Complete and utter non-sequitur but I'll humour you.

I never understood American magical thinking that blames Europe for US military spending. In the end, if you want to cut military spending, you can.

Regardless, you're the hegemon. I don't accept that you don't benefit from that position.

That's pure conjecture. Even though this forums is anonymous, I would still be embarrassed to write such baseless nonsense.

OK but not wanting our personal records to be arbitrarily sized by the US government is very reasonable. Your government made a law that lets it spy on us... that's your problem.

If you cared about your fellow citizens, you could have the same. But judging by the hordes of mentally ill people wandering aimlessly around your cities harassing strangers (including visitors such as myself)—you don't.

>I urge anyone actually interested in understanding the subject to buy a CO2 meter and measure this concentration around the house, where you work, in your car, at friends and family homes, etc. You will be absolutely astounded when you learn that you, today, live in 600 to 1000 ppm (or more) CO2 air concentration. I own five different devices.

Your thinking sucks. If you honestly can't see the problem with your little experiment here then it really is a waste of time dealing with you. Only unthinking cult member here is you.

The climate is very complex, yes, that's right. Its complexity has no bearing on whether or not climate change is real or whether or not we can do anything about it. OP's central thesis, that because the Earth's climate has apparently changed slowly in the past (before an industrialised species existed on the planet), that we cannot possibly change it quickly now, really makes no sense at all.

And the OP's comically haughty attitude of "climate change deniers and believers are literally just as stupid as each other" is simply pathetic.

Also, points to you for bringing US monetary policy into a conversation on climate change... somehow.

Who is stopping you from getting married then? Unless you're being so obnoxious as to say, you ackshully need the permission of the person you're getting married to, which if you're remotely sensible is a given in this conversation?

That's not true at all. In some states a 13 year old can get married if the have court approval (vanishingly unlikely but besides the point), but that contradicts your original flagrantly ridiculous claim that "all teenagers are old enough to marry". All 18 year olds are old enough to get married, they don't need any permission. Some 16 year olds are if they have permission, but 16 year olds are not in general old enough to get married if they need permission. So your claim was wrong I am afraid to have to break to you.
