Oh, ok, where'd you get your PHD from and where can I find your peer review of these people's findings?

Have you ever heard of the School of Common Sense? How about the School of Critical Thinking and Analysis?

Scorecard: PHD - 0; MaximumPossibleSuffering - 1.

You’re welcome.

This “report” is several standards of deviations into the nonsense zone.

The US military operates in a wide variety of climate extremes from the Arctic to the Equator, from high condensing humidity to dry arid regions, during day and night, at low altitudes to high altitudes, In storms from hurricanes to geomagnetic, and under vibrations or impacts of various frequencies.

A few degrees change in climate or a few more pissed off and hungry people are not going to adversely affect US military capability either by budget or mission. Although the US far outspends the rest of the world in military expenditures, as a percentage of GDP, the US current expenditures are way lower than historical highs in both the US and certain Communist counties.

Max... wtf are you talking about? We all know the Army is fat on whatever it takes to operate wherever it finds itself. Its not the Army we're worried about here... its the millions and millions of people spread across different locations that the Army will be charged with assisting.

Ok, let’s break down what a college education is and if there might be cheaper and more effective substitutes.

The potential benefits of going to college and obtaining a degree:
1. Employer credibility.
2. Critical reasoning skills.
3. Research skills.
4. Problem solving skills.
5. Contact with previous and future industry leaders for networking opportunities.
6. Academic depth and breadth of knowledge.
7. Ability to get instant answers to questions by a knowledgeable instructor.

The potential costs of obtaining a degree.
1. Tuition cost, potentially running into six figures.
2. Opportunity cost due to very limited earning power while attending college full time.
3. Time efficiency. The content for a four year degree could be completed in half the time.
4. Information obsolescence. Some college courses that need updating have not been updated.
5. Over reliance on theory and under valuation of practical experience.

There are a tremendous number of paradigm shifting entrepreneurs who did not graduate college before becoming successful. Ironically, many of these entrepreneurs were granted degrees later in life without the attendance requirements of the degree granting college.

In order to obtain the benefits without some of the downsides to going to college, one has to develop a plan, study, meet people, and engage in competitive activities to develop the skills necessary to win.

One can measure winning in different ways, but the key is being engaged in an area of interest that has an uncertain outcome. This is how one develops the practical skills necessary for success.

In more general terms, the most successful organism is best able to make use of the resources in their environment over their competition.

Trump, the multi billionaire US President who has several high performing children has far outperformed most PHDs.

If you are feeling like you can’t resist an urge to debate the points above, well I wish you good luck.

It sounds like we read things differently. Based on the headline: U.S. Military Could Collapse Within 20 Years Due to Climate Change, Report Commissioned By Pentagon Says

I would say my response is on point. Just to be clear, I’m not being supportive of the conclusions of whoever issued the report that was commissioned by someone in the Pentagon.

Well I mean... you can work a plow horse into the grave ya know. Even the greatest of armies can be spread too thin. Isn't that what happened to the Roman Empire? And they didn't have to deal with flocks of ticks and mosquitoes. I hate those f'n things.

My loss. I don’t know how I can go on.

But please keep posting.

After all, I love countering B.S. and I know you are not the only one in the audience.

OK, I’ll admit it. You got me. I didn’t not realize you were being sarcastic. In my defense, I did pick up on your post being out of character. Bastard! I now live for revenge!

MIT engineers develop a new way to remove carbon dioxide from air
The process could work on the gas at any concentrations, from power plant emissions to open air.
