The environment is fine. The protests about environment and native americans were a charade by Saudi Arabia; Saudis third part funded while leftists intellectuals were paid to orchestrate it. Saudi Arabia does not want the Dakota Pipeline because the US would import more oil from Canada; Saudi Arabia would lose sales/money from the pipeline. Saudi Arabian gave $25 million to Clinton foundation for her run for presidency becausw she would stop the pipeline unlike Trump. This had nothing to do with environment so stop being a sheep.

Not tree huggers.

Because the standards of education in the American markets has raised and people are too lazy to "catch up" and basically get certified to pursue a profession.

You can't live on minimum wage anymore. Minimum wage is for students in high school and for people without credentials.

Also yes safe spaces have a lot to do with Obongo and his sympathetic attitude towards crybabies and protestors. Just look at how great Reagan was as a president and he didn't put up with shit.

this particular pipeline will not benefit the usa except for the building of it. the pipeline isn't to supply use with oil and the path it's taken will contaminate drinking water, not might will.
if the pipeline supplied us with oil and actually went a route that wouldn't fuck with shit it'd be good but then we would need to rebuild refineries which we haven't leading to the high oil prices.

I'm betting on the following happening.

1. Tar sands are barely profitable now.
2. Carbon taxes and electrification of transportation is going to drive the demand for oil down.
3. Price of oil will fall below the level where tar sands are profitable.
4. Tar sand mines will close.
5. The Dakota pipeline will shut down and the bonds will hard default.
6. Because the government underwrites the bonds the US tax payer will have to pay.

Not that it will matter, but..., point of information:
The Bush Administration did not include or declare the costs of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as part of the national budget, deficit or debt.
When Obumbo took office one of the first things her did was to include tose $$$ into the totals in the interest of 'transparency'.

Another interesting bit of trivia:
Bush also ordered the Department of Labor to reclassify 'assembling' a burger at McDonald's as a 'manufacturing' job in 2003 in order to obscure the fact that the US was hemorraging those jobs.
It worked.

BTW..., I'm a Repub who voted for Trump..., but you should have your facts straight.

Why does everyone care so much about the planet?

different anon, but being a solar technician is probably a more useful skill than working in a refinery. start your own business, etc. good for the economy, certainly better than too big to fail oil companies. not to say there won't be big solar, just an easier access market with less capital required.

Free College. Yeah because fuck education right. Let the poor people stay fucking poor and get no where in life.... sure assholes like you will say "get a better job" but without a better education they can't. Free colleges would be good. It would give the poor a fighting chance, and you could still have your Harvard and Yales.

You're lying. The water that could possibly be contaminated is no longer being used and they have a better more advanced reservoir now purchased by the pipeline company.

There are people who abuse unions no doubt. But take it from someone who worked for 30 years in the same fucking field in a non-union job only to be laid off because someone will come and do my job for much fucking cheaper.

30 fucking years I gave to the company, and because of money and wanting to maximize profits they decided to fuck me over. THIS is why unions are needed. So that a company who wants to make the most money they can, can't do that at the expense of the people who have worked for them for ages.

"Keystone, which runs about 2,150 miles from tar sands in Alberta, Canada, to refineries in the U.S. Midwest, is less than a decade old. After being commissioned in 2010, it reportedly recorded 35 leaks in its first year alone, including a spill of 21,000 gallons of oil in North Dakota."

Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) data on pipeline incidents in the last 20 years indicates that "Significant incidents" number at 5675 since 1996, or about 300 per year. That's a "significant" incident most days of each of the last 20 years. Add in 347 fatalities, 1346 injuries and a cost of 7 and a half billion dollars in damages in that same period (not to mention the threat of climate change) and you might begin to see why people have a problem with our current pipeline coverage, moves to expand them and indeed our addiction to fossil fuels more generally.

