[Future !GUYX/6jp3w No.1741275]

I'm not sure what to discuss. I suppose we could talk about climate change.

#1. Is it generally understood in 2010 what role it plays in CNPA ideology?

#2. What were the leading proposals for correcting it? Was no thought given to possible consequences?

#3. The first cohabs have already been built unless I'm mistaken (CityCenter Vegas, Destiny USA, etc.) though they weren't called that until after the war. Does anyone you know live in a hab?

#4. What's the consensus on the proposal to cover major cities in nanopolymer domes as a means of protecting them from climate change? Supposedly they go back to the turn of the century; the earliest mentions I can see which are serious rather than fiction date to 2008.

From what I've read, Glenn Beck appears scheduled to make an announcement alongside Sarah Palin at an upcoming rally. This did not happen in the history I was taught.

Some time ago, one of you claimed to have emailed my threads to Glenn Beck. Maybe the culprit thought it would result in "lolz".

Vanillas are largely light skinned, though mostly due to the type of lighting used in habs and infrequent trips outside. It's still possible to guess at ancestry.

Nothing much, the rally was titled "Restoring Honor" and it was a hodgepodge of incoherent religious rambling. Beck received a lot of criticism for hosting the rally on the anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech. Apart from that, it was quite anticlimactic.

I was advised to read his website. He describes what sounded to me an awful lot like the potential outcome had the CNPA somehow won the war. His 'time machine' also contained components that I immediately recognized as central to entanglement transievers. His used a short range particle accelerator to inject electrons into a tight orbit around a microsingularity but it lacked the heim field generator, using some other means of producing a singularity that I didn't recognize and which seemed implausibly compact.

There are no leading proposals. It was assumed that all American citizens had the right to freedom of speech and association, and if they used their freedoms to form theocracy advocacy groups then so be it. Checks and balances in government and law enforcement agencies are assumed to be adequate roadblocks against extremist violence.

A few political scientists like Bob Altermeyer encouraged people to make friends with Bible Belt types. Since there was a strong correlation between toleration of homosexuals and knowing a homosexual personally, the idea is that their little bubble could be broken if you had the will to go over to the other side and pop it. However, this is not a very popular idea, and Christian extremism is not considered a threat by most Americans.

New generation materials make it not only workable but by far the cheapest solution to rising temperatures. It was enacted as a last minute adaptive measure when geoengineering efforts backfire and greatly accelerate climate change. There was time only to save major cities, with suburbs and small towns being abandoned en masse. Cohabs were seen as a way to reclaim lost land, building within the limits imposed by the heat. Large indoor structures turn out to be greatly more efficient to heat and cool than thousands of small, individual houses. Central planning permits the integration of solar, wind and other renewables as well as on-site vertical farming. The exterior, where not coated in solar collectors, is painted white to create the proper albedo.

I guess I should give myself some context.

So far it's the year 2315 and alot of the shit has hit the fan.
Global warming happend and it actually happend with very few precautions what so ever.
The water level rised and a few billion people had to move further in land or drown and this caused alot of tension.

The northern passage finally opened up and Canada, russia, and the UK along with Japan become some of the most powerfull countrys in the world.
Anyway, eventually things are going to escalade as the United states economy collapses and due to terrible leadership they finally "jump the gun" sort to speak and a cold war breaks out in 2200.
Mars having been explored and already you know of it's hubs, by this time has been actually somewhat settled and things are going well enough that mars declares it's independance from earth at around 2213.
At around year 2225 the cold war ends in nuclear holocaust.
Luckily though it did not end in the collapse of the global environment.
During the 2100 era, your time.
Alot of medical and biological advancements will be made including the cloning of extinct ice age animals. These animals will play a big part in supporting the environment of my time.

Also apple will team up with ford to mass produce the first sentient robots.
Also much of the world is now cloaked in a thicker atmosphere and the world has a climatic more comparable to "dinosaur times".
There hasn't been anything ice age like since the brief nuclear winter caused by world war 3.

By your standards they're toxic, but reprogenetic sea life was introduced species by species, as their un-altered equivalent died out. Eventually the oceanic ecosystem had been replaced with a new one, designed to be resistant to pollutants, a rising ph and so on.

The sea is presently farmed with robots. A handful of manned colonies exist, populated mainly by fanatics opposed to the autolabor economic model, anarchists, those sorts. Most live in what used to be luxury resorts, but a few historic colonies exist that were privately founded.

Domes are engineered to be self cooling by virtue of the way air flows within them. Electricity is mainly produced by chains of automated thorium reactors, heliostats, and geothermal plants.

There are a few "master factories" which produce the components used to build new autolabor compounds. They're irreplaceable. We use standardized modular components for as much as possible as it requires less complex robots to assemble but the specialized components can only be produced at these central, aging facilities. For obvious reason they are closely guarded. If they were destroyed, our way of life would be endangered.

Exploitation of the sea, and of the asteroid belt provided much of the additional resources needed, although we've also found more plentiful alternatives to materials that were increasingly scarce, bioplastics being a good example.
