If the reason you can't demonstrate your predictions are true is the exact same reason why a psychic can't demonstrate the truth of his prediction that the Earth will be entering a higher dimensional vibrational plane in a century or so as told to him by Zenthar the Ultraspirit... ...you're...

First you declare your indignation that I'd presume to think how you live... then you turn around and just make assumptions about the way I live. There's that completely oblivious sense of irony you have, again. For the record, there is no chance in hell that your carbon footprint would be 10...

I do, actually. It's you who doesn't. You seem to think that all it takes is installing some solar panels on your roof and eating organic. That won't even make a dent. If we want to become a sustainable species, we're either going to need to reach a higher level of technological development, or...

Again, there's that irony. Passive aggressive much? Also, there's that irony again. Do you imagine we're incapable of building them without nuclear power? We're a net exporter of energy. Our energy consumption will not increase particularly drastically by upgrading our flood defenses. The...

Really? A post ago you were accusing me of not knowing what was happening at this event, now you're telling me *you* don't know what's happening there...

One would expect a well educated individual to know better than to assume their education level exceeds that of someone they don't know anything about. One would also expect such an individual to recognize the limits of their own education. But then again, education is no substitute for...

I don't think you understand the terminology you're using, if you're applying them to *me*. Do you know how little this actually amounts to? The average person living within a 50 mile radius of a nuclear power will receive only 0.1 μSv a year. That's 2600 times LESS than the dose they receive...

You really don't want to use this argument, because you really don't 'use very little power'. Not unless you: Produce all the food/liquid you consume yourself. Built your own house as well as all the components that went into its construction. Produced all your own clothes and the materials to...

Whether they came from Greenpeace or not is irrelevant; what's relevant is 1) that there is by no means a *consensus* that there's been or even will be that many cancer deaths from Chernobyl; 2) that there are quite credible independent reports that list figures that aren't even a tenth of your...

Off topic, and also kind of on-topic: but isn't the Swedish 'neger' just the same as the Dutch 'neger', which simply means black person? The word has traditionally just been a neutral descriptive term (probably originating with the Spanish/Portugese term for the color black); there's other words...

Or perhaps it's you who hasn't really studied the subject very well. Even factoring in all of the nuclear accidents that have happened, nuclear power is still both cleaner and *safer* than fossil fuels. The average nuclear power plant actually puts out a lot less radiation into the environment...

That's not really that odd. The Netherlands is much the same way. The elites tend to be more liberal than the masses; though I wouldn't say the masses are truly conservative as much as they are less inclined to look past the immediate concerns of themselves and those around them. Advancing the...

And it hasn't. You're looking at a snapshotted frame of a whole taken during a major humanitarian crisis, and then as if you were completely and utterly incapable of reasoning beyond the level of average redneck/chav/tokkie/insert-national-equivalent-term, blindly assume that the long-term trend...

Which is nowhere near as relevant as you think. Adding a couple of million people to the mix doesn't significantly alter the long-term projections. You're not even talking about a single percentage point difference. Migration patterns are always in flux, making short term predictions difficult...

I really shouldn't have to provide something that has been linked in these types of threads many times before and which is indeed so obvious that it's literally the first result you'd get on google when searching for muslim population projections of Europe. But for those who need to have...
