Low government wages? I always thought the government paid fairly well, benefits and nearly unfireable.
Elon Musk? Thought he was an entrepreneur, not a government employee.
Price a Tesla? No need. My little Hyundai works just fine. Besides, I don't think I could afford a new Tesla.
But, what do I know? (rhetorical questio. No need to answer and hurt my little feelings.)

"Are you being serious?"


No kidding!

Even these days when I think I can't be any more amazed at the craziness/lying/gullibility/hypocrisy/Etc. that currently exists, along comes something like that showing me the bottom - hasn't even been close to being reached yet. lol

That's why I said "comparatively." The comparison being in response to the assertion made regarding an "agenda" (please reread posts made prior to mine) between government scientists/agencies and oil company executives/other wealthy stakeholders in fossil fuel sales/production. I am comfortable sticking with what I see as a very valid comparison of whom has the larger incentive.

I don't think the word "evacuate" was in the dictionary back then. What I'm getting at is..........It was a totally different time and they did not have the technology we have today to track storms and warn the population who is in the path of the storm. Like comparing apples to oranges.

For your piece of mind, I did go back and re-read your post in conjunction with the posts you were responding to. I can see why you failed to see I was simply being facetious and having fun with the post I responded to and taking it out of context. You, along with others, are debating a serious subject. Enjoy the debate, by all means, but remember this is TOTV and it is unlikely that any minds or opinions will be changed. Don't let debates here raise your BP.

The .gif is called a meme. The specific .gif is a snippet of a scene from Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones is/was a fantasy series, based on a book by George R. R. Martin of the same name.

The .gif is appropriately used to inject a touch of sarcastic, wry humor into the thread. The appropriate response would be to nod with a slight smirk on the corner of your lips.

The actors married in real life. The ones that played Jon Snow and his captor, Ygritte.

Gotcha, kewl and you're probably correct on changing any opinions. However, I've personally had my opinion changed when someone provided legitimate/verifiable facts and a good argument on why my initial viewpoint/opinion was incorrect/incomplete, so I keep hoping there might be others like that out there. I also appreciate, and is the reason I tried not to come across snarky, on the even-keeled way you wrote your post - so thanks for that. Take care, good luck and I definitely don't let some of the crazies/myopic/cult-driven here...raise my BP. lol

P.S. For those who are truly open-minded, I challenge you to watch the Netflix documentary "Chasing Coral" and then honestly say afterward, that you weren't emotionally affected or are not now - very concerned about climate change.

Both of the actors also have real life connections to UK royalty and/history.

I had heard that a lot of the coral reefs are dying.

If you have Netflix, you really need to watch it. It's not just that they're dying, it is the astounding breadth and speed at which it is happening and how they are so important to the overall ecosystem.

And yes, I'm sure there will be the usual suspects who will comment that they weren't emotionally affected by the scientific documentary and/or think there is nothing we can do about it anyway.

In fact, I have a mental list of those that I would bet will say exactly such - so I do hope they don't disappoint. LOL

Exactly. Not a valid comparison. In today's world, we have so much advance warning, and the ability to communicate to the public the need to evacuate. We have automobiles that move faster than horseback, and planes/trains, etc. to move people more quickly as well. At that time, it was probably all word of mouth, at the last minute, when it was too late.

After all, if it's on Netflix, it must be true

PS: Don't look up, the sky is falling

60 minutes had a story on it a few weeks ago and seem to be on the level but not an ecoscientist so not entirely sure if they were totally objective in this case.
