redblueyellow (03/01/2014) [-] Ik snap het. Maar mensen moeten natuurlijk niet gaan denken dat nederlanders niet kunnen zwemmen. Ons hele ding is zoveel mogelijk manieren vinden om water te bestrijden.

to the best of my knowledge, this statement is correct. Gonna need to ask for some cite able evidence though I'm afraid

i am team murphypop. i just need some solid evidence to back our collective argument

Brilliant. You've done humanity a service by backing your arguments with proof and evidence, and not swear words

murphypop ONLINE (03/01/2014) [-] I'm not even done. This one's a line graph that highlights where current CO2 emissions are coming from in our fuel consumption. While it looks like it's just cancelling each other out, each line has it's own integral, so there has a much larger decrease than it seems.
#40 to #39
-
murphypop ONLINE (03/01/2014) [-] Finally, here is a double line plot that compares Europe's emission control progress with USA's emission control progress. This one is important because it compares two groups with similar economy sizes and comparable population sizes, and also because Europe is usually held up as the standard for environmental legislature.

nought (03/02/2014) [-] > Implying I'm implying
The right wing has been traditionally pro-business and a bit anti-environmentalist. The conservative American Enterprise Institute offered scientists money for criticizing a report about climate change. If you take a look at politicians who deny climate change, you'll see a pattern: Michelle Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gringritch, Ron Paul, Marco Rubio. These are all notable people representing the right wing, and the Republican party is the main right wing group in America.

sursum (03/02/2014) [-] Ron Paul isn't a denier of climate change, your just spouting off names of important figures and attaching a predetermined set of principles. And I never said the Republican party isn't the main right wing party in the US, I'm just saying that accepting the Republican ideology as the sole voice of right leaning people is incorrect.

Yeah. By outsourcing the pollution to countries with lax laws and cheap workforce. You really think China would have such a pollution problem if there wasn't money to be made?
#88 to #48
-
iridium (03/01/2014) [-] Yes.
China would be that way about pollution regardless. As a rapidly industrializing nation they would be polluted the same way with out us. Maybe not as polluted at any one point in time as we are admittedly accelerating their economy. But they would still be pretty darn polluted.

murphypop ONLINE (03/01/2014) [-] There's also an effort to "insource" manufacturing jobs, especially in the automobile industry. I absolutely hate outsourcing, but I don't think that's the primary reason we're seeing reduced emissions. And yes, I would think China would have that problem. China is combining India's population density problems with an attempt to catch up in standard of living with the rest of the world. This puts a lot of buses and cars on the roads. They also have an extremely aggresive manufacturing sector, and when you combine that with their extremely lax copyright laws, is terrible for the environment. It's the fact that you are scaling up America's culture of consumption to whatever the population of Chinese young adults is, and it's pretty obvious why China's domestic market economies are on the same scale of GLOBAL economies.

Close your eyes.
Spin around in a circle then point at a random object.
Find out where it's made
Look up that country's environmental laws compared to your own.
Repeat until you are confident that there is no sample bias.

This is actually fairly accurate for most of canada, also, we would lose minimal land mass to the ocean, and global warming would open up the northwest passage, making us a huge trade hub. Global warming would be great for Canada.

jaked (03/02/2014) [-]
Not really, our most important cities (Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal) are all located on rivers which means that they would be unaffected I believe (because the changes in ocean level are nothing compared to how much rivers change seasonally). The only really major city that would be affected would be Vancouver, but compared to how hard the changes would hit other countries and how much we'd gain from having the northwest passage open, we would be quite well off.

TardytheTurtle (03/01/2014) [-] the worse part is that Joss Whedon was too heart broken by it that even if he was given a shot, and all the planets lined up perfectly and whatnot, he won't do it again, at least they gave us comics to bridge the gap, even though I want to see Shepherd Book's story

tehlulzbringer (03/01/2014) [-] man made climate change must be real, i mean think about it:
if it isn't real, then why else would i be spending $30k on a car that's not only saving earth, but also helping me look like an insufferable jackass?
there's no way i'm just being conned, right goys?
