Well that effect is bullshit because abortions in these areas are the latest thing since sliced bread and crime keeps getting worse.

You might be mistaken about that.

But read the more recent analysis. They talk about how crime rates dropped first in states that legalized abortion first.

Seems like actually enforcing laws and locking up criminals, and arming the citizens works the best and has been proven to work the best.

Do you have any data to support that seeming? Arming citizens in particular seems counterintuitive given that some of those citizens are the criminals.

Yes. The carbon tax affects demand side. It does not affect supply side. It is designed not to affect supply side by giving exporters the tax back.

In this way Canada's carbon tax isn't good. But it's a brave government that gives up oil money. It's very seldom done. Norway has done it, but I'm not aware of any other country that has moved to cut supply.

https://www.house.mn.gov/hrd/pubs/deterrence.pdf

If a murderer spent 1 day in jail and then was free, I would bet there would be a lot more murders.

Right. The converse ... that reducing the consequences of crime, especially to the point of the punishment being trivial, doesn't increase crime, doesn't follow from the research that shows increasing the consequences of crime doesn't decrease crime.

The research isn't from thought experiments but by looking at the real impacts of real changes to the law. So you don't get as ridiculous edge cases as you might get in a thought experiment. It's certainly plausible and intuitive that the punishment needs to be enough to be some deterrent.

Presumably our coal was a better deal; they would have needed to pay more and in turn burn less.

They're not short of trade surplus. Their ability to pay isn't the limiting factor when it comes to their coal consumption.

Instead, if you believe in human-caused climate change

What do you mean "if". Are you suggesting someones made a mistake with CO2's emission spectrum, and it's not a greenhouse gas, and the measurements of the energy imbalance at the top of the atmosphere is thousands of measurement mistakes, and the observed warming is just a conspiracy of thermometer manufacturers and oceanographers?

Opinion varies

Our insignificant reductions were more than compensated for by the industry - and coal - that we sent to China.

China would have burned their own coal or Australia's if you hadn't sent it. The reduction in domestic emissions is a reduction in global emissions.

We didn't need any new technologies. Canada had nuclear. We were really good at that.

On a business by business level there are emission savings to be made, by choosing what process or energy source to utilize. Which is related to why per capita emissions dropped after the introduction of the tax

Support is not the same across Canada. And even when it was most Canadians, it was highest in Quebec.

What part of "the ground" are you giving the view from?

In no way is it popular,

This is correct. But support has dropped from 56% in 2021. From this article..

It's not innovative.

The things that make it innovative:

It distributes 90% of the tax back to households, making it broadly progressive.
It distributes 10% of the tax to fund environmental projects for small businesses, municipalities, hospitals, schools, and Indigenous communities, making it good for the small businesses or the environment.
Exporters get a rebate, so that the international competitiveness of Canadian businesses isn't compromised.

It's just another money grab that goes into general government revenues.

Are you really Canadian? No it doesn't:

The federal government distributes 90 per cent of the proceeds of the carbon tax to households in the form of a rebate, while 10 per cent are used to fund environmental projects for small businesses, municipalities, hospitals, schools, and Indigenous communities.

It doesn't help save the planet.

It looks a lot like it does: Here's a chart of Canada's greenhouse gas emissions per person from 2010 to 2022.

It's not wasted. It incentivises technologies and processes that are lower in carbon emissions. That reduced global warming and probably means that Hurricane Milton will hit with marginally lower wind speeds than if Canada hadn't been reducing emissions.

And it pays households which in 80% of cases gives them more disposable income, which in turn is broadly progressive by income group and boosts the economy.

ActuallyNot · 2024-10-08T00:24:50+00:00

That's not circular. The tax raises money from carbon emissions which incentivises technologies and processes that the country needs to move to.

It pays for a rebate to households, than compensates for the increase in prices, in 80% of cases.

Yes its money coming in and going out of government coffers, but its not circular, because it's not coming from exactly the same entity as it is going to. In this way it is like all tax.

If migrants are citizens, they're just the same economics as everyone else. If they're not, they're paying the same tax and are eligible for fewer payments than everyone else making more money available.

Furthermore, they're committing fewer crimes than natural born citizens, so they're using less policing and correction services resources than everyone else, freeing up police time to fight more other crimes.

The reason that I use that translation is that it is recommended by academic biblical scholars for its dedication to funding the most original source and translating with the most word for word accuracy.

It's not impossible that it hurts my conclusions coming out right, because accurate word for word translations leaves idioms and metaphors that will be missed without a knowledge of how these were used anciently.

But probably what you're objecting to is the stripping away of the distortions of the original that other common translations impose on the text because the translators wanted to influence the meaning to fit their beliefs about what it should say, or worse, to influence what Christians believe to have power over Christian society.

In this case it's the other way around, though isn't it?. The disinformation is causing the civil strife, and free speech is stopping anyone doing anything about it.

