Re: Realistically
Yea, 'cause I have kids I try to be a cock-eyed optimist but realistically we are doomed. My plan B is to die by the time it gets bad.
This is SO silly. Every such prophecy of doom by climate change has failed and yet you all go on expecting it to come based on the latest prophecy.
Lots of Americans are thinking about how to reduce the problem, and America is the most inventive when it comes to anything like that. There isn't the urgency the doomsayers keep predicting but we still want to do what we can to reduce the problem and Americans are in fact doing it, in various ways out of the public eye. I hear discussions of these things on the radio all the time. blaming America is just the usual Hate-America Leftist stuff, really because we ARE good, because we are successful. It's just envy that makes the sluggard nations hate us, and the American Leftists have no excuse.

Re: Realistically
Canada isn't what I had in mind as a sluggard nation, but you do raise an issue I've wondered about before. Canada has the same freedoms we have, right? Why isn't there as much inventiveness among you as there has traditionally been in America? Have you thought about it? Do you have an explanation? I mean America has produced lots of inventors who just plug away in their basements or garages or whatever and invent this or that. Probably lots more who aren't successful than are but still there's a mentality toward invention there. I don't really see why other free nations wouldn't promote the same inventiveness.
