You're conflating cyclical changes, which definitely occur, with changes since the industrial revolution. Looking at atmospheric CO2 levels (in things like ice caps) and using carbon dating, you can figure out what levels were in the time preceding the industrial revolution as well.

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
On a serious note: not sure if srs.
On an uber srs note: plz I can haz points?

sweden has established gender-based snow plow routes. the results are exactly how you'd expect.
sweden has established gender-based snow plow routes. the results are exactly how you'd expect.
...men are disproportionately favored by traditional snow-clearing routes that targeted major roads during snowstorms. Thus, women are neglected since they tend to use cycle paths and sidewalks more.
The solution? Initiate a city -wide effort to reallocate and reroute traditional snow plow operations to “equalize” the gender imbalance.
The result? Absolute bedlam as Stockholm’s transportation infrastructure shuts down, resulting in traffic jams, multiple injuries, and the failure of the city’s public transport system.
They say feminists suck at math, and that might explain why the plan to fight snow oppression failed so miserably despite adding an additional $270,000 to the Stockholm’s annual snow removal budget.
...
It’s now been a week since a massive snow storm struck Stockholm, offering plenty of time for the new feminist system to function properly. And yet, buses are still operating lethargic and over 1,500 users of public transportation are planning a lawsuit.
In spite of the epic failure, progressive politicians are doing everything in their power to rationalize the situation. The Swedish MP suggested that the problem wasn’t the plan itself, but rather its poor execution.

oh how timely, all the talk on climate change and food prices:

A group of researchers in Oxford University, England have suggested that imposing a massive tax on carbon intensive foods – specifically protein rich foods like meat and dairy – could help combat climate change.
...
This proposal, from a group of people who have probably never missed a meal in their lives, is totally obscene. High income countries often have a lot of poor people who would be hard hit by increases in the price of food.
Needlessly exacerbating the risk poor people don’t get enough to eat, especially children and pregnant mothers, who are especially vulnerable to adverse health impacts from lack of protein in their diet – if this ghastly proposal is ever implemented, future generations will look upon it as a crime against humanity.

It's okay to rape, if you intend to marry:

Turkish immigrants into EU are exactly the type of people those citizens don't want. they are deplorable people who dont want to live under the laws of the countries they are moving to, but want to spread this filth throughout the world -- all while the left helps them because "help".

Thousands of people, including women and children, marched Saturday in Istanbul against a controversial bill that would overturn men's convictions for child sex assault if they married their victim.

In America, a better solution would probably be along the lines of not having bonkers subsidies everywhere. Weird how the USDA gets to decide who gets subsidies etc while also deciding what balanced nutrition looks like. No conflict of interest here folks!

Seems like 'thousands of people' are against it and protesting it though. I'm sure that you understand that governments often try to enact a will that is different than that of the people?
Seems like you're arguing that many Turkish lawmakers shouldn't be allowed in the EU. I wouldn't disagree with that entirely.

The DOJ doesn't get it:
https://foramerica.org/2016/11/uncat...s-when-hiring/
It's pretty scary that the head of law enforcement would even allow non-citizens to enforce US law.

The Denver Sheriff Department will accept a penalty from the Department of Justice after a federal probe found it wrongly made U.S. citizenship a job requirement during a recent hiring spree.
The sheriff’s department — the biggest sheriff’s office in Colorado — will pay a $10,000 fine after it required applications for deputy sheriff jobs to be U.S. citizens when hiring from the beginning of 2015 through March 2016. The department went on a hiring spree of 200 deputies as part of its ongoing reform.
...
“Eliminating this unlawful citizenship requirement will help ensure that the Denver Sheriff Department hires the best and most qualified individuals to protect and serve. The entire community will benefit from these reforms,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Vanita Gupta, head of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, in a statement.
