Die off, here we come!

Maybe if Seattle's fuckwits would quit hyperventilating, we could get it down to 200 ppm. Stop smoking dope all the time and we'll be at 100 ppm in no time flat.

Well, that made my weekend.

It's time to reduce the corporate tax rate but start phasing in carbon tax credits for heavy industry. That is reasonable conservative position to take.

@4: Ha! Good one. It's funny because a knee-jerk 'cut taxes' is totally on-subject.

@5: If you want stimulate hiring, my suggestion is a good one considering the corporate tax rate is the highest in the world.
The revenues from tax credits will offset it and provide greater efficiency in our use of fuels and stimulate related industries and entrepreneurship.
You are a knee-jerk for using the phrase 'knee-jerk' in this particular scenario.

@6 seriously, have you ever actually directly owned stocks? No corporation pays 40 percent, or even 5 percent.

Unless they forgot to hire lawyers and accounting firms.

In other news, geology.

Huh? There are no numerals in @6.

Hello, Carbon Dioxide
The air, the air is everywhere.

Breathe deep while you sleep,
Breathe deep.

Well, prochlorococcus is responsible for emitting the majority of the earth's oxygen. They live in the deep dark parts of the ocean. They live off of CO2.

So while we're getting more carbon dioxide than ever before maybe the little critters are taking over more space in the ocean to compensate for all this spare CO2. Which means move over Loch Ness. Hello Heather Locklear.

raindrop, Will is referring to the nominal top marginal corporate tax rate versus the rate actually paid--I think the latter is actually 7%, but Will is close enough for corporate work.

But the problem is: If the standard computer model is accurate, at 400 ppm CO2 becomes self-reinforcing because the perma-frost starts to melt, releasing methane.

@8: What's that supposed to mean, might I enquire?

The permafrost is melting.

Time to buy an SUV this weekend. I mean really..why the fuck not? We're not going to do shit about this until millions of white rich people start to die...
