==> moving the animals from the west to the east
Who said anything about moving the animals? The question was about decreasing the population.

Are the $55 to 93 billion savings based on domestic savings or global savings?
Are the$ 7.3 to 8.8 billion cost figures based on domestics costs or global costs?

Hold that thought.
Is it a step in the right direction? How much will it cost to realize that $55 to 93 billion in benefits?
Without including the costs necessarily to realize the savings, it seems that one is looking at a particular issue - the savings - and looking at it in completely...
While that may be what you'd like to think because that fits the narrative you want to believe, it's simply not true. Since the end of the Apollo program, NASA's budget has steadily declines as a percentage of the total federal budget. In normalized dollars, the numbers have been relatively...
Sounds like a whole lot of assuming going on.

Nor am I claiming to.
==> If we are going to ask a nanny state requirement,
I'm not asking.
==> then in the nexyt breath take th nanny state to task for not funding,
I'm not doing that either. The less involved the government, the better the government.
Good Luck...

==> you cannot conclude that events in 2008 had nothing to do with reductions in emissions per capita in 2008 and beyond.
What I'm claiming, along with presenting facts to support that claim, is that significant events leading to both overall reductions and per capita reductions starting taking...
==> For the major factor, look at the date of the decline. I wonder what happened to the US in 2008….
Actually, in both the total emissions chart and the per-capita chart, the clearly noticeable decline began with events in 2005 and 2007, aided by the effects of the recession during those years...
==> so you’re saying that “they” have been poor in their response to “adaptation” measure thus far. That just furthers my point that “adaptation” alone
Actually, it shows that you're thinking is limited. Don't change the goal of adaptation - change the "they", and their priorities.
Further, if...

"They" being the federal government in their refusal to fund the projects recommended by the US Corps of Engineers to actually implement many of the required adaptations.

Wow. What a load of crap. Even the claim that only 37% of those polled believe that only evolution should be taught in science class is misleading because it doesn't take into account the additional 29% that want evolution in science class, but will allow for the discussion of creationism as a...
==> Ever been to a board of education meeting. You will see how a small group can influence a school system.
Yes I have, and there are always fringe elements trying to push their way and exert influence. That influence is almost always very short-term and ends up being nothing but a blip...
==> State governments are not the end all. They can be just as corrupt/greedy as the federal government.
Agreed. However, the scope and influence of that corruption is restricted to the domain of just that government. Also, it's far easier to replace state officials than it is to replace...
==> If that had not happened, would we have segregated schools today.
No, we wouldn't. At most, the state of Alabama would have segregated schools for at least the duration of Gov Wallace's term in office. It was a federal court that stepped in because Gov Wallace's actions would have violated...
==> This country is spending more and more on education at all levels of government but test scores aren't improving. Obviously money isn't the answer.
Right premise, but wrong conclusions. Obviously, government isn't the answer.
Money is required, but the mistake is first filtering that money...

First all, the work/home balance and overtime situation is important, but an entirely different issue. I absolutely understand the need for work/home balance, and I fully support that you should be paid for all overtime. But if you're not being paid for overtime, then you...
