just think it's mostly so they can polish each others knobs.

This is also funny because in this country we have bonafide legal discrimination and yet people act like discriminating is bad and yet...affirmative action is totally cool.
So we can totally discriminate as long as the discrimination is against whites and helps minorities. But hey [insert excuse for why this is okay].

If countries were as serious about tackling climate change as they were terrorism, we'd be a-okay.
With affirmative action, in a lot of cases it's needed, because there's still plenty of latent racism that makes getting certain jobs more difficult for minorities.
It's not ideal, but the alternative is basically just to hope against reason that employers won't be racially biased, which simply won't work.

This is true, unfortunately for some whether they know it or not they don't care as much because they don't think they will see any serious effects of climate change in their own lifetime.
In other words sometimes discrimination is necessary. I can't say I disagree with such a viewpoint.

__________________ Darwin's theory of evolution is the great white elephant of contemporary thought. It is large, completely useless, and the object of superstitious awe.-Dr. David Berlinski, Philosophy
Most people believe Evolution not because they themselves are dumb, but cause they trust the "experts" who are feeding them evolutionary fast food, and so they don't bother questioning whether or not it's true.
It comes down to money. They companies who stand to profit from cleaner, more efficient systems are the ones making it happen. They get the lobbyists, the put up the capital, and they stay on task until whatever their projects are get done.
I will say that individuals have the ability to make a difference, though. When I was at home I pressed my parents about recycling, and they and I'm sure others pressed the garbage company until they started recycling pick up. We didn't even have to push the garbage out more than every other week because so much of what we use everyday can be recycled. Note, though, that it costs extra for the recycling pick up, so the company gets paid there, and makes money off of the recycling.
You don't believe in evolution though. So you see why you calling this a hoax is..meaningless.
