Public cares about man-made climate change. Public also doesn't believe in man-made climate change.
Believing in climate change means that you have agree and put up with counter-measures. Higher energy costs such as car fuel to discourage unnecessary traveling. Higher product costs because of measures required during manufacturing to reduce emissions and environmental damage, environmentally friendly companies can be more expensive to run. It's easier for people to say climate change is nonsense and they should just ignore it if they are immediately feeling the pain of change.

Public is anti-nuclear. Public doesn't know what nuclear means.
The only experience many people have with anything nuclear are Chernobyl, Stalker, Fallout, Hiroshima (Nagasaki doesn't exist), Fukushima and anti-nuclear protest groups. This is disappointing and troubling. They don't know what a nuclear reactor really is nevermind understanding the differences between old and new models. Fukushima could not have happened in a newer reactor.

It's a clusterfuck of bad information being chewed up and spat out into worse information to be swallowed by people who don't know how to process this information in the first place.

If your personality is dependent on the exact layout and organisation of your brain molecules you will never be able to upload your consciousness into a computer or new host body without destroying your 'self'. You will never live forever.

YOU DONE THOUGHT WRONG.

Pure science, or go home. Advance the human species, or you are weighing us down!

You would need to have a really powerful lazer so you could shoot faster light out of it, and you could do femtosecond pulses with gradual ramp-up in power such that when the light reaches alpha centurai all of the light that's been emitted over the course of 4.6 billion light-years (because alpha century is 4.6 light years away, it takes 4.6 billion years for laser to get to it) is coalessed into the span of a femtosecond pulse at the surface of alpha century and the star receives all of that extra energy and becomes voltron.
