most of the research into global warming and renewable energy is funded by large insurance companies, not so much governments. If the scientists were researching something else, chances are that'd be funded by the governments, so maybe you would like them to stay where they are? If you please, you can download a trial version of minitab, go to your favourite source of climate and atmospheric data and run your on correlation tests between carbon dioxide levels and temperature, and carbon dioxide levels and human-related carbon emissions. You will find you get p values that suggest temperature and carbon levels are strongly correlated. You will probably get a p value that suggests a significant correlation between carbon levels and human-related carbon emission, but this p value will strengthen if you take into account the human-related carbon-absorption destruction (such as logging). Alternatively you could find a scientific report - I suggest searching through the journal articles at your library for "correlation between temperature, green house gases and post-industrial revolution carbon emission rates" and simply read it. Still not convinced, you can head on over to google, and search "precautionary principle" and learn why we don't need such certainty to enforce that precautionary measures be taken. You can choose to panic if you please, but that's hardly necessary. Furthermore, buying real estate on high land and building a strong armoured wall around it is counted as panic.

Ok, so the parents opposing the statue because "oooh, it looks violent, i don't want my kids watching itchy and scratchy... i mean statues" is stupid, agreed. But a complete WTF to the wife?! Gun's can be used to save lives? I think i saw that in a movie one time, when this guy was falling down a hole, and this other guy came to save him, but couldn't reach, so he stuck out his gun and the guy grabbed the barrel and was saved? Ok, so get fucked, a guns purpose is to project a little bit of metal real fast, and that little bit of metal's purpose is to penetrate flesh and impact majorly in the complex biological system of a large animal. Id fucking est, to kill people (or animals, granted). That guy may have saved his one comrade, but it wasn't with a gun, that guy would've run his ass off or something like that, for christs sake, look what caused this guys death? a gun. and oh, what killed all those afghan solidiers? a gun. number two. a bonafide american hero? Which fucking americans did he save from violent persecuation by waving a stick with lead shooting out of it around in afghanistan!? Maybe they should depict the fallen soldier in a useless war as a "lest we forget" image. That guy did nothing to protect the freedom you and the citizens of Littleton so dearly love. number three. I live in Australia, and lo and behold, we managed to gain our independence from britain through a series of bloodless negotiations. Guns play no necessary part in insuring anyone's safety. and PS - no one is taking away your freedom any time soon, so you dont need to glorify any armed destruction in its name. Islamist extremist terrorists launch jihad, and thats evil, you 'good guys' launch 'operation: save our freedom' and you think its completely different.
