You'd have to be quite ideologically blind to have missed what he was talking about. He's saying that we currently waste energy, and in the future we will be conserving energy, and on top of that in the future people will view our luxurious use of energy as wasteful. So what would you call...

Yes, this is how immunology works. Your body needs to recognize the protein. If it has never encountered the protein before, then it won't have a primed pump, which means you're being flooded with pathogen while your body tries to manufacture antibodies to cope with the multiplying pathogen...

I just told you...what is your problem anyways? For the purposes of gas solubility, the temperature change is insignificant compared to the change in partial pressure. Hence the ocean acidifies. Did you do the math? A change in temperature by 0.29% versus a change in atmospheric concentration...

What I posted wasn't meant to say that Slim is stupid. I've seen some stupid posts of his, and some intuitive posts. I think that he's often leaping without looking in these threads that I have been discussing with him. The video from you tube I thought is a good example, of what you describe...

It's not his fault he doesn't understand what a dynamic equilibrium is. He has not been properly educated, apparently. Justin Dunning and David Kruger described this phenomenon. A youtube user I've posted material from before has also done a good job of describing this phenomenon. He calls it...

The temperature change is small in magnitude compared to the change in partial pressure. Don't play stupid. Temperature change from 287.15 K to 288 K, versus an atmospheric change in concentration of the gas from 280 ppm to 390 ppm. You do the math. Which one is the larger change? :roll:

Monetary assistance would be giving you cash to build something. A portion of the costs then would be paid for. A tax break is financial assistance. You're not being paid cash to build something, but the returns you get from the asset are taxed less, so you make more income on the investment...

A tax break isn't direct monetary assistance, it's financial assistance. That is a subsidy by your own definition you posted here you clown. As to a tax break and a down payment, that's stupid. Whatever point you're trying to make you're failing to do so.

I didn't see your question, but I already covered this: The change in temperature is small. The partial pressure change in carbon dioxide is large, therefore more carbon dioxide goes into the water. For your education: Solubility of gases in liquids- Henry's Law

I'd never heard of those before. Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada supports them, and why not: Exploration expenditures in Canada have risen from approximately $300 million in the late 1990s to an estimated $1.722 billion in 2006, the highest total for exploration and...

It's only pointless because you can't understand that a tax break is financial assistance. That would be clause 2 for those who pay attention to what they type, or rather cut and paste. I can deconstruct the definition further for you if you like. Financial- of or relating to finance...

The problem of yours I refer to is what is and is not a subsidy. The subsidies to renewables are tax credits. So if that's your beef, then renewables get very few subsidies, and the R&D expenditures are mostly in fossil energy sources. A tax break is financial assistance. That is a subsidy...

I initially said: Why do you want to confine it to something else? From your own definition, a subsidy is a form of monetary or financial assistance. Tax incentives are monetary and financial assistance. A tax credit is used by financial planners when deciding which competing option to choose...

So name as many as you can that are used to generate electricity.

So then you see how mature industries also receive subsidies?

Did you read the link or not? I give links when asked for, or for topics that might not be so intuitive for readers here, but in this case it's fairly easy to check my comment. It's not like energy subsidies are some arcane topic that is hidden in the back alley's of the internet... Anyways...

You could try googling, but in case you can't do that, you can start here: http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/servicerpt/subsidy2/pdf/execsum.pdf Just enter "coal subsidies" or "oil subsidies" or "energy subsidies" or any other source of energy you might like to inquire about into the search bar.

My source is commercial fishing, marine biology, etc. How can you expect to show that subsea volcanoes are decreasing the pH of surface waters without destroying all of the calcifiers from the sea floor up first? It makes no sense. Got your local library and read this article: Oceanography...

It's just more throwing spaghetti at the wall, hoping something sticks.

Oil, gas, coal, nuclear...all are mature industries which still receive subsidies.
