I can't reply to each point at the moment, but I'll,hit 2, 5 & 6 real quick.

.2) when I said the economy is going fine, I was meaning the recovery. No I didn't actually word it that way, but I meant the recovery was happening despite actions from the right that slowed it down. The sequester cost us billions and cost a lot of jobs as did the denial of budget tactics that essentially got the right less than what they could of had right at the start.

.5) the ice in Antarctica that you claim is more than ever is typical right wing bull shit, every year in the winter new ice is created, but it's thin ice that melts away in the summer. The important ice is the thick stuff and that is melting away at record pace. It's very easy to learn what the difference is in fresh new ice (ie thin ice) vs the stuff that has been there for thousands of years.

If you actually care, educate yourself as you pretty much just repeated a disproven right wing talking point.

.6) green energy is very real and countries that are committed to it are starting to reap the benefits. Queensland and Australia actually hit negative territory in the middle of the day, when demand is at it's highest due to solar. http://reneweconomy.com.au/2014/sola...e-of-day-63767

You can also read this article about Queensland and how they expect the coal industry will be dead by 2040.
