Given China doesn't have an electorate to satisfy, I doubt they'd go so hard on green projects if they didn't think it mattered.

I wouldn't expect Trump to sit and read these things. It's just not in his personality, neither is it in Justin's. I don't really have a massive problem with it either. Whatever works. I'm more concerned about the results than the internal machinations of government headquarters.

China is also making lots of progress building tons of green alternatives. The takeaway really is, though, that none of what we do matters, as China and others continue to rapidly industrialize, much faster than we can reduce our own emissions. Given the precarity of the American world order...

Do know you the ball park of what he went down with?

Imma live like a pauper for a few years then move south. Don't know where exactly but south. Where the Sun doth shine.

Is this a joke

Has to be repeated again and again. My greatest fear is that Israel doesn't make it to the 22nd century. The US is weakening, its young generations are growing anti-semitic, malicious state actors are emboldening... Here's to hoping the threat of nuclear annihilation scares Iran enough to...

A few points: Egypt is exempt because it chooses to be so. Let's not blame the Arabs for our own failure to govern. For much of its history, the UN was ruled by a majority consisting of democracies. Today, its ruling majority is made up of authoritarian regimes. The purpose of a system is...

In 6 years Russia will have 5 million additional FAMs.

Where there's a will there's a way. I remember my first basic there were tiny girls and boys pushing through by sheer force of will. Basic made them physically stronger, but they came in with the mental fortitude that was more important than anything else.

Reminds me of Iraq. Canada's pompousness at having "accurately predicted" there would be no WMDs in Iraq has always irked me. I know people make fun of Rumsfeld, but unknown unknowns are real. And this is one of those cases where you don't get to err on the side of willful ignorance just...

It's at least as bad as the Trump Russia scandal, yet the chasm in media treatment between the two is staggering.

As a kid playing vidyas I loved being highly tactical and to fully immerse myself in the roleplay. To think I could be paid to just keep doing the same thing? Obviously, it had to happen! Naturally, real life is not a game, but I think any reasonable person understands that and it's not really...

ABDUL I actually agree with you there. To the extent that your argument is : 1. Colin would not bring up his wife as an authority on Islam if he himself was a Muslim. 2. He brought up his wife BECAUSE she is muslim, yet 3. She clearly does not faithfully adhere to the tenets of Islam, thus 4...

But JAUKUS sounds like joculous, which is amusing.

Bananas are really weird when you think about it

How do you reconcile those two

Also I disagree completely with the notion that it is the Right that co-opted the word "woke". It was first used by American Blacks to express "black political consciousness" in America, until it was broadened by the Left in the second half of the 2010s, and, as the below Google Trends graph...

Supposedly from the GSS.

I think that's just a libertarian trope that is not, in fact, orthodox in conservatism writ large. You won't be cancelled in conservative circles if you don't repeat this mantra. If you push back against the idea that "diversity is our greatest strength" in progressive circles, however... good...
