Heavy metals in the oceans is a far greater problem than carbon dioxide emissions, but that's completely lost in all the AGW bullshit.

We have local governments. By going with the smallest level of applicable government, you have the greatest representation.

If the road stays within the boundaries of community A, then it's only A's business. If it goes across the state/province, then the state/provincial government should take care of it.

How many times do I need to repeat that I am ECONOMICALLY CENTRIST?

1. Taxation without representation is theft. Why should someone living in Alberta have to pay for a bridge built in Quebec? The Albertan has no say in it, and that's BULLSHIT.

2. Neo-liberals are very selective about freedoms. When was the last time you saw a pro-gun neo-liberal party?

You *DO* know the difference between "Libertarian" and "libertarian", right? Upper/lower case is important when it comes to politics.

There is such a thing as left-libertarianism.

But no, you faggots are too busy fantasizing about "the great exodus" to even bother seeing if one is really needed.

It constantly amazes me how such smart people can be so stupid.

I mean, fuck. We're warring over the damn stuff. Entire economies run off the assumption that we're rapidly burning through all of the past life on Earth.

You guys jump to conclusion far too quickly.

The implication was, if there are methods of making hydrocarbons other than decaying carbon based lifeforms, then we need to find out what they are, rather than spending all of our time in a circle jerk about SUPPOSEDLY finite ressources. If we can produce natural gasses, for instance, at a fixed rate, then everyone will be better off.

Pull your head out of ass and stop looking down at people based on assumptions.

That depends.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at 13, and I still grew 6 feet tall.

Titan, Saturn's largest moon, has hundreds of times more liquid hydrocarbons than Earth.

This proves one of two things: Either there is, or has beem, life in places other than Earth.

OR, that hydrocarbons are not made by decaying organic matter.

Picture unrelated.

Property rights are an extension of the right to one's own life.

Life is measured in time. If you decide to spend your time doing making something, it can be said to be the product of your life. THAT is why it has value.

It sounded very sarcastic to me.

>>1606654

Perhaps.

If you're right and people would fuck things up, we end up just as boned as we would be under an economic or governmental oligarchy. If I'm right and people, then we have a real shot at making this a better world.

And for all you communists on /sci/, you know that you CAN have your own little commune in a libertarian world, right? And if you have any surplus, I don't mind trading with a commune, as long as I'm not forced to be part of it. The opposite is NOT true.

If people DIDN'T somehow feel responsibility to the world they live in, if they DIDN'T want to do the right thing, then they wouldn't GIVE A FUCK about anthropogenic global warming.

If you stop filling their heads with lies, people will make the right choice for themselves and be very vocal about it.
