I agree, why are you so afraid of the truth that George was trying to help you understand?

Don't you worry one bit. It's all going to be alright. Until it isn't but hey, you will be dead already by then.

What is it that you guys fear from elevated CO2 lvls? It seems that living in fear of something like that would only lead one to live a life of fear and desperation.

What seems to be the problem with Easter eggs?

@Olivier5,

As if there were no other problems ...

... the prime minister and the Church of England were not happy that the National Trust had removed the word ‘Easter’ from their Cadbury egg hunts.

Discussions went over days in the various media with various points ...

Wait a minute! Cadbury eggs aren't made with chocolate now, are they? They taste like a mix of sheep fat and bee wax, or maybe the opposite.

Cadbury never tasted like chocolate ... J'aime le chocolat

Well, I use to love After Eight a couple of decades ago when they were properly done with great mint and crispy chocolate...

You seem to be oblivious that many in the U.S. hinterland do not care about the non U.S.A. culture. Therefore, whether you are correct, or not, it is a non-sequitur reegarding the fact that the rest of the world may be Francophiles. And, I am quite happy that the developing nations like France. Better they use France as a role model, than WASP America. That might be beyond their ken.

I thought photosynthesis uses CO2 and emits O2? That would mean more CO2 in the atmosphere makes for more O2, and plant life for animals? Where's the science?

There is a Scientific consensus worldwide on global warming having a human cause. But even if it wasn't the case, I take the position that polluting with C02 is bad per se, period. These idiots should all be shipped directly to Beijing.

I agree. Better safe than sorry.

Are you too old to be drafted into any future EU military force? I think Brexit reflects having the good sense to realize that the EU represents not only losing national autonomy, but perhaps being under the hegemony of unter menchen from the continent.

Sorry, I've no need for your lies. You need them because you are afraid of the truth. I'm not.

Are you aware of your lack of respectful repartee to someone that had more responsibility than many in his working years? Not to mention your inability to allow one to have an opinion differing from yours without highly emotional retorts? Might it reflect that you see who France will possibly be subordinate to in the future? Enjoy!

Wrong punch line. It was a Jewish joke where a garment factory owner sees the business going broke, and jumps from the factory building's roof and as he is falling, sees another garment company getting ready for the new season's line incorporating velvet. As he passes his factory's window he calls out, "CUT VELVET!"

Germany can't afford to piss the French, that much is obvious. On the other hand, German n French can make a messy party with the foolish Brits now and it looks like they just might.
