Durban Climate Change Conference 2011
- Thread starter mentalfloss
- Start date
Oh is a movement the same thing as a conference now? Climate change education has made people aware, and policies are changing, slowly...too slow. MF where's that post-moving image? :lol:
Not anymore. It's been officially sidelined. Global Warming wasn't provable but Climate Change is.
Who is ****ing with your head? Scientists known as psychologiststs?
Where has it been officially sidelined?
What does policy have to do with the the truth-value of evolution?
You're a prime example as to why. In this very thread you talk about taxing and redistribution of wealth to under developed nations.
I went to US schools and I was never taught creation. I was taught evolution though.
I know the significance of the year, but it's still just a year. There is no teeth to force Canada to pay $19 Billion nor a means to punish them if they refuse to pay. They'll gnash their teeth but there is no bite.
That doesn't mean I fully support it. Emissions reductions are the most important step, but again, this is policy - which is a response to the science.
They don't have to pay $19 Billion.
Neurolinguistics is the study of the neural mechanisms in the human brain that control the comprehension, production, and acquisition of language. As an interdisciplinary field, neurolinguistics draws methodology and theory from fields such as neuroscience, linguistics, cognitive science, neurobiology, communication disorders, neuropsychology, and computer science. Researchers are drawn to the field from a variety of backgrounds, bringing along a variety of experimental techniques as well as widely varying theoretical perspectives. Much work in neurolinguistics is informed by models in psycholinguistics and theoretical linguistics, and is focused on investigating how the brain can implement the processes that theoretical and psycholinguistics propose are necessary in producing and comprehending language. Neurolinguists study the physiological mechanisms by which the brain processes information related to language, and evaluate linguistic and psycholinguistic theories, using aphasiology, brain imaging, electrophysiology, and computer modeling.

I'm shaking my head here. Honestly, why did you get the special blue font?
Do movements, or groups have conferences? For example...the Civil Rights Movement holds conferences on Civil Rights. The Tea Party Movement holds conferences. How about that! Were you really trying to trap me on that Ton? Seriously?
Yup, the Global Warming movement scared a lot of people. Fear is a powerful thing especially for the weak minded. Nevertheless, at least here in the US there are enough to know that this is just another attempt at getting money.
The Climate Change MOVEMENT was pretty clear about that at the Copenhagen CONFERENCE and the Durban CONFERENCE.
Put a laughing emoticon on that!
Excuse me then. What was the number you were saying and does Canada have to pay it?
No.
I apologized for my giraffe.
Look.. there are only two real principles that I think are worth having serious discussion over. The rest is just fluffy bits that petros throws in because he thinks he's cool.
1.) The science of anthropogenic global warming.
2.) Reducing emissions as a response to counter that effect.
Let's not get lost in who owes what for which government's plastic ozone freebie.
Start with the science, and then we'll move on to policy.
Because in all honesty, if the science was not sound, none of us would endorse any policy whatsoever, so it logically makes sense to start with the science.
I disagree as do many experts.
I think many would buy into a science where there is money to be made.
As I said earlier, if the US paid BILLIONS into this movement and got every penny they desired we would be allowed to dump as much pollution into the atmosphere as we pleased. We'd be neutral.
"You owe us $10 Billion for last years emissions!"
"Well here you go... $10 Billion."
"Ok... now you're neutral."
It's assinine!