>Minimum wage. People used to have minimum wage, and when cost of living goes up and you're not even making minimum wage. You get fucked.
Minimum wage. The minimum goes up but wages above that do not. Meanwhile prices inflate due to the increase in min wage. All the money flows up to the top. the rich get richer, the poor stay poor, and the middle class become poor. Increased Min wage means a better life if the neighboring state doesn't receive it and stays a good place to shop and buy housing. When it happens nationally it helps the rich.
>Free College. Yeah because fuck education right. Let the poor people stay fucking poor and get no where in life.... sure assholes like you will say "get a better job" but without a better education they can't. Free colleges would be good.

Yeah lets buy hobby degrees with absolutely 0 earning potential for poor people who want to say they are a philosopher, gender studies master, art appreciation jedi, theater star, etc.
Loans and grants should only be given to people with marketable degrees. Free education would have to work the same way (and if you are poor you should sign over your fertility rights for the free education. no point in wasting tax payer dollars because you decided to "make babby!" during you Sr year, and drop out).

>B: even if it's a natural cycle, why not take means to prevent any damage were causing?

The appropriate action would depend to a huge extent on how much damage we are actually causing -- my view is that demonstrable changes in global temperature are not causing any actual damage, nor are likely to in the future, based on what actual trends are as opposed to models that have been consistently wrong in predicting trends.

So the need to do much about it seems small.

Further, the cost of what you want to do is a factor. Leftists have a huge shopping-list of leftist nonsense that they want to impose, which would be hugely expensive in terms of monetary costs, as well as human costs accrued from degraded lifestyles. Not all of us want to live in a tree and eat raw squirrel with you guys, Fairly simple and very safe geoengineering concepts are out there that could be subjected to testing, and quickly discontinued if there were negative effects (SO2 spraying at high altitude mimics the ways in which volcanoes naturally cool the atmosphere, for example.) But solving the problem (warming) is not of interest to the Left unless it also involves wealth redistribution and Luddite nonsense where we all get to freeze to death in the dark for the greater glory of Gaea.

>>720135555
They really don't. I know a lot of crackpot backwater internet blog "scientists" through work who are devout Christians that are staunch believers in both the young Earth theory (and even some flat Earth) and that climate change has nothing to do with us and is just how things go. Most of them cite "WELL WE HAD A COUPLE ICE AGES! WAS THAT OUR FAULT TOO?!"

>>720141709

answer me asshole

>>720141392

>>720137236
That actually tells nothing cause the climate always changes. I dont deny the anthropological greenhouse-effect, but you are talking bs. It's not the temperature change that proves anything, it's the concentration of co2 and other gasses that favour said greenhouse-effect. When you look back in human history there were quite some bigger climate changes in shorter timeperiods than a century. When we look at fckw, methan or co2 concentration we are at an all-time high(in human history)because we release lot's of them by burning fossil fuels, using chemical products or breeding billions of animals for meat and milk production.
Temperaturechange doesnt prove shit. Chemical analysis of the atmosphere does. If you want to doubt that these gasses have an impact on our climate ( the greenhouse effect), you can do it. Doubting that these gasses exist or have the POTENTIAL to impact our climate (suggested by scientific experiments) makes you either an expert who knows something the public doesnt know or a retard. It's not religion it's science and you are free to prove ppl wrong.
Tl;dr temperature change doesnt mean shit; the greenhouseeffect is likely to exist; you are all idiots and i am cool.

buying them an unmarketable hobby degree does them less good than buying them a blinged out escalade and will cost more.
With gender victimization degree they spend 5 (4 year degrees take an average of 5 years) years out of the workforce living on teh tax payer's dime. after that they are just as able to get a barista job as they were 5 years earlier.
With the Escalade they can spend 5 years serving coffee to get to that same point.
You for buying a blinged out Escalade for (yourself I assume) and all the other poor people?
Even for marketable degrees you have to lock down how much college costs otherwise colleges will gouge the system (tax payers)

None of what you say argues against what I stated. International price of oil does not affect who buy from who; costs to import/export the oil does. You have to pay for transportation and its much cheaper to buy the oil from Canada instead of Saudi Arabia if the pipeline is built. The only reason the price has dropped is because there is a surplus of oil in the arabic regions do to a low economic performance in most countries.
