  1.  @jamesholmstrom5837  What? I mean I agree with him, I just wanted to correct his statement a bit. And, of course, we are not savages, so I want to remind him to get a good night's rest.

  2. You just confused the House with Congress, which is both the House and Senate. Foreigners...

  3.  @Guesswho-x4o  Fair enough. Remember to get plenty of rest friend.

  4. Because Democracy around the world is usually enforced by the US military.

  6.  King Jon Targaryen I  The world is not static. We're actually in a relatively cold period of Earth's history, a left-over of the previous glaciation. You cannot turn back what is already done, unless you advocate a new ice age. Instead, we should be focusing about adapting and using warming to our benefit. As permafrost melts, more of Siberia and Alaska will be opened up to farming. In fact, large swaths of farmland in the Midwest have meant more rain. Rising sea levels can be used for tidal power, where the back and forth of tides turns a generator. Increased pandemics are not a phenomenon associated with global warming. Instead, it is more heavily influenced by globalism and the poor food and health standards in the developing world, plus increasing population.

  7.  King Jon Targaryen I  Population, or more specifically, population density, has a lot to do with a pandemic. If people are in close proximity to each other, disease spreads rapidly. The Bubonic plague was able to spread by the close proximity of people to each other (crowded in shanty homes) and poor sanitary conditions. It's global spread was also helped by the marauding mongol armies. I never said the Earth was cooling, I said we were in a relatively cool time compared to geological history. Indeed, things are bound to warm up anyway as the sun brightens and expands. Globalism is not something recent. At least, what is widely accepted as globalism. Globalism is the movement of goods from a country that produces it (China or India) to a purchasing country (Britain or the US). This is a recent occurrence due to the primacy of the US Navy, which is quick to crack down on piracy, and vastly improved communications. The problem with this is that people are also moving too, due to multinational countries. An American company, say Tesla, has factories and offices in China, where they produce their goods (because of lower labor costs). Of course, Tesla also has offices and their HQ in the US, so they send people out to China and vise versa to keep things connected. This allows disease to spread, because China often has worse sanitation standards than the US, so they pick up a bug and transport it to the US. They spread it around, and someone catches it and takes it back to say, Italy. I don't know where your rant about capitalism comes from, but it is impossible to defend globalism while criticize capitalism. Globalism is in part because labor costs have gotten too expensive in Western countries (the US and Britain) due to safety regulations and healthcare benefits, so it was outsourced to countries that lack these, like China or Vietnam. Coincidentally, these countries have poorer healthcare and sanitation standards. As for feeding the world, why should the US and other Western countries do so? Eugenics and forced sterilization? Woah buddy, that's pretty extreme. I mean, why do that when practicing basic hygiene can do wonders?

  8.  @vantastic9367  US emissions are actually decreasing. China's are actually increasing. Also, Abu Dabbi is apart of the UAE.

  9.  @vantastic9367  That is technically equivalent to saying "Texas and all of the United States". Not wrong, just odd. Though, I don't know why that harsh word. I never said I disagreed with what you said. In fact, I find it quite ironic that Al Jazeera, a Qatari-based news outlet, advocates for the West to cut back on emissions to prevent global warming (which they are already doing) yet makes a fortune selling oil, and especially natural gas to China and Japan.

  10.  @vantastic9367  Understandable. Though, oil is not forever, and the UAE have been taking steps to wean themselves from oil, most by investing heavily in tourism, finance, and shipping. The fact that they are in the middle of a desert is surely going to bite them in the ass though. Perhaps climate change could help that, as I'm sure they have nothing to lose.
