This is one of the things that made Nixon fire Alvin Weinberg. He was hardly a foil hat kind of guy.

Yes that was originally the problem, and one reason Nixon was against thorium based reactors. There is debate about the bomb proof nature of thorium. Some British scientists say they can make a bomb with it:

Thorium nukes don’t need to be renewable, it’s everywhere. It’s really impressive stuff that was started in the 1960’s and then dropped because of politics and money (yay president Nixon). Here’s a mishmash of meetings and talks that do a great job explaining it:

It’s something to do with aliens, the Illuminati, genetic manipulation, and a new prototype flavor of shake-n-bake.

Realistically if immigrants in this country had decent jobs to pay taxes on there would be less complaining about immigration. 2birds 1stone?

Not sure about that. If Apple gets money from government to bring the factory to the US then it might not matter at all.

Manufacturing in the US? You mean about 300 jobs and tens of thousands of robots.

That’s weird. I thought the government was working on the premise that everyone is a terrorist and everything is a WMD.

No, the current fad is to go backwards instead of forwards. To rehash the old instead of coming up with new things.

So much lens flare. I think I’m going to wear sunglasses when I watch this.

It certainly would be more interesting if they adjusted for hate based on population. Still, California has a shit ton of people, and the hate is pretty low.

Why don’t they rehire them and put them to work to fix this problem?

Why doesn’t Nokia put all their fired workers to work? They could make these Apps instead of begging others to do it.

Did I say we weren’t? I said CO2 isn’t the real concern.

Comment
I do understand exactly what ppm means (parts per million). It’s very hard to believe that a CO2 increase of ~82ppm would have any measurable impact. Other gasses would be much more likely to worry me. I certainly do not know more than real scientists, but common knowledge I gained in my college chemistry classes makes me question the claim that CO2 levels play any measurable part in temperature change. There are many other factors I would be much more worried about.

So what’s the highest ppm Earth ever had while sustaining widespread life? Does the increase of CO2 from 317ppm to almost 400ppm mathematically correlate to the temperature increase we see today? Has anyone considered the global dynamo and gravity cycles of the moon affecting it? Has anyone considered waste heat from factories/coal/cars/electronics going into the air and heating up the planet? Is a delta ~83ppm of CO2 really that significant so as to cause this measurable warming?

Sony announced plans Monday to offer two packages when the system goes on sale this fall. A PS3 with a 20 GB hard drive will cost consumers $499. Those wanting a larger, 60 GB hard drive will pay $599. The $499 version will also lack several features found in the more expensive one.
