The Year Humans Got Serious About Climate Change -- NYMag

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2015/09/sunniest-climate-change-story-ever-read.html

For human to wean ourselves off carbon-emitting fossil fuel, we will have to use some combination of edict and invention — there is no other plausible way around it. The task before the world is best envisioned not as a singular event but as two distinct but interrelated revolutions, one in political willpower and the other in technological innovation. It has taken a long time for each to materialize, in part because the absence of one has compounded the difficulty of the other. It is extremely hard to force a shift to clean energy when dirty energy is much cheaper, and it is extremely hard to achieve economies of scale in new energy technologies when the political system has not yet nudged you to do so.

Voluntary euthanasia: beware of the godly!

https://theconversation.com/voluntary-euthanasia-beware-of-the-godly-47143

Beware of the godly

Religious leaders such as Archbishop Welby have no particular authority - intellectual, moral, or otherwise - in respect of issues that relate to decisions at the beginning and end of life. Religious leaders are experts on the doctrines of their respective organisations, but that sort of expertise should cut no ice with the rest of us.

Bill O’Reilly’s nonsense “nihilism”: Now the Fox News host is even lying about God - Salon.com

http://www.salon.com/2015/09/06/bill_oreillys_nonsense_nihilism_now_the_fox_news_host_is_even_lying_about_god/

far as the United States goes, it is high religiosity itself that correlates with bad crime rates, deadbeat tax payers, poverty, rampant teen pregnancy, low education, a dearth of life opportunities, early death, and so on. Faith is, in short, part and parcel of a congeries of nasty ills every society should strive to extirpate.

https://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/2015/09/07/the-correlation-of-high-religiosity-in-america-with-everything-bad/

The solution is easy: vote out the conservatives and loosen the grip of faith on America.
