  to each his own, Green Engineer

  Well, you are entitled to you opinion of Inhofe. I just think that name calling is bad form and lowers the level of discussion to mudslinging. Be assured that your worst opinions of Inhofe are a fraction of mine concerning Boxer.On Even by his standards, this was pathetic posted 2 years, 8 months ago 38 Responses

  What do you know?

  I guess you live out there somewhere in a beautiful solar paneled house, raising chickens, and shooting the occasional game. Fine, sounds nice. But look around you. Most of the world does not, and cannot live like that. It is easy to say that an infrastructure is not coherent. But infrastructures come together bit by bit, over time. The internet infrastructure could be much better, but we need to use what we have because to tear it up and start from scratch is impossible.

  In France, only one thing allowed this country to industrialize in the 1970s and that is nuclear power. Without it, France is back to dams, and gas, and coat heating in the cities. Back to an agrarian economy.

  Policy making involves realistic choices, not pie in the sky. And leaders need to lead by example. Gore and Leonardo de Caprio (et al) do not do that.On Even by his standards, this was pathetic posted 2 years, 8 months ago 38 Responses

  humor, or lack of it

  Green Engineer,

  Calling someone an idiot is not humor. Nor does it highlight the absurdies of one's opponent. Name calling is not wit. It seems your favorite words are "stupidity" and "idiot". You don't seem (and I use the same plural you that "you" (singular) have been using when saying "we") ... YOU (plural) don't seem to have a whit of wit around here. So stop talking about the fine old traditions of American politics, unless you can serve some up. Besides, France has the same tradition, as I imagine so many cultures do.

  "What they hell do you care, anyway?  You don't have to live with the (direct) consequences of his stupidity."

  That is an odd point of view considering we are talking about global problems and global solutions.

  PS: I am an American so as well aware as you I presume about American traditions.On Even by his standards, this was pathetic posted 2 years, 8 months ago 38 Responses

  Green Engineer

  Hey, what do you know anyway? Quite little I am sure about climate science, or about economics, or policy-making. I guess you are an expert idiot-detector.

  PS: Buzz words like "cherry picked" are tired. They don't make you sound smart anymore, just hackneyed.

  PSS: Making up words like "hacktastic" (what is that supposed to mean anyway?) is poor style. Using it more than once is a serious faux pas.On Even by his standards, this was pathetic posted 2 years, 8 months ago 38 Responses
