Was Global Warming responsible for the many deaths in freezing-snow packed Buffalo?

LOL. Like you even know what it means. LOLOLOLOL

HINT: It doesn't just say that entropy increases (there are a LOT of spontaneous reactions in which the entropy value decreases so long as the universe's entropy increases. That's the whole point: it only applies to a closed system.

False equivalence fallacy. You cannot say two different systems are the same system. You are discarding the 2nd law of thermodynamics. It applies to any system.
Entropy can never decrease in any system.

OK, got it. You are retarded. I can't keep explaining simple things to you if you don't even know how money or capitalism work.

Slavery is not capitalism, dude. Redefinition fallacy (socialism<->capitalism).
In the U.S., government prints money. That is the currency people use to buy and sell things; in other words, as a medium of barter. That's how money works. This is called a fiat currency.
In some nations, gold or silver is used as currency. This is called 'hard' currency. Precious metals have been used as currency for thousands of years.

Most nations today use fiat currency.

Money is two things:
* A store of value (meaning that you can buy and sell stuff with it).
* A unit of account (meaning that you can set a price with it).

Money only has value because people trust it. That's true for a fiat currency as well as any hard currency. It doesn't matter if it's bits, gold, silver, dollars, yen, or clamshells.

When people no longer trust a currency, it collapses. People choose a new currency to conduct their business. NO GOVERNMENT CAN STOP IT. Fiat currencies are particularly prone to this problem because governments change, get into financial trouble (like the federal government is in right now!), and the temptation is to try to print your way out of the predicament. This alone is enough to break trust in a currency.

May I ask why you come on here and spout nonsense shit as if you know something? You DO realize that you are out of your depth here, right? Or are you so immersed in Dunning-Kruger that you literally think you are right on any of this stuff???

You aren't part of this conversation. And given that you are about as stupid as asshat I'm guessing this will not be a fun conversation trying to teach two morons that they support all these horrors in the name of capitalism.

not entirely. abolition is a real thing.

it's a moral issue.

Yes. Entirely. Slavery was already on it's way out when it was abolished in the United States. It would've taken a lot longer and never disappeared entirely, if not for the War of Secession (what most people call the 'Civil War', even though it wasn't).
Yes. Slavery is a moral issue. So is communism. So is fascism. They are all forms of socialism. They are all based on tyranny and theft.

The 2nd law of thermodynamics that you discard is not Dunning-Kruger.

regardless of AGW or other factors, renewables are not reliable or capable of supplying enough energy for an economy. You'd have to use nuclear and electrify everything to even come close

The energy market is just that; a market. People will buy the type of energy the feel is best suited for their purpose in buying it.

When government comes around and manipulates or controls any market, it is socialism. It is theft of wealth.

Your handle is Lib Hater? So, you call yourself a patriotic American while you hate half the people in America?

You're not a patriotic American. You're a MAGA moron.

Liberals aren't half the people in America. YOU don't get to determine who is 'patriotic'. You hate America. MAGA is not a person.

No gas or vapor is capable of warming the Earth. You can't create energy out of nothing.

was going to result in more extreme weather conditions.

Higher temperatures do not create any different weather than low temperatures, other than rain vs snow. This is just the old scripture again.
Nordberg said:
We have mot\re violent storms.

More nonsense scripture. You can't even define what 'violent storm' means, or even 'extreme weather'.

We are thinking of adding a new number to hurricane and tornado scales.

You can add whatever number you want. Makes no difference.

Snow is at record levels in many places.

Snow is caused by colder temperatures, not warmer temperatures.

The heat has been record-breaking Droughts are super severe.

Heat is not a drought.

You twits have been saying something like that for 70+ years.

Chanting nonsense scripture will get you nowhere, dude.

-sigh- That YOU SUPPORT all those things you decry if you have a 401k or invest in the stock market. Stand against it as much as you like but it won't change the fact that you implicitly support it.

God, how dumb are you that you can't even understand ONE SIMPLE FUCKING POINT? Are you retarded or something? If so I apologize and will simply leave this point alone. But if not you are one dumb motherfucker.

Redefinition fallacies (401k<->slavery, stock<->slavery). Assumption of victory fallacy. Insult fallacies. No argument presented.

This is not a private mail system, dumbass.

Capitalism is not 'horrors'. It is the voluntary production of products and services for voluntary sale to buyers at the agreed upon price. It is the only system that creates wealth. Anyone can play. No government intervention needed.