If you fritter away free speech with lawfare and bullshit interpretations of free speech to silence your opponents you will eventually just plunge the country into war.

I think spending limits by private entities on elections would make them much less ridiculous fundraising circuses, and would bring them back to nearer policy choices, while limiting the scope for corruption by politicians.

I think you would be further from plunging the country into war by reducing the divide, and the increasing view that you can't put country before party.

Temperature dependent sex determination is pretty common in reptiles. It is exhibited in all crocodilians, most turtles, and some lizards. You see it in lots of fish too.

The next ice age isn't coming soon, if at all: [O]ur analysis suggests that even in the absence of human perturbations no substantial build-up of ice sheets would occur within the next several thousand years and that the current interglacial would probably last for another 50,000 years. However, moderate anthropogenic cumulative CO2 emissions of 1,000 to 1,500 gigatonnes of carbon will postpone the next glacial inception by at least 100,000 years

You just dimiss everything that doesn't align with your opinion.

No, I just dismiss everything that doesn't align with the best evidence.

"Trust the science" right? Like with the covid/vaccine scam?😂

😂😂😂I saw your link to "Natural News" as a source.

Yes. Vaccines save lives. Vaccinated and boosted people die of covid about 5% of the rate of unvaccinated people.

But you go do your healing crystals and coffee enemas if thats what makes you at peace with your earth mother.

It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.

... You don't have a lot of self awareness do you?

The source of climate change denial was originally from Frederick Seitz and Fred Singer, who were approached by the fossil fuel industry through Seitz's George C. Marshall Institute to create resistance in the public to the science of climate change as they had done for the tobacco cancer link so effectively for the tobacco industry.

You've fallen for a well documented and direct program to fool people. And you're not even close to realizing you've been fooled.

Earth has been cooling for 4 thousand years https://x.com/iluminatibot/status/1683742720836403203

However the warming of the last 100 years is more than that cooling.

Climate change is a cult for gullible females like ActuallyNot so they can feel like they are part of something.

It's a field of science that extends into many fields of study, and is actively studied by hundreds of thousands of researchers across every kind of country and type of research institution.

Geologist, Professor Ian Plimer:

Hundreds of thousands of climate scientists, and 99.9% of them support the consensus. But you've found one who doesn't.

Do you think his jobs with mining companies might be something to do with why he's pushing an incorrect position rather than every other scientist in the world is member of a cult?

You didn't show me a link to a fake news site. You dismissed it because it was unfamiliar to your brainwashed female mind.

Here's the links again:

Factcheck scorecard, 100% false: https://www.politifact.com/personalities/naturalnewscom/

Wikidata, Natural News American far-right conspiracy theory and fake news website: https://m.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17070960

Can you find them now?

I don't care about your models or anything else you post

You linked to a fake news website claiming that climate predictions have failed. I have shown them to be increasingly accurate. That refutes your claim.

Your best response: "I don't care" 🤣

about the scam that is climate change formerly known as global warming.

Climate change refers to the changes in weather patterns as a consequence of global warming.

Both terms are in current scientific use. As you could see if you looked at the scholarly literature from this year and you search on the term "global warming".

I take it you're not very familiar with the published science. There's 27,000 papers with "global warming" in them from this year alone.

Some climate change predictions said the world would be destroyed by 2020! You are being scammed.

Destroyed huh? 🤣

Do you have a link to that prediction?

Just like that quote you are dug in and being stubborn about being fooled.

You need to meditate on that line for a bit.

Because I've refuted your points so far, and your actual argument is "I don't care".

FFS! A 62 year old man buys a property that can only take ten feet of sea level rise ... Therefore climate change must be a hoax!🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's a cult

No, it's science. The denialists have been pushing that lie, but if you read any science you realize how many fields touch climate change. This isn't a small subset of geology. There's many hundreds of thousands of papers from every ecology to optics to economics to geoscience out there.

The earth has been cooling for 4 thousand years

Yes. And in the last 100 its warmed to hotter than it was 4000 years ago.

Again:

Dominion voting machines produce a paper audit trail.

So your claim of "no oversight" is fictitious.

They have strong checks against voter fraud. Specifically multi-factor authentication.

So your claim of a perfect recipe for voter fraud is also fictitious.

And there it is. Your dumb female mind sees something it doesn't recognize and immediately dismisses it.

Not at all. But when I know the climate science, that I link you to, and that shows how well models have performed over the ages, I'm going to check whether your link is to an American far-right conspiracy theory and fake news website.

And so it is!🤣

I bet if it was a CNN article you'd eat that shit up.

I've linked you to an analysis of how models have performed since Sawyer in 1973. The early ones were a bit rougher, but even they have predicted the warming since then to within 30%.

It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.

I've shown you that the models are good, counter to your claim.

And I've shown you that your link was to a fake news site.

Is there something more we can do to convince you you've been fooled? Because I think there's enough evidence there.
