> and we definitely need to be careful that we handle the transition without screwing people over. Well we’re certifiably not going that . No need to wait decades to look at the recent data. London can’t even work out how to properly ventilate their underground rail network. The solution is obvious: built nuclear power and refrigeration (heat pumps). Where it’s too cold either nuclear and heat pumps and / or district…

> Well we’re certifiably not doing that. Don't disagree with you there. > London can’t even work out how to properly ventilate their underground rail network. This seems unrelated. It's not an energy problem: it's a problem with lack of space in the tunnels and lack of places to build ventilation shafts due to the issue not being considered 100 years ago when the tunnels were built. > Or people can melt in the summer…

London’s tube system had an eminent domain, technology, political will problem. It’s entirely fixable.

Cold weather kills more people than hot weather. By a huge margin.

People frequently move from cooler areas to areas that have comparatively hotter climates than even the worst (completely fabricated) global warming predictions.

But they rarely do the opposite.

It's not a majority at all. it's a manipulating minority.

I don't think "manipulating" is valid. A bit over a third voted one way, a bit under a third voted another, and a third didn't vote. The third that didn't vote was saying "sure, whatever".

The third that didn't vote does not exist. The net result was roughly 50/50.

Now, maybe this third will start to exist and vote if they either wake up, are seriously hit financially or someone annoys them enough.

Until then they decided to erase themselves from any decision making and if the world was fair they , would not have the right to any comment regarding whatever is related to their country.

“People are irrational, emotion-driven, and trapped by rigid mental models.” ... of course they are ... everyone except you toomuchtodo :) ..

The drugs I take inhibit most, if not all, of any emotions I might have, leaving me aggressively data driven by evidence, observations, data, and facts. I am a complex expert system with a pulse.
