It is good to have a safe place for childless white dudes. I'm guessing your mom's abortion didn't work? But she's still so proud of you!!!

One would presume that they would need to be at the heart of any effective carbon emission reduction. That is, if they are being genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, that's the point I was making before, if we develop cheaper better energy we will be more competitive and the others will have to follow.

Glad we agree on getting change done Even if you were correct it would take too long to convert over to wind and solar energy to make a difference. Maybe, just maybe if we got all of the other countries to reject the Paris Climate agreement like we did and reduce carbon emissions like we have there's a chance, however slim, that we can save the world.

I'd rather sell the rest of the world natural gas so that they could get rid of old coal operated plants. We reduced our carbon emission by 20% over the last decade or so, let them follow our example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green energy is even cleaner, requires less--much less--cost in transportation, refining, mining and all that. What's wrong with cheaper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the community you built! I support your safe space. So you weren't "just curious" if that affects anyone's vote. It is a loaded question for you to rag on people with no children? I never answered your "poll" because I figured it was B.S. and frankly none of your business. I was taught not to ask someone whether he or she is married or has kids or what they do for a living before I got to speak with and get to know them without my preconceived notions getting in the way. It was good advice given to me -- you should try to take it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pointing out the local demographic. One woman. No one of color that has ever mentioned it besides Magox, who is one of the highest quality posters here, but has long since abandoned this place. A high % of childless white dudes. I am curious how that informs people's decisions at the polls. Of course people's life demographics inform their decisions.
