About Trumps withdrawl of the US from the Paris Climate Agreement

US impliments 90%+ (and growing) clean coal plants that emit LITERALLY NOTHING but CO2 (CO2 is not unhealthy for living creatures so long as it doesnt displace the oxygen, which it is nowhere even close to doing) but we're the bad guys who make the air unhealthy because we wont pay for other countries to do it.

Thats pretty much what OP is saying.

F that.

 

I prefer my local nuclear plant but that's just me I guess..

 

That's what I thought. Even you know "more coal" was a ruse on poor desperate people.

 

I take Jimmy Carter's word for it, he was always out in the peanut fields and considering we are getting close/ real close in our life time..



Calm Seas on Titan: Saturn Moon's Waves Less Than 1 Inch High

The liquid-hydrocarbon lakes and seas on Titan are incredibly calm, suggesting that future missions to the huge Saturn moon could enjoy a smooth ride to the surface, a new study reports.




The waves rippling the three largest lakes in Titan's northern hemisphere are tiny, according to the study — just 0.25 inches (1 centimeter) high by about 8 inches (20 cm) long.

"There's a lot of interest in one day sending probes to the lakes, and when that's done, you want to have a safe landing, and you don't want a lot of wind," study lead author Cyril Grima, a research associate at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG), said in a statement. "Our study shows that because the waves aren't very high, the winds are likely low."

 

Cool, write him.

 

I just like cheap power bills ,but when we are on a lull in New technology why don't we have cheap God given to fill the void ?

 

The majority of the nuclear plants in the US are leaking radiation at levels previously determined to be harmful to humans and the environment ( and everything, really), and instead of fixing them, regulatory agencies just keep raising the levels of whats considered 'safe.' Fukushima continues to spew radioactive heavy metals into the pacific. The most fertile region of Russia is *still* unusable because of the Chernobyl 'incident'... And you still trust humans with nuclear power.

'Alien' asteroid spotted dive-bombing our solar system

Astronomers may have discovered the first interstellar object, a comet or asteroid that's broken free of another star to pay a visit to our sun.

Did we get a visit from an interstellar object? Scientists believe it's very likely.

All the asteroids and comets astronomers have ever spotted in our celestial neighborhood appear to come from somewhere else in the solar system and orbit the sun, just like Earth.

That is, until the University of Hawaii's Pan-STARRS 1 telescope last week discovered what appears to be the first ever seen "interstellar object" -- an asteroid (or maybe a comet) that escaped from the gravitational grasp of another star and fell through the roof of our solar system.

 

You have a link for that knowledge sir?

 

When will the sky fall?

 

.

 

Do you have a link for how we should fund defense of the sun from rogue asteroids?

 

Would it change your position on nuclear power if I provided links?

 

Probably the same time the earth cools again to another ice age..

 

Wait so you are more concerned about a natural occurring event like the climate changes then a rouge alien race throwing an asteroid at us, because they are sick of the "I love Lucy reruns"..?

 

Nope because I go outside..but just out of curiosity..

 

I'm attempting to locate your coherence, have you seen it?

 

Think 400 years of coal.

 

Whats that got to do with it?

Anyway, given the source, its likely a whitewash, but its quick and to the point.

The nuke plant was built wrong in Japan, but you already knew that so was Chernobyl .

 

Btw I have a friend working at the local power plant ..he tells me it's safe as heck...

 

One thing I can't stand is people posting propaganda on these sites..

 

They're all built wrong. They all rely on government regulation and human competence to not melt down.

Everything else that humans have built stop working when humans ignore it. Nuke plants are all designed to melt down and cause catastrophic environmental damage and mass suffering and death unless humans constantly work to turn that potential into usable energy and maintain all its systems properly. Its only a matter of time.
