In Europe and America there's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
that exxon mobil's mission begets
Tony the tiger says everything is great
and that change can wait
It'd be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Republicans love their children too

How can I say my little boy from Halliburton's deadly toy?
There is no monopoly on common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology, regardless of ideology.
Believe me when I say to you,
I hope the Republicans love their children too.

There is no historical precedent
For our horrible president
he doesn't believe in climate change
science just really ain't his thang
Mr. Trump says we'll drill for you
I don't subscribe to his point of view
Believe me when I say to you,
I hope the Republicans love their Children too.

It appears there will be show trials.

Speaking of overcharging, the main charge against the Malheur occupiers carries a six year max sentence, while these peeps are looking at 10. Like all show trials, the government will attempt to demonize alleged actions taken by different people, in different places, at different times, in an attempt to railroad some peeps into prison, ruin lives, and send an ice-cold chilling message.

Great ****ing thread. Been thinking a lot over the last few weeks about ways to make a purposeful impact and become more socially active in the face of this impending disaster. The masses of people in Boston and around the world was the tipping point for me to put thoughts into action and seek out local organizations to give my time to. Nice work in here! Glad I went against by better judgement to see what was brewing over here in the politard forum


Boston was lit. I'm a recent transplant to the city from the midwest and being among the waves of people that descended on the Commons throughout the morning is something I'll never forget. Would do again

Followed!

Get Involved, Internet: Help this raw onion get more Twitter followers than Donald Trump

OH NO HE DI'IN'T

Without even looking, I'm going to say someone unironically replied with "How do you know? Were you there?"

First it was global cooling. Now global warming. Make up your mind scientists!

The tweets have been deleted. Or, more appropriately, censored. This is seriously ****ed up.

****ing ridiculous.

What were the tweets?

Some more background on infamous rogue cop P.Newsham...

Some other tidbits from the same story. First, some more reporting about what happened inside the kettle...

Then of course, we got time travel. Common knowledge is the mass arrests were an exigent reaction to that limo burning. This requires to trips in that magical DeLorean... one to retcon the limo, the other to erase the hour+ folks were kettled.

Just a thought, but a possible tactic for obstructing the Keystone Pipeline might be protesting and trying to block any use of non-US steel. Not only will Trump's demand for US steel probably make the project uneconomical, it's a violation of GATT/WTO agreements and would result at least in more time in court.

Wait how does burning one gallon of gas put 20lbs of CO2 in the atmosphere? Is that including all the energy expended in extracting, refining and transporting the gas as well?

I'm not endorsing this statistic or rejecting it, just explaining.

It doesn't exactly "put" that much CO2 in the atmosphere. Gasoline is a hydrocarbon: hydrogen and carbon. When burned the hydrogen and carbon separate and the carbon combines with oxygen from the atmosphere to make CO2 (and other stuff).

But a gallon of water is about 8 lbs, and gasoline is lighter than water. Furthermore, like you note, gasoline isn't all carbon. For about a 2:1 ratio of hydrogen to carbon on average, that would be about a 6:1 ratio of the contribution to the mass from carbon compared to hydrogen. So, you'd only expect about 6-7ish lbs per gallon from nothing but carbon atoms. Unless they're going with lbs of CO2? Because that would be about 2.7 lbs of O2/lb carbon, so that's another 16 lbs, so I guess we're pretty much to 20 then.

Yes. lbs of CO2.

2 oxygen atoms from the atmosphere for (almost) every carbon atom.

gotcha, makes more sense now

I scienced it out and 1 gal of octane should yield 18lb of CO2.

/Science, bitches

Scientists will be rounded up in Wave 3. Check your local docket for camp location.

This is from two days ago (so, before the Badlands thing) and is still there, and they're still using Twitter. Weird.

Stolen from another thread.
