    And of course our production and consumption of energy is only one facet of a very complex problem concerning anthropogenic impacts on the planet.
    That doesn't address any of the facts actually presented in the video. Instead, you just handwaved away.

        Yes. You ignored any points and just offered an empty comment.

        What exactly do you differ on? The safety record statistics? Deaths per 1000 TWH of generation? Safety considerations.

        Saying "I disagree" actually addresses nothing. It's plugging your ears and going "I can't hear you".

          Which is rather amusing given that the image I posted was The Ship of Fools by Bosch. http://www.hieronymusbosch.net/ship-of-fools/
          Fascinating. I'm surprised I didn't recognize it. Probably because I'm more familiar with a different rendition of the subject by him.






          The other version actually looks more like something by the Brueghels or their studio (below).

                You are again wrong. That painting was not painted by Bosch. It is dated to c 1545-1550 and Bosch died in 1516. It was painted by a follower of Bosch.

                  Why do you allow her to drag you into these endless derails, brother?

                  (cause we all know I never do! )

                    It was rogue06 who made the comments on Bosch and proceeded to make a fool of himself.

                    I merely posted an image of a painting.in my reply to you.

                        Yeah, so? And you're sure it was me? You seem to be having confusion on who's who.

                            To be fair it's an excellent way to know when she's lost the argument and has nothing of substance to say.

                              It's not my problem if rogue06 wants to make a fool of himself.
