If Humans can't overcome "Global Warming", How can we expect to be able to colonize another planet?

We Answered:

You said yourself that managing a martian colony is "far different". And it is. So why do you compare it to the problem of global warming on Earth? There are no similarities between the two, other than how they are challenges to people.

"We humans haven't been able to figure out the Riemann hypothesis (about the zeta function) since its proposal in 1859, so how can we expect to be able to build computers or go to space?" LOL

Also you mentioned that "we as humans" haven't been able to "cope with the climatic changes", but I seen any large numbers of my species die yet.

Also the question of light-speed travel and colonizing a foreign planet are not related, seriously.

And describing an "alternative" as "inevitable" is oxymoronic.

And who told you humans are "so important"? Was it the same person who told you to capitalize the word every time you write it? Ha.

The Left Exaggerated AIDS (Global Warming, Anybody?)?

We Answered:

The reason the aids epidemic was pretty much halted here eventually is because of steps in handling blood, warning people to use protection, providing clean needles to the druggies, etc. Just the other day it was reported that 4 people contracted aids from an organ donor. Still, many people have died in just this country from aids. It did spread to the heterosexual community. Africa is loosing millions of people to aids. That was definitely not overblown. Thank God somebody warned people so they took the steps that were necessary to prevent what would have happened otherwise.

Many of the lakes in this country and others are drying up. Many of the forests have burned and Greenland is turning green again. Something is going on and somebody better make some plans to deal with it. We could face food shortages from the drought and flooding conditions. Atlanta has a huge water shortage. Making these issues political is a big mistake. Calling it to the attention of the think tanks to deal with it is NOT a mistake. You go ahead and worry about liberals all you want for showing some social responsibility.
