Gosh darn it. 500 posts behind.

I got a glimpse. What exactly were the Floridians busted for? Did the report come from credible news or was it Fox or Facebook?

Most people who get in trouble do so for not following rules like building codes. Going off the grid is not against the law but dumping your poop into the water table is.

GMO seed is owned by the inventor. Saving seed is tantamount to mass producing DVDs and selling them.

If you want the benefits of the yields of GMO then follow the law. If you want to save seed then grow lower yielding standard varieties.

You can always sell it at a higher price to chicken fanciers who think that GMO corn will will produce two headed chicks.

You could also just grow corn to sell seed to those anti-GMO farmers that forgot to save their own.

Scientists in this section have made comments that it is not possible to project global climate accurately enough to justify the ranges projected for temperature and sea-level rise over the next century. They may not conclude specifically that the current IPCC projections are either too high or too low, but that the projections are likely to be inaccurate due to inadequacies of current global climate modeling.

Scientists arguing that global warming will have few negative consequences

Scientists in this section have made comments that projected rising temperatures will be of little impact or a net positive for human society and/or the Earth's environment. Their views on climate change are usually described in more detail in their biographical articles.

Sent this to FB for those who love to research.

History tells us that the earth has cooled and warmed but even if part of it is because of us humans raping this land then we need to take responsibility.

The initiatives have given us better fuel efficiency in combuste engines, planes and even light bulbs.

I am all for using renewable resources and those that are not renewable at a more efficient rate.

At the height of high tide at Christmas the water laps my fence. There is just a three inch grade to the bottom of my steps 100 ft inland.

@Yakima kid

And

@lindaB220

You forgot the list of those who think humans do contribute to global warming.

You forgot the list of those who think humans do contribute to global warming.

This was just a list of the "other side".

I'm open to both options.

Any idea who is funding their research?

 

[hennible]

Same people that invented sandwiches

 

[bamadude]

Probably the same idiots who oppose cannabis and "hemp".

It does remind me of tobacco research in the 1960s

That's more likely than the Duke of Sandwich.
