In a new survey, 98 percent of motorists who own cellphones and text regularly said they were aware of the dangers, yet three-quarters of them admitted to texting while driving, despite laws against it in some states. Two-thirds said they have read text messages while stopped at a red light or stop sign, while more than a quarter said they have sent texts while driving.

#FossilFuels

#ClimateChange

The U.N.'s panel on climate science found that emissions, mainly from the burning of fossil fuels, may need to drop to zero by the end of this century for the world to have a decent chance of keeping the temperature rise below a level that many consider dangerous.

+Erasmus Geotrope You're laughing at me? Hey, you're the idiot who just set himself up to win a dick sucking contest by default. I'm the one with a girl next to me.

You're committing the Straw Man fallacy in stating that I don't know the sun is in a plasma state. I merely meant to suggest the sun behaves like a liquid, exhibiting differential rotation and bulging at the equator, and that is 100% true, moron. You need to know more than just the names of the 4 states of matter, you need to know how matter behaves in that state, and hydrogen behaves and circulates much like a liquid in the sun despite the fact that it is in a plasma state.

Your figures are bullshit. Natural emissions are a tiny fraction of human input, and that includes volcanoes.

The only one spewing argumentum ad auctoritate is you, and you're doing it in the face of mountains of scientific evidence. You do not understand science better than 97% of scientists. You are nothing more than a pseudointellectual poser who is too chickenshit to sit down with me and take a supervised IQ test.

You're all talk.

This is the AP site, there is more than one news story of the day. I am sure the elections for all the difference they won't make, will be part of the news.

Now the republicans have purchased the house and senate, hopefully they can do all the things they have said they can do. I am not holding my breath by any means. I see no difference in democrats or republicans when it comes to party politics. As groups they are equally useless.

"You get older, you get sick, you start getting diseases, your bones stop working as well as they used to and you're presented with this pharmacopoeia of different drugs that you have to take just to get through the day," said Ben Pollara, who leads United for Care, the pro-Amendment 2 campaign. "To the extent that seniors can use marijuana to supplement or replace any of those drugs I think is a good thing."
